Krum is one of the crown jewels of North Texas. Located north of Fort Worth and just west of Denton; Krum was once famous for an award-winning strain of wheat. The town even established three grain mills to accommodate wheat production. Over a million pounds of grain were shipped in 1900; when Krum was known as the largest wagon grain market in the United States. The town now serves northwest Denton County as a center for agricultural; financial; and emergency services; with its citizens as Krums major asset. Descendants of many of the original settlers are still here by preference and are proud to tell the world they live in Krum. Why go anywhere else?

She my son-in-law come to visit us in the Midwest about once a year. I always leave some things on "their" bed for a "I love you" gift. This time along with a few other small gifts. I left a couple books - and this was one of them. I will always remember my son-in-law walking into the living room holding this book. He showed my daughter a picture and told her that is where they go walking ... he liked the book. He was smiling and I was thrilled. I told him they had a whole series of books like this ... God willing. hell find a couple more on the bed when they come for their next visit.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. A Fascinating Gem of old Hollywoodland!By Donna HillThis book is a gem for anyone who loves both Hollywood history and Southern California Romantica architecture. Like other Arcadia titles. this book is chock-a-block with wonderful images. The book is well written. informative and a delightful read. My only caveat was that some of the architectural drawings could not have been produced in color.In short. if you love old Hollywood and feel any kind of nostalgia for the Hollywood sign and the story behind it. this is a must have book.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Love the photographsBy L. LucasWonderful photographs in this book. I am currently collecting books on the history of Hollywood and when I saw this one I had to have it.The photos were clear and tell much about the development of the area. The bibliography at the end was an added bonus. When writing a novel about a time and place far from where I live the photographs are the next best thing to being there and these do not disappoint. The blurbs and captions have given me additional dates and information for research in the future.
