Volume Two of Historic CiTniden
Among the things of genial interest
to Camdenites during the holidays
was the appearance of the second
volume of Historic Camden which is
one of tho most complete histories of
its kind known. Messrs. Kennedy and
Kirkland do not give us merely facts
and dates but the manners and
customs of the people beginning with
Camden as a village until the homes
we are living in and have been able
to let us feel the atmosphere of the
place as perhaps no others could.
These gentlemen, born and reared in
Camden and knowing and living every
part of her have given her their best.
It is not cut and dried history we are
reading but delightful talks of our
own .people and our own home town
and we, their descendants, should give
this work our unstinted praise. The
whole state is benefitted by this delightful
book. Only through the
Volume One could the wonderful
pageant of 1926 have been made possible.
*i It was a marvelous illustration
of Historic Camden which has
been-so graphically told by our fellow
townsmen. They are to be congratulated.
