Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for Struthers Revisited

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Oct. 13, 2015 - PRLog -- Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for Struthers Revisited

Local author, Patricia Ringos Beach, will be available to sign copies of book

What more is there to say about Struthers that was not said in Images of America: Struthers, published in 2008? It turns out there is plenty. Images of America: Struthers Revisited features the people and places that filled this northeastern Ohio town in the 1900s. Through the growth and decline of the steel industry, the town prospered and adapted. Children grew up, marriages occurred, and people died; however, as anyone affiliated with Struthers knows, they could not be buried in the “city without a cemetery.” This collection of images illustrates stories of accomplishment, struggle, and everyday life. Photographs of schools, churches, small grocery stores, businesses, eateries, parks, and playgrounds will transport readers to a time that is both familiar and historical. This walk down memory lane is for all ages. It is for those who reside in Struthers and those who used to live there and love to visit.

Highlights of Struthers Revisited include:

• Profits from this book will be used by the Struthers Historical Society to digitalize their extensive collection of photographs.
• Many of these pictures have not been widely viewed. Although many are from the Historical Society’s collection, others have been recently donated from Struthers residents.
• Pictures of “the birdbath” should bring back good memories for many Struthers residents.
• Not only the pictures of the long ago past but the pictures of the transformation from a steel only town to one of modern industry and environments are included in this volume. Some before and after pictures, almost time-lapse, photographs taken decades apart are interesting.
