Hartford

Images of America: Connecticut

by Wilson H. Faude (Editor)

Wilson H. Faude's first photographic history of Hartford was a wonderful collection of images of the city from the 1850s to 1960s. Now, he brings us a second volume of images from our past. These photographs again lead us on a fascinating and fun journey down memory lane, back to the days when Frank's was on Asylum Sage-Allen's lit up the holiday sky, and events such as the Mile of Dimes and people like Dan the Bare Foot Man were an integral part of the city.

Drawn from hitherto unpublished sources-most notably Tony De Bonee's personal collection of fifty years of chronicling the city and the Hartford Collection of the Hartford Public Library-this is a feast for all who enjoy Hartford.

This comprehensive and accessible history preserves the past and also benefits the future, for all royalties will be donated to the ongoing preservation of the Old State House and to the Hartford Collection of the Hartford Public Library.
