Through more than 200 photographs, this book documents St. Joseph's and Benton Harbor's development from the time when pioneers first struggled to create a community in the wilderness.
Two distinct communities which share equally vibrant histories, the twin cities of St. Joseph and Benton Harbor possess a rich heritage rooted in agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, and tourism.  This volume pays tribute to the men and women who labored to establish farms and industries, and celebrates the delightful beaches and amusement parks-such as the House of David and Silver Beach-that have brought joy to generations of residents and visitors alike.
