5.0 out of 5 stars
A gem!,
By Phyllida Howe "choicelady" (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Buffalo's Pan-American Exposition (Images of America) (Paperback)
This is not only one of the best of the Images of America series, it is itself a small gem. It compresses information about both the Pan-Am and turn-of-the-century US history into very few words coupled with superb pictures. With incredible economy, the authors lead us through a rapidly changing American landscape of social mores, values, and politics in which the Pan-Am is played out as a representative image of all that is good and bad in the country. I learned so much about women, minorities, the rise of a consumer society, colonialism, class and power, architecture, and engineering - and just plain fun as it was known in a world before TV. What a great introduction to the modern era in US history! Wow!

A Good Snapshot of a Bygone Time,

This review is from: Buffalo's Pan-American Exposition (Images of America) (Paperback)
Having lived in Buffalo years ago, I always wanted to know more about this fabled exposition of yore. This collection of rare photos of the building of the various exhibits & the opened fair itself is a treat! Only flaw is that many of the captions are for architecture aficionados only.
