商品簡介
In this 11x9" collection of color photos for general readers, Dempster, a regional photographer, gazes with fondness at the neighborhoods of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. While the photographer's focus is on three historic districts--Downtown, the Old Courthouse and Warehouse District, and the Cathedral Historic District--the book also includes a section on the North End neighborhoods beyond the historic districts. In addition to architecture, parks, street scenes, and other sites of historical or architectural interest, small business owners, factory workers, and neighborhood houses of worship are also portrayed. The book includes a historical overview of Sioux Falls by Gary D. Olson, former professor of history at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, and is illustrated with sepia-toned historical photos. Author and photographer Dempster has served as a county commissioner and a South Dakota State Senator. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
