America Through Time

America Through Time We publish local and national history, aviation, railroad, urbex and abandoned places photography books.

Our history and heritage inform us about who we are today. America Through Timeยฎ captures a strong sense of the past while demonstrating the force of change through the passage of years. The use of modern photographs in color juxtaposed with old images ignites the imagination of young and old alike. For older residents it is a small story of time gone by. For younger residents and childrenโ€”a fasci

nating window into the past. To submit a proposal for the America Through Timeยฎ please get in touch via our Contact page. We also accept submissions from authors on other local history subjects and are not restricted solely to rigid series.

Beyond the bustling eateries and crowded streets, New York Cityโ€™s Chinatownsโ€”from the industrial, Fuzhounese enclave of Brooklyn's Sunset Park to the dynamic, multilingual hub of Flushing, Queensโ€”are living, breathing communities in constant motion. This book looks past the surface to explore these neighborhoods as vibrant tapestries of Chinese culture, revealing the deep resilience of immigrants and the profound ways their search for belonging transforms the city.

Celebrated for its iconic boardwalk and vibrant โ€œDoo Wopโ€ architecture, this unforgettable stretch of barrier island offers far more than sun, sand, and nostalgia. In this visually striking book, acclaimed photographer Xiomรกro captures the Wildwoods like youโ€™ve never seen beforeโ€”revealing a bold, eclectic world where retro charm meets modern edge.

From dazzling custom cars and colorful street culture to unapologetic patriotism and artistic selfโ€‘expression, the Wildwoods pulse with a unique energy that sets them apart from any other seaside resort. And when the crowds fade, the quiet off-season unveils a completely different sideโ€”raw, reflective, and deeply atmospheric.

Featuring the work of an internationally exhibited photographer whose work has been showcased by The New York Times, PBS, and major networks, this book is both a stunning visual journey and a compelling portrait of a truly one-of-a-kind American destination.

North Carolina Potteries Through Time proves to readers that his assessment is correct. Prehistoric Native American potters first made pottery in the region, followed by eighteenth-century English and German settlers.

Many generations of potters followed in their footsteps, and today hundreds of potters and ceramics artists turn out ware in every part of the state. In the town of Seagrove, there's a whole museum and educational center dedicated to North Carolina pottery production.

Many private and public collections exist. Buyers seek it out at auctions, antique shops, kiln openings, festivals, and studio sales. This book is chock-full of images representing all periods and styles of pottery made in the state, including many published for the first time.

Readers new to the topic, as well as expert collectors, historians, and potters will find satisfaction in this richly illustrated and descriptively written volume.

๐Ÿ’ฅ : "ABANDONED SOUTHERN MICHIGAN: SKELETONS OF INDUSTRY" by Bryce Rickman is a must-read.

This book seeks to serve as a collection of photos of abandoned and decaying buildings that litter the towns and cities of Southern Michigan, from a massive abandoned paper mill near Kalamazoo to the skeletal remains of the once thriving industries of Detroit, and an amalgam of now abandoned amusement parks, roadside attractions, and factories in between, from Adrian to Saginaw.

These pictures aim to express the sense of wonder and the eerie undertone that comes with exploring places stuck in time, whether they have been widely reclaimed by nature, are simply left to decay and crumble, or are destined to be restored by a caretaker of history.

These places stand just as they were the day they were forgotten. Glimpse inside of monoliths on a vicarious excursion through an exercise of empathy. There is beauty in broken glass, comfort in the quiet stillness of liminal spaces, and history in the skeletons of concrete.

At its height, the region was served by over twenty railway lines and hundreds of depots, connecting rural communities to major lake ports. With the rise of the automobile, many lines declined or disappeared, and much of this infrastructure was lost. Today, remnants such as abandoned depots and rail corridors remain, offering a glimpse into the regionโ€™s rich railway heritage.

Casey Fredette takes you to the graveyards and burial places of one of Florida's final untapped areas, the Forgotten Coastline. This last expanse of Old Florida is standing strong against the possibly inevitable modernization of Floridaโ€™s Forgotten Coastline.

Stretching from St. Markโ€™s to Mexico Beach, the communities within the coast share a long and history-rich past. Exploring the graveyards, cemeteries, and other burial places across this region offers a blueprint to the areaโ€™s many changes through the years. The markers and graves that fill the burying yards are put to the test, having to fight not only against time but the brutal Florida heat, sun, and weather.

Fantastic sculptures, handmade markers, and even paper can be observed in these cemeteries. Hurricanes, wars, disease outbreaks, and transformation of the area itself have all come at a human cost, a cost that the Forgotten Coastline doesnโ€™t forget.

This book combines photographs and real-life stories to take the reader into the background of those buried along the Forgotten Coastline and how they helped shape what is there today and its future.

When we see abandoned buildings, itโ€™s our natural instinct to wonder why they have been left behind to the intense elements of North Dakota.
Come along with author Katherine Rose Bingham down a dirt road to see the workmanship of the past. Walk into a room and discover layers of wallpaper, the years peeling away one at a time. Drive by an old barn and look inside to see a treasured old vehicle left covered in dust.

Observe a steeple towering over the trees, the cooing of pigeons the only noise coming from the choir loft. Katherine Rose Bingham moved to a North Dakota farm in 2014. The farm had been in her husbandโ€™s family since 1938. She has always believed she was born in the wrong era, and these old pieces of history hold a fascination and wonderment for her.

Katherine finds joy in capturing a town that was once a booming oil field, seeing the hills divided where a train once trudged, and trying to preserve what once was in these vastly changing times.
