Autorenporträt
The images for this book were gathered together from the archives of private collectors, historians, and the Montgomery County Historical Society. They document the transformation of the county from a few log cabins through the struggles and growth created by the railroad, which forever changed the landscape of the land, and the lives of the people in the farms, cities, and towns in Montgomery County. S. M. Senden is the former director of the Montgomery County Historical Society, a forensic artist, and a historian with a background in ancient archaeology.
