Madison County became the hub of West Tennessee in the 20th century. Now major highways and rail lines traverse the county and its seat; Jackson. Three railroad companies and industry spawned by the railroads; such as the cotton mill town of Bemis; provided the main sources of employment during the 1900s. As job opportunities abounded; the population grew. Images of America: Madison County features the industrial development; business history; and lives of those people who were touched by this tremendous growth in Jackson and the county�s outlying communities during the 20th century.

Simply outstandingBy Midwest Book ReviewThis latest edition to the Then and Now series is simply outstanding and a must for any library purporting to hold a definitive San Francisco collection. It offers side-by-side contrasts of what was and what is Potrero Hill. offering many photos previously unpublished in the process and examining the rapidly-changing face of The Hill. Potrero Hill receives relatively little mention in larger San Francisco histories. making this particularly engrossing.
