Description: HERE ARE 3 IMAGES OF AMERICA BOOKS:#1 Images of America FORGOTTEN DETROITPaul VachonArcadia Publishing, Charleston, SC, 2009, First EditionSoftcover, very good condition, minor shelf/reading wearFrom the Images of America seriesDetroiters know their history well. Founded in 1701 by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, the city subsisted on a variety of industries: fur trading, stove building, and, of course, the automobile. Names such as Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh resonate in Detroiters' common memory. Detroit's meteoric rise during the 20th century established the city as an influential leader in commerce, culture, and religion. This growth spawned the development of numerous businesses, organizations, and institutions, many now forgotten. Albert Kahn left his indelible mark. Mary Chase Stratton created a new art form. And Henry Ford II changed the course of his family legacy. Forgotten Detroit delves into the wellspring of history to retell some of these lesser-known stories within Detroit's rich heritage. This book is illustrated throughout the informative text with MANY black & white period photographs. In 1995, the Detroit News donated its photographic archive to the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University. This outstanding collection is the major source of this book's images.#2 Images of America HAMDENHamden Historical SocietyArcadia Publishing, Charleston, SC, 2004, First PrintingSoftcover, very good condition, minor shelf/reading wearFrom the Images of America seriesHamden, CT is nicknamed "the Land of the Sleeping Giant" after the series of hills within its bounds that resemble a recumbent giant. But Hamden is much more than the resting place of the legendary "Hobbomock." The town's history is illustrated here in Hamden, which contains photographs dating from the 1840s through the late 1900s. These vintage images depict the contours of community life in Hamden. The collection highlights famous residents, including Eli Whitney and Thornton Wilder; local eccentrics, including the wandering Leatherman and William Beamish, a female printer who lived as a man; changes in the land from forest to farmland to suburbia; businesses, institutions, civic organizations, and churches; the people at play - from skaters on Lake Whitney to hikers on the Sleeping Giant.The photographs in this collection are drawn almost entirely from the Hamden Historical Society's archives.#3 Images of America MARFALouise S.
