Residents of Melrose greeted the publication of a
photographic history of their city with tremendous
enthusiasm. For the first time, significant people and events in the city's past were celebrated in a vivid record available to all. Anthony Pagano, the author of that volume, has created a marvelous sequel about the city's history that incorporates
many important images only recently discovered. Melrose Volume II covers the history of the city through images of its churches, schools, civic events, and well-known residents. From artifacts of the settlement of the community in the seventeenth century to more modern scenes from the mid-twentieth century, Mr. Pagano presents a comprehensive look at the development of Melrose.
