Joliet: A Pictorial History
|

|
The City of
Joliet is defined not only by smokestacks and steam engines, but
also by the diversity and character of its people. From the
blue-shirted workman to the
crisp boardroom executive, Joliet residents have served, taught,
and led their community to the forefront, taking pride in its
churches, schools, social services, and many fine
accomplishments. Joliet's past is a matter of pride,
and its record of achievements holds promise for the
future. Within the pages of this book, Joliet history comes alive
through carefully selected photographs which open windows to the past.
They enable us to experience the excitement
and vitality of the City's development. Joliet: A
Pictorial History is a book and knowledge to be cherished
forever.
