Photographs are credited to the families who loaned them, making this an unusually rich visual record of Greene County material that was never published anywhere else — early market buildings, filling stations, log structures, a coverlet woven at a local wooden mill, and street scenes documented before demolition.The maps are a standout feature: fold-out-style plates showing early Beaver Creek settlement, road networks, and named property holdings, useful for genealogical and land research in Greene County.Committee members named in the volume include Mr. and Mrs. Robert R. Bramson, Kenneth J. Langhorst, Daniel T. Coy, Robert J. Duffy, Robert Doudy, Mary Pat Ennean, Marvin B. Lammers, William M. Lassen, Ron Meyer, Lois Paraley, James E. Powell, E. A. Wallis, and others.Condition: Good used condition. Pictorial brown wrappers with the photograph of an early log house on the front cover. Text block clean and complete, binding sound.
