According to https://sdhistoricalsociety.org/publications/NLHist/NLHist/P488-496.php "This paper was written by Regna [sic] Randolph, daughter of Loring E. and Nell (VanLeeuwen) Randolph, for a University of Michigan class in 1941. She was not an expert in sociology, but merely a student, and some of her conclusions might be argued, and some of her dates might be questioned, but it provides an interesting insight into a young person's view of the Village of Saugatuck, the people who lived there, and how it got that way."
