By the mid nineteenth century, the city of Columbus was a vibrant
cultural center of the North. From its birth to the present, Columbus
has consistently built and reshaped its appearance, ideals, and
industry. Through changing fortunes, the city has continued to grow and
prosper by overcoming adversity and maintaining the strong, independent
culture of its citizens. With a selection of fine historic images from
his bestselling book Historic Photos of Columbus, Nick Taggart provides
a valuable and revealing historical retrospective on the growth and
development of Columbus. Remembering Columbus captures this journey
through still photography selected from the finest archives. From early
days to the recent past, Remembering Columbus follows life, government,
education, and events throughout the city's history. This volume
captures unique and rare scenes through the lens of more than a hundred
historic photographs. Published in vivid black-and-white, these images
communicate historic events and everyday life of two centuries of people
building a unique and prosperous city.
