0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. not enough dated materialsBy barbaraDisappointing...not enough dated materials. Too many pictures of unidentified people. Not even a location or date. Many pictures were included without dates or circa. Some good pictures. but not dated. Some of the prominent locations could have been easily identified with dates. but no effort to do that. History is available right in the county and easily accessible to citizens who live and work right there.
