James C. Anderson, curator of the Photographic Archives at the University of Louisville, and historian Donna M. Neary trace Louisville’s early 20th century through vintage photographs, postcards, and portraits.
From the Ohio River’s role as the city’s economic lifeline to the German, Irish, and French immigrant communities that shaped it, and famous names from William Clark to Muhammad Ali, the book captures a city straddling Midwest and South.
It’s a candid, image-driven introduction to how Louisville grew into the business and industrial center of Kentucky.
