Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lure of Kalamazoo: A Pictorial Presentation of Its Many Advantages for Industrial, Commercial, and Residential Life in 1912
With the first glimpse of Kalamazoo from the bluffs which surround it, one scarcely wonders that Titus Bronson chose this beautiful spot for his home when he first beheld it in 1829. Here, where the Portage enters the Kala mazoo, the narrow valleys widen into a vast natural amphitheater on whose broad floor lie the rich lands which later made Kalamazoo's fame world-wide. An abundance of springs and little streams of purest water was there, and it had long been a favorite camp for Indians, who called it or the Place of the Boiling Pot. So within a stone's throw of the mound which still mutely testifies to the similarly keen judgment of that mysterious people, the Mound Builders, the first white man built his home.
