Houston 175 by Mike Tolson

Submitted by Jennifer N [1] on Mon, 04/30/2012 - 1:53pm

It's rare to see me reading something other than horror but I found myself falling deeply in love with Houston 175 [2] by Mike Tolson. Houston 175 [2] takes you through the 175 year history of our very own Houston, Texas. Houston 175 [2] features over 300 stunning photos from Houston area archives and photographers.

As a Houstonian, Houston 175 [2] is a must read, if not must buy. There were some facts that I didn't know and it was great to learn more about the city I love. I hope you take a chance and read it. It is absolutely stellar!
