The transformation of Joliet from a lush prairie to a vibrant industrial community in the late 19th century is highlighted, showcasing the impact of Eastern European immigrants. As it evolved, Joliet shifted from an industrial hub to a popular tourist destination, featuring attractions like the NHRA drag strip, NASCAR track, casinos, and a minor-league baseball team. The book emphasizes the city's rich cultural heritage and community spirit, culminating in its recognition as an All-American City in 1955.
