Nestled in the Piedmont region of the Appalachian Mountains; the small farming community of Pine Ankle was established in the 1830s on the former lands of the Creek Nation. In 1872; industrialists Samuel Noble and Daniel Tyler purchased the land for their Woodstock Iron Company; and in 1883 the town was opened to the public as Annie�s Town. It grew rapidly; and by the early 20th century Anniston was not only the seat of Calhoun County; but also home to numerous textile and iron industries as well as a thriving military complex. The vintage photographs in Images of America: Anniston Revisited showcase the daily lives of Annistonians and Fort McClellan soldiers during a time when Noble Street was a bustling urban center. Anniston�s homes; schools; and community centers are featured; along with the expanded downtown area and Fort McClellan; to paint a vivid portrait of �The Model City.�

I took off a star because I was expecting more stories than the book offers. On the upside. the artwork is nice and the grim tone held up to my standards. Very happy with my purchase!Tip: If youre poor like me. buy used. I personally cant justify paying $20+ on such a thin book. But if you have the money. buy full price to support the artists work.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Short. but entertainingBy J. BrooksI have been awaiting the next book by Ben Catmull ever since "Monster Parade" caught my eye in 2006. His follow up. a collection of pictures and stories about haunted houses. is a welcome edition to his small collection of output. but it is entirely too short for the price.Though the page count is listed as 88. only half of those contain drawing. The format of the book contains a short (usually just a sentence) story on the left page and a drawing of the haunted house in question on the right. It is very entertaining. and the artwork is fantastic. but the price is quite high compared to the time invested in reading it.I can imagine myself revisiting it again. though not too frequently. The content. while macabre. would not be too terribly inappropriate to read to a child. Though nightmares could result.I liked it. I waited almost 7 years for it. I just wish there was more here.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. it is a perfect addition to my coffee table readsBy Jasmine WyrickGorgeous book. it is a perfect addition to my coffee table reads.
