| Publisher Description: The history of Hartford is so dense and interesting, one book would have never been enough to cover it all Wilson H. Faude's first photographic history of Hartford was a wonderful collection of images dating from the 1850s to the 1960s. Now, he brings us a second volume of images from our past. Drawn from hitherto unpublished sources, these photographs again lead us on a fascinating and fun journey down memory lane, back to the days when Frank's was on Asylum, Sage-Allen's lit up the holiday sky, and events such as the Mile of Dimes and people like Dan the Bare Foot Man were an integral part of the city. This comprehensive and accessible history preserves the past and also benefits the future, for all royalties will be donated to the ongoing preservation of the Old State House and to the Hartford Collection of the Hartford Public Library. |
