- Summary:
- Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the Old City Point-Hopewell area has triumphantly reemerged from near-extinction three times in its fascinating 370-year history. This indomitable community was in shambles after Union occupation- and healed its wounds. It burned to the ground in the 1917 fire- but would not die. Left nearly a ghost town after World War I- it came back stronger than ever! Now, in over 300 photographs, many of them rare, previously unpublished views, the authors bring to life the triumphant heritage of Old City Point and Hopewell. -- Dust Jacket.
