From its birth to the present, Knoxville 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 best-selling book
Historic Photos of Knoxville, William E. Hardy provides a valuable and
revealing historical retrospective on the growth and development of
Knoxville. Remembering Knoxville captures this journey through still
photography selected from the finest archives. From the city's early
days in the nineteenth century to recent times, Remembering Knoxville
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.
