Chapters in the book include the courthouse square, schools, churches, leisure activities, industries and other subjects. Most images in the book predate 1940. The earliest photograph used was a carte-de-viste of George Rader, first merchant to arrive in Carthage after the Civil War. Other early views include stereograph images of the square and Carthage's first library from the 1870s.
