Did you know that the founder of New Carlisle is credited with introducing ice cream to Japan? Or that a famous slave trial in South Bend would reverberate through the country and lead to the start of the Civil War? Did you know that Mishawaka was once the Peppermint Capital of the World? Did you know that Indiana and Michigan almost went to war over the narrow strip of land that contains most of St. Joseph County? AN INCOMPLETE HISTORY OF ST. JOSEPH COUNTY tells these stories and more. Throughout the tales of twelve epic bike rides spanning more than 500 miles, you'll discover the history of the towns, cities, rivers, industries, and commerce that have made St. Joseph County what it is today. If you've ever wondered what an episode of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown would look like if it was instead a book about the history of the place called St. Joseph County, wonder no more.
