At the centennial of its founding by General Anthony Wayne in 1794, the
city of Fort Wayne could boast prosperity and rapid growth as a leading
industrial center of the Midwest. By the start of World War I, it had become
the second largest city in Indiana.
The images collected here offer a comprehensive look into the history of
this remarkable city. From the Wabash & Erie Canal at Summit City to the
Nickel Plate Railroad, from the Johnny Appleseed marker in Swinney Park
to the International Harvester truck plant, and from the Aveline Hotel to the
Lincoln Bank Tower, Historic Photos of Fort Wayne captures unique and
rare scenes of Fort Wayne through the lens of hundreds of historic
photographs.

Published in striking black and white, these images communicate the
historic events and everyday life of two centuries of people building a
unique metropolis. Historic Photos of Fort Wayne is sure to captivate
anyone curious about the citys past, from the student of history to the local
history buff.
Personal Review: Historic Photos of Fort Wayne by Scott M.
Bushnell
Update: 7 months later - Grandmother still has this book close at hand I
noticed on a recent visit!
I purchased this book for my grandmother who grew up in Fort Wayne in
the 30s and 40s. I think she will be thrilled. Plenty of large pictures and
good descriptions.
I think a good accessory to a book like this would be a map to visualize
where the places and neighborhoods in the pictures are located. A future
edition could include more modern pictures to show the current state of
things.
I think in our rush to modernize our country we've left behind alot of good
ideas. Streetcars is a good example. Downtown shopping is another. I'm
not a fan of malls.
