This book provides an easy-to-read, excellent overview of early Johnstown, NY history. The format of the book consists of many photos with three to four sentences describing the signifigance of each photo.

As a twenty-five year Johnstown resident, it was fascinating to see and read about the origins of the historical buildings and sites of the city.

While the descriptions of the photos tell you what the buildings or sites are today, few pictures from the last ten to fifteen years are contained in the book. This is the one downfall of the book.

Overall, the book allows you to obtain a quick and consise history of the city. It's an enjoyable book for any area resident to read.
