Hartford, Volume III

This third volume of Hartford continues the celebration and remembrance of Connecticut s capital that was started with Wilson H. Faude s first two highly successful volumes on the history of the city. This new volume features the hitherto unavailable collection of the city s evening newspaper, the Hartford Times. This third trip into Hartford s past takes us into the lives and celebrations of the city s residents. The fascinating images bring us into Hartford s unique celebrations, including Discovery Day and the Tobacco Festival. We also get a glimpse of how the city s residents interpreted traditional holidays, with photographs depicting St. Patrick 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 city s portico, vying for Hartford s support. It is all here in Arcadia Publishing s third volume of Hartford."
