"Who We Were" Launch Party
The Book Cellar, Saturday, December 6, 2008 at 5:30pm
RICHARD CAHAN signs Who We Were: A Snapshot History of America.; NICHOLAS OSBORN signs Who We Were: A Snapshot History of America.; MICHAEL WILLIAMS signs Who We Were: A Snapshot History of America.
Come to the Book Cellar for a LAUNCH PARTY to celebrate the publication of the new nonfiction photo book, Who We Were: A Snapshot History of America. Richard Cahan, Michael Williams, and Nicholas Osborn will be here sharing their book and signing copies. Since the first snapshots were taken in 1888, Americans have used simple, inexpensive cameras to record their life stories. In the process, they have left behind millions of snapshots that document the story of America. Now, for the first time, these personal photographs have been gathered together to tell the nation's history. From sod houses in South Dakota to the skyscrapers of New York City, these personal photographs form the first people's photo history of America. The snapshots capture nearly a century of American life-telling our story through our own eyes. The Wright Brothers, the World Wars, Woodstock. They are all here, creating a crazy quilt of steamships and biplanes, migrants and flappers, seal clubbers and suffragettes. This is who we were and who we are. (bookjones)… (more)
