While most people don’t think much about anything leather or the importance of leather today, in the 1800’s, leather was big business. The families of Port Washington Mayor, Charles A.

This book is much more than a family history, included are wonderful stories and little known facts about Port Washington and Sheboygan Falls. It’s a good read.
