Yorktown is one of the northernmost towns in Westchester County. This volume of vintage postcards draws from a time when the railroad was a predominant fixture in the community and travelers flocked to summer hotels and lakeside bungalow colonies. Often thought of as ephemera, something to be used and thrown away, postcard images have proven over time to be a valuable document of a time and place. For those who were visitors and those who received postcards, these striking images capture the past in terms of Yorktowns architecture, entertainment, commerce, and community.Cooper, Linda G. is the author of 'Yorktown, New York (Postcard History Series)', published 2008 under ISBN 9780738555270 and ISBN 0738555274.
