Forest Park, originally named Quick Station, was founded in 1846 as a refueling stop for the Macon and Western Railroad. It would later be known as Stump Town because of the stumps left behind when trees were cut to provide fuel for the passenger and freight trains traveling to and from Atlanta. This book provides glimpses of the individuals who created the foundation for Forest Park, what their contributions were to the city, when they resided in the city, and where they lived, worked, and played. It also explores the history of Forest Park's churches, schools, businesses, and transportation, in order to provide a more thorough understanding of how the city came to be. From humble beginnings as a railroad town, Forest Park was built by individuals who stood strong in the face of adversity and became the pillars of the community for the past 100 years.

Forest Park, Georgia (Images of America Series)
It was rather boring but I still like the pictures. It seemed like it was the same thing, page after page. I think it would have been nice if the definition of early Snohomish could have broadened to say, 1950. Perhaps images of how the town changed with the depression and WWII would have made it more interesting. Also, my complaint about these Images of America are always about the white people. I want to hear more about the tribes, even if there are not many pictures. I do want to give kudos to the author for mentioning the Chinese ppl though. Of the IoA books I've read, this is the first time I've heard them mentioned. But I still want to know more, even the stuff the ppl of these towns are embarrassed about today. The true image of America is not as one-sided as shown.
