{"product_id":"richmond-county-and-the-seaboard-stephen-e-massengill-9781531611965","title":"Richmond County and the Seaboard Air Line Railway","description":"Richmond County and the Seaboard Air Line Railway presents vintage photographs by talented photographer Frederick \"Frank\" Marchant (1872-1942). The images document the bustling railroad town of Hamlet and the county seat of Rockingham in North Carolina during the first quarter of the 20th century. Marchant, a native of Pennsylvania, arrived in Hamlet in the early 1900s. By 1907, he was working as a commercial photographer and as the official \"picture taker\" for the railroad company. Marchant developed a keen eye for interesting subjects, and some of his work took on a photojournalistic quality. His photographs, many of which he published as postcards, record rail activity in the Hamlet area, which became the \"hub\" of the Seaboard Air Line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen E.
