"Hampton" a photographic history book by co-authors Wythe Holt and Hampton History Museum Curator Mike Cobb has gone into a second printing and is still selling well. The book, one in the Images of America series, has sold more than 2,000 copies and "has really brought back memories of Old Hampton to people," Cobb said.
"I find in talking to people, their faces light up, and they just launch into stories that this book has evoked places, people that are gone," Cobb said. "Small book, but it's had a big impact."
Many of the images have not been previously published, for example, one photograph shows a horse-drawn wagon-load of young men and women in straw hats heading to the Buckroe Beach in 1895.
Proceeds of book sales benefit the Hampton History Museum. The book, selling at $20, is available in the museum gift shop. For more information call the gift shop at 727-6824."

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. According to its citizens, Hampton, Virginia, is the oldest continuously inhabited English-speaking city on the continent. It replaced Kecoughtan, an important Native American settlement. The English established a thriving tobacco port, a planned town centered on the intersection of King and Queen Streets. The British bombarded the town during the Revolutionary War and pillaged it during the War of 1812. Because of the continued Union occupation of Fort Monroe, Confederate troops burnt the town in 1861 during the Civil War. Rebuilding after 1865 was stimulated by the astonishing national success of the local crab and oyster industries. Early images portray Hamptonians on dusty streets with horse-drawn wagons and merchants in front of often ramshackle storefronts. Later photographs show imposing banks and a huge oyster pile dominating Crabtown as the first automobiles, electricity, and trolley cars appeared. Hampton s modern heyday of a working waterfront and busy streets, as shown on the cover, springs to life in these images."
