Author Bio
Today all that remains of Hartford's streetcars are the photographs taken by Horace Bromley and other photographers who diligently recorded the cars and those who operated them. Bromley donated his extensive collection to the Connecticut Motor Coach Museum prior to his death in 1990. Three members of the Connecticut Motor Coach Museum-Nancy Johanson, Bert Johanson, and John Sullivan-compiled this book to perpetuate Bromley's ideals of preserving and sharing history.
