Allegany County was established in 1789 and is truly one of America's
historic transportation and industrial centers. The images presented
here portray this heritage and were selected with care from the author's
collection of several thousand postcards. The book features Allegany's
towns and communities, downtown business scenes, residential areas,
industries, historic buildings, churches, schools, hospitals, floods,
parades, coal mining, railroad stations, and historic and natural
landmarks. In some cases, the personal messages sent on the back of the
postcards are included.
