Author Bio
Carole A. King and Karren I. Pell chose images from the collections of Landmarks Foundation, the Montgomery County Historical Society, and individuals; many photographs are seen here for the first time. King is a museum curator and preservationist, and Pell is a writer and teacher. The authors' quest for photographs led to old trunks, dusty bookcases, and forgotten scrapbooks. These adventures resulted in a visual journey to the places Montgomerians have called home.
