BOOK TRAILER
Description |
: |
Postcard images capture the transformation of the Pocono Mountains from secluded wilderness to vacation destination.
With the arrival of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad,
numerous stations throughout the Pocono region served those temporarily
fleeing the confines of city life. A multitude of boarding homes,
hotels, inns and resorts provided travelers with a wide variety of
accommodations and activities.
This work is a representation of the author’s 10 year endeavor to
collect postcards depicting the Pocono Mountains. The images illustrate
how the area’s tourism industry developed.
Readers are destined to enjoy a journey through time while rediscovering treasured memories from a bygone era.
