The Cliff-Dwellers is a novel written by Henry B. Fuller. The story is set in Chicago during the late 19th century and revolves around the lives of various characters who reside in one of the city's first skyscrapers, the Clifton Building. The novel explores the social and economic changes that were taking place during this time period, as well as the struggles and challenges faced by the city's inhabitants. The main characters include the wealthy and powerful Mr. Charley De Witt, his socialite wife Bertha, the ambitious young architect George Gearson, and the struggling artist Hermy Wauchope. As the story unfolds, the characters' lives become increasingly intertwined, and their relationships are tested by love, jealousy, and betrayal. The novel is a vivid portrayal of the rapidly changing urban landscape of Chicago, as well as a commentary on the social and economic issues of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
