Located in southwestern Ohio; Mt. Healthy evolved from a pioneer village on the Hamilton Turnpike into a bustling community center in the early 1900s that attracted students and shoppers from surrounding areas. Early settlers were diverse in beliefs and abilities. They were patriotic and hardworking and valued education. Together they built a supportive village in which to live. Their children grew to be productive citizens who were thrifty and industrious in their lives; and that tradition continues today. Mt. Healthy is known for its healthy environment; its unique tailoring industry from 1850 to the 1940s; and its business district that consists of historic commercial buildings constructed with various architectural styles.

"Long Branch" could well serve as a template for post-card oriented photograph history compilationsBy Midwest Book ReviewA superb compilation of period postcards reproduced in black-and-white. "Long Branch" showcases the buildings. avenues. vehicles. and people of Long Branch. New Jersey in the first few decades of the 20th Century. Included are postcard images of the most impressive Long Branch hotels and homes. well-known actors. politicians and business tycoons of the day who visited the area. as well as other prominent people of the community. Of special note are the post card images of the beach. the boardwalk. and Ocean Avenue. Each postcard image is supported by an informative caption by Sharon Hazard. who has strong family ties to Long Branch. Entertaining and informative. "Long Branch" could well serve as a template for post-card oriented photograph history compilations showcasing other American communities.
