As we approach a new century and a new millennium; we should consider how people in American communities dreamed about and participated in the coming of the twentieth century 100 years ago. The focus of this work is Evansvillendash;ndash;100 years ago the only emerging metropolis between Louisville and St. Louis; and then; as now; the radial center of a hinterland stretching in all directions from 75 to 125 miles. The book illustrates how the city landscape changed because of the early industrial era; how people made a living; how people related toeach other; and how they spent their leisure time. About one-fifth of the images in this collection focus on the residents of the Evansville region; the Tri-State of southwestern Indiana; western Kentucky; and southern Illinois; which has been Evansvillersquo;sservice area since the 1850s.

Keep those drums beating "Grandfather"!By ultraclassic01Always wanted to know a little more about the Powwows and this book explains it all and lots of pictures to look at. Type could be just a bit bigger. Hard to read even with glasses or this book might be saying its time to go to Soaring Eagle Eye Doc.
