Customer Reviews

Hold history in your hand.

An excellent contribution to Turner Publishing's "Historical Photos" On the surface, this could be any city. On a closer look, you can see not only historic sites and people in the nearly two hundred photographs, but the city has already taken on the feel that makes Dallas great. One fun thing about the photos that include historic places like Love Field and Adolphus Hotel is the pictures of the changing technology. Can you imagine working at the central switchboard (phone system) or protecting your health by drinking Budweiser? "It's Thoroughly Aged - Not Green or Unfinished." This is not just a hodge-podge of unrelated photos. The collection was chosen and arranged by Michael V. Hazel, a native of Dallas, who taught Dallas history at SMU. The photos are chronologically ordered in eras from the 1940s through 1969. Living there since 1957, my history overlaps; however, I could not find a picture of me. Yet we can all live this time with this book.
