Nashville, TN, April 27, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The History of El Paso Told Through Historic Photographs:
Located on the Rio Grande and known as the “Gateway to Mexico,” El Paso has been an integral part of the fabric of United States history. The story of El Paso reflects both a united and progressive spirit and a unique culture that are the foundation of the city’s present-day prosperity and popularity.
With fact-filled photo captions and chapter introductions by Sandra Fye, Historic Photos of El Paso rediscovers El Paso’s fascinating past through nearly 200 rare photographs selected from the El Paso County Historical Society; the El Paso Public Library, Otis A. Aultman Collection; and the Library of Congress, each showcased with exceptional clarity and beauty.
From the arrival of the early railroad lines to presidential visits, military parades, and the Mexican Revolution, El Paso shines through the decades in glorious black-and-white photography, displayed in a large format. This is a great book for any travel, photography, or history fan.
“Many of the buildings built in El Paso are still there, and historic photographs provide a tool to help preserve or restore buildings and neighborhoods. I became a historian to preserve photographs and history for future generations,” says author Fye.
Historic Photos of El Paso is part of Turner Publishing’s Historic Photos series. These books, highlighting the history of the great cities, pivotal events, and legendary figures across America, have been acclaimed as a staple in the collection of anyone who loves history.
