Aprašymas
From the time it was separated from Providence in 1759, Johnston has grown from a sleepy, rural town to a busy urban center with more than 30,000 residents and a diversified economy. Much of this growth took place between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, and it is this period that Louis McGowan and the Johnston Historical Society chronicle in this delightful book. McGowan and the historical society have assembled more than 200 wonderful images from their archives and the private collections of many Johnston residents. The result is a multi-faceted portrait of the town's citizens, landmarks, and historical figures. Some of the famous figures discussed include Charles Fletcher, who built or managed the three largest textile mills in Johnston; the Reverend Samuel Winsor, founder of the Six Principle Baptist congregation; James F. Simmons, the sole U.S. Senator from the town, who was forced to resign his position in disgrace; and Zenas R. Bliss, winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor and a distinguished U.S. Army officer.
