About the Author

This is Carole King and Karren Pell's first book for The History Press. Their previous three for Arcadia Publishing-Montgomery's Historic Neighborhood, Montgomery Then and Now and Modern Images Montgomery-remain popular. Carole has been the historic properties curator for Landmarks Foundation, managing the collection at Old Alabama Town in Montgomery for thirty years. Karren's bi-monthly live show, The Old Alabama Town Revue, features original songs, and an original monologue called Planet Karren is in its twelfth season. Carole and Karren hope that current residents of Montgomery enjoy learning about their history and that the books also inspire increased interest and investment in historic properties.
