"The first Dutch immigration to the Calumet Region took place in the second half of the 19th century. The area settles by the Dutch spans roughly from what today is part of Chicago's Southside to the western border of Griffith, Indiana, and includes the communities of Roseland, South Holland, Lansing, Munster. and Highland.

Evidence of the early settlers is found all around the Calumet Region. It is in the churches they built, the businesses they started, and the loved ones they buried"--Back cover.
