Book excerpt: Ohio's oldest summer resort community, Geneva-on-the-Lake, has been hosting vacationers since 1869, when Spencer and Pratt opened their "Pleasure Grounds." On the 150th anniversary of the resort's founding, author Carl E. Feather combines a portrait of the community today with a sweeping panorama of its past. Illustrated with many never-before-published historical photographs from private collections, as well as original photography by the author, this is the definitive story of The Strip in both images and prose.
