| Summary |
"This pictorial history of Prescott, Arizona, is based upon over 140 images from the 1916 glass-plate negatives. Complementary images of business advertisements, trade tokens, and streetscapes supplement the main photographs. Richly detailed captions highlight many aspects of the pictures, and the text further explores and describes the town's historic downtown district, much of which still exists"--Provided by publisher |
