Ripley County in Vintage Postcards (Novelty) (ISBN-13: 9780738507347)

As every collector knows, postcards were in the past and are today a means of both promoting one's home town, and of sending a short, to-the-point message to a relative or friend. In this exciting new volume, collector and author Alan F. Smith shares his postcards and photos of Ripley County, Indiana. These images allow the reader to respect the trials, tribulations, and triumphs experienced by those who lived in Ripley County through the years. The towns and villages featured in this volume, like those in all rural areas, had their favorite saloons, general stores, hotels, churches, homes, and interesting historic landmarks. Fortunately for us, these carefully preserved postcards and photographs provide us with a glimpse into this fascinating past.
