Jerry R DesmondAs Chattanooga blossomed in the mid-nineteenth century so too did the art of photography. The photographers that captured scenes of Chattanooga life over the past century on film were unknowingly creating visual images that have become some of our mot important and accessible historical records. To create this book, Jerry R. Desmond, Curator, has combined more than 200 images--many of them rare and previously unpublished-- from the collections of the Chattanooga Regional History Museum with concise, compelling captions to bring Chattanooga's history to life. At once educational and entertaining, this delightful visual history will earn a lasting place on area bookshelves and be treasured for years to come by young and old, resident and visitor alike.
