Nestled among the slopes of Central Texas Hill Country, Austin has grown
from its frontier beginning to earn nationwide renown as a leader in
arts, business, and government. Four wars and urban redevelopment have
repeatedly altered the city's landscape and culture. Through its
changes, Austin has endured and prospered through the persistence and
innovation of its civic leaders.
With a selection of fine historic images from her bestselling book,
Historic Photos of Austin, Marsia Hart Reese provides a valuable and
revealing historical retrospective on the growth and development of
Austin. This volume, Remembering Austin, captures the journey in still
photography collected from the finest archives. The book follows life,
government, education, and events spanning two centuries of Austin's
history. It captures unique and rare scenes as depicted in more than 100
historic photographs. Published in striking black-and-white, the images
portray the events and people important to Austin's history.
