  Product Description

  Lake Geneva was originally called Kishwauketoe by the Oneota tribe, a name meaning clear or sparkling water. Carved out by a glacier, this same crystal water has attracted residents and tourists for centuries, and continues to be a retreat for many in every season. Through a collection of vivid vintage postcards, authors Carolyn Hope Smeltzer and Martha Kiefer Cucco provide an overview of Lake Geneva's rich history, rendered in views of mansions, cottages, and camps, and in images of recreation, the surrounding towns, and, of course, Lake Geneva itself.

  [Pages: 160] [ISBN: 091102882X] [Pub. Date: 2008]

  Product Description

  In 1905 Homer Sargent Michaels, an automobile agent based in Chicago, developed an unusual solution to one of the thorniest problems facing early motorists: how to find one’s way from one city to another along the poorly marked rural roads of the time.  Michaels’s solution was to take photographs of every major intersection or turning point along a given route. The resulting books—ancestors of today’s digital in-car navigation systems—were remarkably useful, but few copies survive.Now the Chicago Map Society, in collaboration with the Newberry Library, has compiled a new edition of one of Michaels’s 1905 guides showing the route from Chicago to Lake Geneva, a resort town in...

  Customer Review - Beautiful book about Lake Geneva Wisconsin!

  My neighbor who grew up in Lake Geneva, WI made me aware of this book. I have been going up to the Lake Geneva area since 1978 and this book does a remarkable job of showcasing all of beauty of the lake and all of the historic wooden boats that grace its waters. Most boats include a one page spread with a picture, its history and a story including its current owner. The pictures are fantastic with most by pro photographer Bruce Thompson. The book layout is very professional and the binding and paper is high end.
