O knihe

This eagerly anticipated sequel to Salem, Ohio provides a pictorial view of Salem in the twentieth century. While preserving the past for future generations, this volume also captures memories for native Salemites who no longer live in town. From the 1906 Centennial Parade to the recent Jubilee parades, all aspects of Salem's heritage are celebrated in this fascinating history. Pictured in this collection are historic buildings that no longer stand, including the Pennsylvania Railroad depot, the Hicksite Meeting House, and the Grand Theater, as well as scenes of the revitalized downtown area. Old schools, churches, homes, mills, mausoleums, and covered bridges provide a glimpse of earlytwentieth- century Salem and document the many changes that have taken place over the years. Photographs of museum artifacts, many of which were products manufactured in Salem, are also included. The author concludes with images of prominent people, such as the internationally known artist Charles Burchfield, and some of the area's unique sights, such as Gen. John Morgan's monument and the beehive coke ovens. Historical information accompanies each of the 234 photographs in this volume.
