McKees Rocks and Stowe Township (Images of America)

Bought as a gift for my brother who has lived in this area all of his life. I rummaged through this book, and I know he will be absolutely so thankful for reliving history of his hometown.

McKees Rocks was the town in Pa. where my mom had her beauty shop for50 years. I am familiar with many of the names in the book and much o f the history.There is a picture in the book of Mom's shop at its first location on Chartiers Ave.McKees Rocks is a unique little industrial town typical of Western Pa.So many memories like the Chartiers Creek flooding each year.The 2nd location of Mom's shop was further up on Chartiers-only a fire stopped her fromworking at Tillie's Beauty Shoppe-she was in her 80's by then,.The book is a piece of history that resonates with me and my family.Audrey Code

lots and lots of old time pictures of the area

This book "McKees Rocks and Stowe Township - Images of America" is a valuable source of historical events and past archives like the McKees Rocks Bridge under construction and The 1936 Pittsburgh Flood. This book has a lot of old photographs and printing relating to the photos describing everything in full detail. I just love this book.

It is just great we have such a talent as Bernadette Sulzer Agreen, to publish a thorough History of my hometown. I hope they keep it in stock, it brings back so many memories.I'm sure more of, from my old neighborhood, would love this book.

Plenty of good pictures and commentary; with an index of names, I would give it a five.

This book has lots of history. There are lots of pictures of local residents and businesses. One is and old photo of my great-grandparents and some of their 14 children, including my 97 year old grandmother. So naturally we had to have the book and it is sold out locally.

I read this book to help me understand more about the town my grandfather the up in during 1900-1935. I found it fascinating and plan to visit McKees Rocks soon.
