Created in 1836 from land held formerly by the Cherokee Indians; Cherokee County is situated in the northeast corner of Alabama; bordered by Georgia to the east. Within these pages; the countys rich and varied history is illuminated by vintage photographs; and its past is brought to life in the faces of its early settlers. The families of the Reverend Whitefield Anthony and others settled at Mudd Creek in 1831 in what was to become Cherokee County. From these first families developed a community that would grow and change along with a young and bustling America; welcoming new industries; farming fertile lands; and building churches and schools to feed the hearts and minds of its young. The photographs in this volume; illustrating the countys past as well as how it looks in the present day; were culled from a variety of sources; including the Cherokee County History Museum; the Pine Grove Baptist Church; and the private collections of many local families. Coupled with a historical narrative; these glimpses of yesteryear will evoke fond memories for all who have made Cherokee County home.

Wonderful history of Cincinnati streetcars and other forms of transportation - and not boring!By cherypkrEnjoyed this book because I rode those early streetcars to school. the zoo. Eden Park and other locations around the Cincinnati area. School children were given free tokens and a card to show when riding the streetcars if they lived too far to walk. On Sundays. I used to get on a streetcar. go to the end of the line and get a different streetcar from there. Thats how I learned about the town and its history. Transfers were free and didnt expire. The schools and transit companies encouraged school children to use the Sunday streetcars to get to know their city.It was a safe and secure way for 3rd graders and older students to see Cincinnati. Dont be shocked by the 3rd grade status. My brother sold newspapers in downtown Cincinnati at 4th and Walnut when he was 8 years old. The Post papers starting hiring at 8 years old.I love my car. but will always cherish the days of sitting on a streetcar looking at all the buildings. homes and activities offered in areas I couldnt have seen without this service. You could get off and on as you pleased. If you love history and enjoy pictures of how things were in the past. you will love this book. Great pictures.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Very well-written and a photographic feast!By A voracious readerIm a huge fan of public transit and I also love Arcadia books. Allen J. Singers book about Cincinnatis mass transit history is one of the best books of this type Ive ever read. Mr. Singer obviously researched the subject matter very extensively and he has a wonderful writing style. The other appealing aspect of this book is the photos. which are quite a treat.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. great picsBy GJC9801Arived on time. great pics. good info
