Book Synopsis
Having grown up as the son of the last private owner of Bonneyville Mills in Northern Indiana, Carl Mauck and his sister Carol Jean had an idyllic childhood there. Although there have been numerous articles in newspapers and periodicals through the years, no writer has ever told the complete story or done justice to the lives of the men and women who have kept Bonneyville so vivid in the minds and hearts of the residents of Elkhart County and Northern Indiana. Even in a biography preface of Edward Bonney, who built the Mill in 1837, there was no mention of Bonney's life in "our" Bonneyville. This book which compiles and shares previously unpublished photos and information about the Mill, is dedicated to the families who worked there and the hardships they endured, as well as the men and women who have devoted years to making the property the wonderful county park it is today.
