They have been virtual serfs on big estates but now at last they are themselves owners of land, in a position to sell their produce to the townsfolk. But the town's marketing regulations are rigged against the free farmers by grafting officials - [ ] - In desperation, they think of giving back to the government their hard-won land. Then a whisper comes upriver from Cartagena of a way for workers to get something better than a bare existence for their labor. The chosen man to find out about this wonderful new plan is Luis Romero, a young farmer." Signed and inscribed by author in blue pen: "To my very good friend Gerry Vaneck, Norman E. Nygaard."

First edition of this thrilling documentary on how Walter Knott transformed his familyâs berry farm into Knottâs Berry Farm. Octavo, original publisher's brown cloth, frontispiece of Knott's Berry Farm, illustrated with black and white photographs. Presentation copy, inscribed by Knott on the title page, "To my friend Mr. A. E. Herrboldt, Walter Knott." Fine in a very good dust jacket. Walter Knott, a California farmer and entrepreneur, transformed his familyâs small berry farm into one of Americaâs earliest theme parks, Knottâs Berry Farm. Originally known for cultivating and popularizing the boysenberry in the 1930s, Knott and his wife Cordelia expanded their farm into a roadside attraction by serving chicken dinners and selling preserves to travelers. To entertain the growing crowds waiting for meals, Knott built replicas of Old West buildings, which eventually developed into âGhost Town,â a cornerstone of the park. Today, Knottâs Berry Farm has grown into a major Southern California theme park that combines historic attractions, family entertainment, and world-class roller coasters, drawing millions of visitors each year.
