I received an email from a publishing company in Nashville, Tennessee. They were contacting local blogs in the Colorado Springs area and wanted to send us a book of Historic Photos of Colorado Springs. All they wanted in return was a post/review on our blog. We received the book this week and it is a 200 page book of black and white historic photos and captions. The text and captions were written by Sharon Swint of Colorado Springs.
We enjoyed looking through this book and seeing all the old photos of Colorado Springs. There are pictures and stories of the pioneers that help make Colorado Springs what it is. It was neat looking at some of the old photographs of schools, buildings and other places we pass by on a daily basis.
The book has taught us alot about the city we live in. It will be nice to share with family and friends when they stop over. I wish some of the old buildings pictured in the book were still up and running. It's a shame they had to tear so many of them down. The book helped me realize what a great place Colorado Springs was and still is.
If anyone would like more information about the book you can go to www.turnerpublishing.com
Thanks to Turner Publishing for contacting us and sending us this book.
