Charleston, SC: Arcadia Publishing, (1999). Octavo, softbound (slick, photo. illus. wrappers), 127 pp, [i]. Near-Fine. From lower cover: Since the development of photography in the mid-nineteenth century, the camaera has been used as a tool of both discovery and preservation. Photographs bring alive our image of the past and can open a floodgate of memories and nostalgia or inspire curiosity and asense of history. In this fascinating visual history we see Worcester through the eyes of those who have lived, worked, and played there for the last 120 years. We are led on a journey down Main Street of the past, and watch it grow and expand along with the surrounding community. The people wh omake up the heart of this community are here as well; while daily life has changed a great deal over the last century, the pride and pasion for life characteristic of the people of Worcester remain strong to this day. Lois Yeulenski is a native and lifelong resident of Worcester and has long been itnerested in its history. With the photographs collected here she has created a delightful journey into the past which will appeal to young and old alike.
