Síntesis:
"Duluth's unparalleled park system consists of about 170 properties and roadways encompassing approximately 12,000 acres--that's roughly 25 percent of the entire city dedicated to public parks and open spaces. From 1856, when pioneer townships first platted public squares, through 1956, when the Zenith City changed its form of government, Duluth's Historic Parks explores how pioneers, politicians, and a generous and energetic public worked together and independently to create one of the most complete and complex park systems in the nation. It then continues the saga, explaining changes made to the parks over the past sixty years and plans for their future, culminating in a unique history of Duluth seen through the creation and care of its parks."--Back cover.
