| Publisher Description: Incorporated in 1856, Scranton, Pennsylvania, quickly became a center of industry and commerce and remained that way for much of the 20th century. Many of the industrial, educational, government, and religious institutions constructed during that period of growth have survived to this day. Comparing our present to our past is how we understand our history. Arcadia's Then & Now series makes such local comparisons available. Books in this series offer a special view of American life by placing historical images side by side with contemporary photographs. |
Contributor Bio(s): Crosby, David: - Photographer and amateur historian David Crosby showcases the city's changes and constants through modern photographs paired with historic images that have been preserved by organizations like the Lackawanna Historical Society. |
