History can be pretty boring to read. But, with this series of books history comes alive with the pictures! It's quite interesting to see real photographs of what life was like for our grandparents and great grandparents.

What a wonderful representation of over 150 years of Tyler history in pictures! Reed exhibits his extensive knowledge of the history of this east Texas town in the interesting stories told in his book. The photographs are absolutely marvelous and depict the times long gone. Anyone who has lived or visited Tyler, would enjoy this book! I bought extra copies to give as gifts for friends and family.

Thoroughly enjoyed the old images of my hometown - Tyler. Will enjoy showing this to my children and grandchildren.

If you're from Tyler, Texas, you HAVE to get this book! Loads of pictures and stories. A must have for all you Tyler Roses!

I grew up in Tyler, Texas, and recognize many of the places (and people) in the photographs of this book. The author did a great job of truly showing the history of this unique,east Texas town by using vintage and rare photos. For anyone with a family history in Tyler, this is a must-see book!

This is a wonderful book on the East Texas city which is the center of business and comfortable living for families. It's an ever growing area which showcases a number of beautiful flower shows each year: The Texas Rose Festival, the Azalea Trail and Gardens, the Hisotric Home Tours, the East Texas State Fair, among many other events throughout the year. It has number of beautiful historic districts which has many of it's original red brick streets. Tyler has a number of great colleges and huge medical centers which keeps growing. This book gives a great overall early history in photos of a progressive city thats located in the east texas piney woods.
