Around Pottstown travels back to Pottstowns golden era. Since its founding in 1752; Pottstown has had a catalytic effect on the surrounding area with its industrial and commercial growth during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The horse and wagon gave way to new transportation methods; such as canal boats; railroads; and bridges; which afforded connections to the world market. Most importantly; this collection of vintage postcards shows Pottstowns citizens through the places where they shopped; went to school; worshiped; and celebrated life.

Whether you are a new Austinite like myself. or an oldtimer. this book is sure to please as do all the books in the Images of America series.With its proliferation of great photos old and new. you will surely find something of interest. There are pictures of schools and hotels of the past with descriptions below. stores from their original inception to their closings (or burnings down!). and pictures (look at those long skirts) and horse and buggies that will amaze you. This is primarily a pictorial history of Austin; it is anything but dry. Rather. it gives insight into the people. places and things that formed Austin to be the exciting Capital city that it is. One thing I did notice was that women played an early important role in this State!Highly recommended!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
