Infos

Puerto Rico Remembered features 175 color photographs, many never before published, that show the Puerto Rico of the past--before the cruise ships began to dock in its ports and the tourists began to flock to its resorts. From young men selling fruit from curbside stalls to families shopping on busy streets to other scenes set against a backdrop of palm trees and bright sunshine, the photos in Puerto Rico Remembered are snapshots of the everyday that bring readers back to a simpler time. Blending memories with historical facts, Puerto Rico Remembered highlights the sights and sounds of the city that have been swept away by wrecking balls, modernization, and time--but will never be forgotten.
