In this volume of carefully selected postcards that were printed in the first half of the twentieth century, author and postcard collector Elena Irish Zimmerman highlights some of Chattanooga's most memorable historic treasures, including numerous local businesses, homes, parks, and memorials, as well as famed Lookout and Signal Mountains.
