Peter J. De Kever, Mishawaka: A History — the city-commissioned history, PDF on the City of Mishawaka's own site, read whole
What it is: the modern commissioned history of the city, published as a PDF on mishawaka.in.gov, and this build's narrative backbone: nearly every pass read it whole or extensively, and the Story of Mishawaka section leg stands on it. De Kever also wrote Lost Mishawaka (used by the Industrial and Hotels passes at summary and reported strength — a whole read of its chapters stands named as a settling pull), Walking Mishawaka, and a life of Rose Hartwick Thorpe whose publication year the Mishawaka Historical Museum's book list is the sole carrier of in the record reached.
Its standing, from this build's experience: it is the fullest single account of the city that exists, and the build tested it constantly — sometimes sustaining it (the factory-age Mexican Mishawaka of the Communities leg, sustained at the factory gate), sometimes correcting it at record strength (the brewery's closing year, the Milburn billing, the 1909 road-racing sentence, which fails as written in the Racing leg). Its silences are also evidence, at find strength: the Black History leg verified by search that the book contains no occurrence of "Klan" or "African," and the Technology leg that "telegraph" and "computer" never appear in it — negatives printed as findings about the commissioned history, not as facts about the city.
Where it fails: where a commissioned summary must: it compresses. The South Bend build's 1850 distilling line and this build's 1839 Wagner record meet in De Kever's pages; his fatal brewery explosion and destructive fire are undated and the man killed unnamed — a named gap in the Wineries leg, with the Enterprise film as its settling source.
