[ebooks] Cincinnati's Golden Age (Images of America) by Betty Ann Smiddy at Arts-Photography

Description

In 1719; sixteen families left Ireland for America and founded a community called Nutfield; which evolved into modern Derry. For centuries; Derry retained its small-town character; but the 1963 opening of Interstate 93 changed the town forever. Within a decade; its population doubled. Derry is now the states most populous town. This charming collection of over two hundred photographs presents Derry in its quieter years; when trolleys crisscrossed the town; most of the men worked in shoe factories; and traffic on Broadway stopped each morning as the Hood cows crossed to their pasture. For many older residents; these images will bring back a flood of memories. Newcomers will better understand the traditions that helped shape the town. Derry Revisited evokes a sense of expanded pride in the heritage of Derry.
