Produktinformationen zu „Racine (ePub)“
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 "e;the Belle City"e; of the Great Lakes (from the French word belle, meaning "e;beautiful"e;). 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 ago - a pictorial documentation of Racine preserved for future generations to enjoy.
