Book Description
Native North Carolinians tend to learn the state toast (adopted by the General Assembly in 1957) in childhood. As with the state motto, Esse Quam Videri (To be rather than to seem), such words from the toast as ?Here's to the land of the longleaf pine” hold an amazing power to inspire the varied denizens of North Carolina, a state with deep and varied agricultural and industrial histories. Words are fine for inspiration, and for recording the achievements of those who once heard or spoke such words. However, a single photograph offers a window into a lost past that is difficult to capture in words alone. This volume, Historic Photos of North Carolina, provides nearly 200 such glimpses of life in the Tar Heel State. From the mid-1800s through the mid-1900s, from Cape Hatteras to Asheville, from scenes of farm families working in the fields to Orville Wright in flight at Kill Devil Hills, these historic black-and-white images seek to capture the essence of change in the land of the longleaf pine.

Book Description
Founded in 1778 by George Rogers Clark at the falls of the Ohio River, the city of Louisville emerged quickly as a center for river commerce. Through the Civil War, the early twentieth century, two world wars, and into the modern era, Louisville has continued to shine as a great American city steeped in history. Historic Photos of Louisville captures the journey of Kentucky’s largest city through hundreds of historic photographs culled from the finest archives in local, national, and private collections. Handsomely bound in one volume and showcased in vivid black-and-white are images of the best-known and many lesser-known landmarks and key moments from the city’s past. Join writer James Anderson in this nostalgic look back at penny farthings and the Dixie Flyer automobile, mule-drawn trolleys and the L&N Railroad, bourbon whiskey, the Louisville Slugger, the Flood of 1937, the Sennings European Hotel, the grand Rialto Theater, and of course Churchill Downs, among a potpourri of other fascinating subjects.

Book Description
Perpetual sunshine, palm trees, miles of unbroken beaches, yachts, cliff-top mansions, millionaires—these are the images of Orange County that come to mind for many people, and there is much truth in this depiction, for Orange County is a place of boundless natural wonders that attracts more than 25 million tourists a year. However, the full story of Orange County is far more complex. It’s a story of Juañeno Indians, conquistadors, Franciscan padres, rancheros, wildcatters, artists, and filmmakers. Historic Photos of Orange County offers some 200 images drawn from the county’s fascinating past, from the mission ruins of San Juan Capistrano, to the turn-of-the-century celery fields of Westminster, to the eye-popping fantasia of a young Disneyland. By East Coast standards, Orange County is a relative baby—just over a century old—and tiny compared with most California counties; but its population is second only to neighboring Los Angeles County and growing every day. This volume captures the story of Orange County’s evolution from a sleepy backwater suburb of Los Angeles to an international tourist destination.
