| Publisher Description: Local historian Chuck Mauro provides a look at the rich past of Herndon, Virginia, in fascinating and historical images. Mauro illustrates the diverse aspects of Herndon s history, including the town s earliest settlers, remnants from the Civil War, the railroad and the dairy farming that sparked the development of the town, the town s black population and the architectural character of the town s historical buildings. These archival and modern photographs provide a window to Herndon s past where the subjects no longer exist and can be seen today only through the use of historical images images that current memories cannot faithfully re-create. Herndon: A History in Images is an essential volume on this vital small Virginia town." |
