Ann Arbor began the 20th century as a modest manufacturing and farm trading center with a small co-existing university community. By the end of the century; Ann Arbor had developed into a cosmopolitan city; home to people from all over the world. Ann Arbor in the 20th Century details the important developments that occurred over a period of 100 years; as residents witnessed the growth of its neighborhoods; schools; shopping areas; and social services. Enormous changes to the physical landscape of the town-brought about by innovations in architecture; the influence of industry and entertainment; and the transition from horse-drawn vehicles to automobiles-are all documented through this collection of photographs. Images of famous visitors; such as Carrie Nation railing against alcohol and President Kennedy introducing the Peace Corps; are included.

Fantastic Photos of Cleveland!By Theresa BrownThis book is full of great photos of Cleveland and tidbits of Cleveland history. Highly recommend for anyone interested in the history of Cleveland. The genealogist will find this a great addition to their collection. Great for putting that family history in context.
