    About this ebook

    By the late nineteenth century, the city of Raleigh-Durham was a vibrant cultural center of the East. Through changing fortunes, Raleigh-Durham has continued to grow and prosper by overcoming adversity and maintaining the strong, independent culture of its citizens. Historic Photos of Raleigh-Durham captures this journey through still photography selected from the finest archives. From the first tobacco factory to the retail district along Fayetteville Street, the construction of Duke University to the opening of Camp Butner, Historic Photos of Raleigh-Durham follows life, government, education, and events throughout the city’s history. This volume captures unique and rare scenes through the lens of hundreds of historic photographs. Published in striking black and white, these images communicate historic events and everyday life of two centuries of people building a unique and prosperous city.
