Cities are evolving entities, and as pushcarts became vans and horse-drawn streetcars became mechanized, so the streetscape and its buildings and landmarks and accesses changed. In the process there were victories and losses, progress and great leadership that already is shaping the Hartford of tomorrow. Lost Hartford is a magical look at Hartford and its evolution from the eighteenth century to today. It contains early landmarks, such as the Old State House, which still survives. It offers some never-before-published views of Main, Trumbull, and Pratt Streets, to name a few. It shares recent triumphs, such as the joining to the Connecticut River by Riverfront Recapture and the creation of the learning corridor by Trinity College.

In 1854, West Hartford formally separated from Hartford. West Hartford, compiled in honor of the town's sesquicentennial, showcases its history from earliest settlement to more recent happenings, including the 2003 Cow Parade. With more than two hundred photographs, many previously unpublished, West Hartford recalls the past of this interesting community and celebrates its present. The Central Theater marquee survives, while Burnham's grocery, the Elm Theater, and the West Hartford Lanes, all pictured in these pages, are only memories. Other landmarks, such as the Quaker Lane Diner, the Woman's Exchange, Hall's Market, and the Kingswood Market, continue to serve the community.

This third volume of Hartford continues the celebration and remembrance of Connecticut’s capital that was started with Wilson H. Faude’s first two highly successful volumes on the history of the city. This new volume features the hitherto unavailable collection of the city’s evening newspaper, the Hartford Times. This third trip into Hartford’s past takes us into the lives and celebrations of the city’s residents. The fascinating images bring us into Hartford’s unique celebrations, including Discovery Day and the Tobacco Festival. We also get a glimpse of how the city’s residents interpreted traditional holidays, with photographs depicting St. Patrick’s Day revelry and shoppers braving holiday retail madness. As you peruse the pages, remember the Times Carol Sing and the Times Camp; remember when presidential hopefuls spoke from the city’s portico, vying for Hartford’s support. It is all here in Arcadia Publishing’s third volume of Hartford.

"Buildings and sites frequented by great men of the past often are more inspiring and evocative than their deeds or written annals." (Cicero.) This fine book of the restoration of Mark Twain Memorial takes the reader directly into Mark Twain's home in Hartford. As inspired, enlightened or amused as one might be by Mark Twain's writing, he cannot help discovering more of the man in this charming and informative book.Delightfully, the book manages to be at once an historical account, a handbook for the restoration process, and a new intimate look at the man Mark Twain through his surroundings and the events that occurred during the family's residency in Hartford. The ambience is as real for the reader as it was for Mark Twain himself who said. "To us our house was not unsentient matter. . .it had a heart, and a soul, and eyes to see us with. . . we could not enter it unmoved." Nor shall the reader.This book provides not merely a visit to the Mark Twain home. It is rather like being a house guest of the Mark Twain family.

Since the development of photography in the mid-nineteenth century, the camera has been used as a tool of both discovery and preservation. Photographs bring alive our image of the past and can open a floodgate of memories and nostalgia or inspire curiosity and a sense of history. This intriguing visual history contains over two hundred photographs, all from private collections, of Connecticut's capital. These rare and previously unpublished views tell of Hartford's rich history--the Bushnell Memorial, the state capitol without its dome, and the great post office that filled the east lawn of the Old State House. They also tell of favorite places, such as De Pasquale's and Pippi's on Front Street and the Parma and the movie theaters and stores that filled Main Street. The photographs reveal a great deal about change and the energy and vision that has made Hartford the diverse and dynamic community it is today.
