Post-World War II Ashtabula was a major Great Lakes port with a thriving downtown. Local photographer Richard E. Stoner began taking photographs of the growing city in 1938; and for the next 58 years; his lens captured Ashtabulas businesses; industries; and citizens. His commercial accounts ranged from the harbors Pinney Dock and Transport Company; to Main Avenues locally-owned Carlisle-Allen Company department store; to Ashtabulas major war industries. Dick Stoners earlier photographs capture the Ashtabula that once was; including the week-long Sesquicentennial Celebration of 1953. His later photos record the beginnings of fundamental change in our way of life. Also included in this volume are some pre-1930s photographs by Vinton N. Herron; whose work Stoner purchased when Herron retired. For Ashtabulans; this is a family album. For others; it is a look at a bygone time in Midwest America.

AN INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE BOOK ON RARE BIRDS OF A SPECIFIC KIND. I LIKE THE BOOK.By Dr K ViswanathanTHIS IS A WELL WRITTEN BOOK ON THE RARE AND ENCHANTING BIRDS. THE ONLY IMPORTANT THING MISSINGIS THE ABSENCE OF COLOR PICTURES OF THE BIRDS.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. So disappointedBy CustomerI love bird books and thought this would be a nice addition to my small Kindle collection. Wrong. Not one picture of a bird. Not one. This was billed as something appropriate for Kindles that could handle color. Nothing on the phone version of the Kindle either. Here and there a word of text carried the same pink as the cover. The discussion of the birds was slightly interesting. I know it was cheap. but I wouldnt bother downloading if it were free.
