Local history books tend to document those who “built the city,” laid the roads, brought in the railroads, platted the parks and bravely launched a small-town economy. They’re illustrated with black and white photos of city people in Victorian clothes, standing stiffly in front of wooden buildings. Or dusty pioneers proudly posing by a felled pine tree. Or trolley cars rolling down dirt streets.
Vintage St. Pete & Pinellas Volume 3 is not that.
