Description: The 50's Vol. 1: 1950-54 - Life in Dubuque as pictured in The Telegraph-Heraldby Mike DayHardcover, 11 1/4" x 8 3/4", 240 pages, new and in mint condition.Illustrated throughout with over 400 rare photographs. From the introduction:The 1950s are considered an idyllic time in America. The postwar economy prospered, suburbia sprang up and the Baby Boom was in full swing. In the Tri-States, the Telegraph Herald captured the spirit of the day with images of daily life and special events. In "The '50s Vol. 1: 1950-54," we relive those moments with photographs from our archives. Original captions are included, along with the dates of publication. The project entailed a search through thousands of staff photos published during the first half of the decade. Here are more than 400 of our favorites, those we felt best exemplified the era. They cover the spectrum, from joyous occasions like slumber parties and the city bicycle meets, to more worrisome topics, like polio and the Red Scare. We would be remiss if we didn't thank the photographers and librarians who so diligently catalogued the photo negatives decades ago, awaiting the day when they again could showcase our city's history. Join us on a local journey through the years. The 50's Vol. 2: 1955-59 - Life in Dubuque as pictured in The Telegraph-Heraldby Mike DayHardcover, 11 1/4" x 8 3/4", 240 pages, new and in mint condition.Illustrated throughout with over 400 rare photographs. From the introduction:For many older Baby Boomers and younger members of The Greatest Generation, the late 1950s were truly "Happy Days." It was a time of Ike and Elvis, of tail-fins and drive-ins, of pompadours and poodle skirts. Dubuquers enjoyed a bounty of Americana, right down to the Hula Hoops and coonskin caps. They hosted their own group of Beatniks, were fascinated by Sputnik, and celebrated the statehood of Alaska and Hawaii. We're honored to resurrect the history logged in the pages of the Telegraph Herald. Photographs can rekindle memories held close to our hearts, and offer younger generations a glimpse into yesteryear. Enjoy the trip.
