Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In November 1834, Capt. Gilbert Knapp staked a claim to 141 acres at the mouth of the Root River, naming it Port Gilbert. This site became the city of Racine. During the pioneer years, Racine was dubbed the Belle City of the Great Lakes (from the French word belle, meaning beautiful). The growth of this beautiful city and its harbor was captured in vintage postcards at a time when people sent little notes and messages to friends and family the way people use e-mail and cell phones today. These cards are like vignettes showing the changes that have taken place since one century agoa pictorial documentation of Racine preserved for future generations to enjoy.
