Book Description
"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.
