I found this book to be fascinating and a breath of fresh air from the usual "archive" authoring that comes from such books. I only wished there were more pages. Numerous friends who are natives to the city have found antique photos of relatives they never knew existed. Certainly worth the money just to see the real history of a city and the real people - not the politicians and patricians- that made Knoxville. Good read!

You won't have any trouble finding just one or two photographs in this book that will make it worth the cost of purchase alone. This is the most economic concise source of good early Knoxville photographs available. If you would like to get a glimpse of Knoxville of your youth, or much earlier, then this one is for you!

This is one of the best books ever printed on Knoxville, TN and worth every penny for the rare photographs of early life in the city. Mr. Hooper has done an excellent job in bringing history back to the masses and made it fun to read. Anyone who has ever lived, worked or was born in the city will love this book.
