This volume records, through carefully chosen quality images, the
development of historic Bartow from its origins as an outpost in the
interior of a wild state to a respected county seat at the end of the
twentieth century. Drawn from the State Archives of Florida, these
photographs take you back to earlier days when wooden buildings lined
the rutted dirt streets and the railroads hauled citrus and other crops
to market. Revisit the scenes from the City of Oaks and Azaleas that you
know so well, or experience them for the first time. 101 Glimpses of
Bartow offers an intimate glimpse into the rich history of one of
Florida's best-kept secrets.
