Salisbury and Rowan County (Paperback)


From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily
popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced
during this "golden age" can today be considered works of art.
Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the
nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local
landmarks, and assembling crowds of local children only too happy to
pose for a picture. These images, printed as postcards and sold in general
stores across the country, survive as telling reminders of an important
era in America's history.
This fascinating new history of Salisbury and Rowan County,
North Carolina, showcases more than two hundred of the best vintage
postcards available.
