Costco to Host Book Signing for Local Des Moines Author

MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - Sept. 9, 2013 - PRLog -- Consistently ranked as one of the top 10 cities in America to raise a family and own a business, Des Moines began as a frontier fort and pioneer village. It soon became a center for government, commerce, finance and insurance. The community has gone through many transformations over the years but still retains the character and quality that makes it an example to the nation.

Comparing out present to our past is how we understand our history. Arcadia’s Then & Now series makes such local comparisons available. Books in this series offer a special view of American life by placing historical images side by side with contemporary photographs.
