Good Reference Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book is comprised of two historical photos of Fall River per page, divided by chapters such as "Buildings", "Schools", etc. The text is the captions under the photos. There is a wealth of information in those captions such as: what year a structure was made, what year it was razed, what took its place, its location both old and new, etc. It is an easy reference tool to historical Fall River, Massachusetts, in the sense that it would take a person poring over many other books to get all this information, if you even did then. What I did not like about the book: The author did not include a great variety of schools or churches, and had several on the same property. Photos on Lizzie Borden are four: Portrait of Lizzie; photo of murder house; arrest log; and the entrance to Oak Grove Cemetery.I enjoyed this well-done book. But I wish there were more photos in it.
