Bringing History to Life... is the title of our new book. It is a photo compilation of photos of living history people, events and places. And in addition to the photos we asked a hand full of folks to add their impressions of what this passion for history is all about. This 10 X 10 “coffee table book” has a linen cover in Midnight Blue with a full color dust jacket. The finished product contains over 150 full color photos from over the past several years. We did not target any specific events or people - just picked some of our all time favorite photos - some that have appeared on the website - some that have not.
