Autorenporträt
Necia P. Seamons moved to Preston in 1993 to become the editor of the local newspaper, the Preston Citizen, and discovered worldwide ties to the people in this little Utah/Idaho border town. "It seems that Preston has a history of sending people out in the world who do good," she said. Living nearby in Whitney, Idaho, with her family on a little farm, Seamons inherited most of the images in this book from the descendants of another local historian, Newell Hart. She also used images from collections belonging to Jay Burrup, Kathy Griffin, Bill Owens, That Famous Preston Night Rodeo Committee, and Myrna Fuller at the local history center at the Larsen-Sant Library.
