Produktinformationen zu „Roanoke in Vintage Postcards (ePub)“
Officially chartered in 1882, Roanoke is nestled among the Blue Ridge Mountains and is often referred to as the "e;Star City of the South."e; The history of this remarkable community is captured here through the images of the picture postcard. With the construction of each new bank, school, bridge, and church, the postcard became a convenient way to promote and celebrate the achievement; now, these images preserve a collective record of Roanoke's heritage. See how the area looked in the early 1900s, with its dirt streets, trolley tracks, horse-drawn wagons, and Model Ts. Postcards of succeeding decades frame the growth of Roanoke from a railroad town to the center of commerce and industry in Southwestern Virginia.
