Hartford Volume III (CT) (Images of America)

This third volume of Hartford continues the celebration and remembrance of Connecticutâ€™s capital that was started with Wilson H. Faudeâ€™s first two highly successful volumes on the history of the city. This new volume features the hitherto unavailable collection of the cityâ€™s evening newspaper, the Hartford Times. This third trip into Hartfordâ€™s past takes us into the lives and celebrations of the cityâ€™s residents. The fascinating images bring us into Hartfordâ€™s unique celebrations, including Discovery Day and the Tobacco Festival. We also get a glimpse of how the cityâ€™s residents interpreted traditional holidays, with photographs depicting St. Patrickâ€™s Day revelry and shoppers braving holiday retail madness. As you peruse the pages, remember the Times Carol Sing and the Times Camp; remember when presidential hopefuls spoke from the cityâ€™s portico, vying for Hartfordâ€™s support. It is all here in Arcadia Publishingâ€™s third volume of Hartford.
