The Images of America series generally does a good job of representing America's great metropolitan centers, and the Louisville edition is no exception. From Churchill Downs to the (once) bustling downtown to train stations, local architecture, ethnic enclaves and the area's many other sites of interest, Anderson and Neary's work creates a vivid array of imagery as to the "sense" of being a Louisvillian during the first half of the last century. And by capturing Louisville's diversity -its irreproducible blend of Midwest and South, of old and new, of Victorian grandeur and industrial grit - the book presents a pleasing portrayal of this quintessential American city; it should be enjoyable to all with an interest in the history of urban America.
