Great Book

Great collection. Well organized. Well-written introductions to each section. Images fascinating and diverse. Great addition to my library.

Time Travelling

An excellent book with photos that makes one feel like you are travelling back in time. The Times Union should publish more books like this considering the wealth of photos they must have in their archives. Also, they should consider selling their historical photos.

great memorial to our past! nicely don! Thanks for the great job!!!
