Before there was a Disneyland, there was Knott's Berry Farm. What started out in the early 1920s as a small, roadside berry stand in Buena Park, California, grew over the next 60 years into one of the most popular amusement parks in the world. Its founder, Walter Knott, along with his wife and family, knew no boundaries when it came to expanding his small berry market and tearoom into the world-famous Chicken Dinner Restaurant and later adding his ultimate achievement, Ghost Town. This book documents the early history of Knott's Berry Farm, featuring over 200 rarely seen images.

"This book tells the remarkable story of how Knott's Berry Farm, America's first Old West-themed amusement park, was born and became famous because of Mrs. Knott's chicken dinners and Mr. Knott's vision. Cordeila Knott was a determined and steadfast wife, mother, grandmother, and innovator. Here is the story of her life, and how she developed a successful world-class food business from scratch, with the help of Walter Knott, their four children, grandchildren and loyal employees"--P.
