"Memories of Times Past, A Nostalgic Collection of Personal Stories and Photographs Recalling the Way Life Was in the Early Part of the Twentieth Century" recounts personal stories, accompanied by over 200 vintage photographs that vividly bring the stories to life. These memories recall events, people, and interesting tid bits from the first half of the last century. These stories are often amusing, or even hard to believe, but they're always interesting. In an era of “information overload” these selective vignettes and photographs of real peoples’ lives take a nostalgic glance back to an often-forgotten history.
