Columbus has been uniquely positioned to take advantage of booming industry and trade throughout its history. Established in 1828 on the fall line of the Chattahoochee River; where the Piedmont Plateau meets the Coastal Plain; Columbus owes much of its success to the river; yet; there is much more to the city and its identity. Images of America: Columbus uses vintage images to explore the citys past in an effort to capture "what progress has preserved." This photographic collection travels back through time to take an intimate look at how Columbus transformed from a frontier town into the redefined and revitalized city that it has become. These photographs capture businesses; churches; busy street corners; and other city landmarks; as well as more personal glimpses of individuals; families; and homes. By revisiting the heart of the city; readers are offered a chance to easily imagine Columbuss past as if it were still alive today.

Beautiful color photographs. well written historical information about the painter and the country. and wonderful recipes. The recipes all look delicious and yet mostly easy to prepare. Ive already used recipes from the book 3 times (Ive had the book less than 10 days) and have been very pleased with results. This is a great book to own or to give as a gift.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Visually stunning. greatly informative. with food gardening thrown in!

Inspiring Book!By Ike CarterBeautiful book ! We have been to Paris many times. This time we will finally see Giverny. The book is inspiring for those of us who not only love art. but love gardening and cooking. We made some changes to our garden this year. I will enjoy this spring watching the lettuce grow over a glass of wine and your book.
