Born of the Industrial Revolution, Easley started with a single rail line brought to the area by Robert Elliott Holcombe at the end of the Civil War along with his promise to build and donate the first depot. That single line expanded and cotton rolled in, spawning the textile industry prominent in small Southern towns. If it was industry that gave birth to Easley, it was its perfect location amidst the breathtaking beauty in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and a feeling more akin to family than community that gave the town life. Minutes from gorgeous mountain vistas and lakes, a few minutes more from larger cities, and a day's ride from the coast made Easley a perfect place to live, work, worship, and play year-round.

Easley, South Carolina
Looking for an uncritical celebration of urban renewal? Here it is! The author seems to blindly accept the University's claims that buildings it wants to get rid of are "blighted," or that poor people are being kicked out of Hyde Park to decrease crime, or that breaking up a single-family house into multiple units is per se bad.
Okay, I got the book for the pictures. But even the pictures disappoint. They're black and white and details are often hard to discern. And seeing old house after old house, with few notes on architecture, quickly gets boring. The book would have been better to include some of the details that truly give neighborhoods their character, like murals, signs, monuments, businesses, or anything that shows how the land is used, a la Camilo Jose Vergara. And there is very little about the present-day structure of Hyde Park. Not worth reading.
