This is one of Arcadia Publishing's books. They are photo histories of various sites, cities, and neighborhoods. There must be 5 or 6 of them focused on places in and around Atlanta. I find them very useful. I noted the other day that there is now one on the Cincinnati zoo. It has a photo of the ex-RBBB-SF sea elephant Colossus.

Another Arcadia book deals with the building of Miami Beach. One of the developers was Carl Fisher, and he used his big Asian elephant Rosie for promotion. There are a number photos of her helping with the construction and pulling a big cart for visitors.

Markhardt's book on Jungleland is woefully inaccurate, aside from mis-captioning two photos of me as another performer. Many of his details show superficial research, when there are a number of us still around who could have authenticated the history. For one glaring instance, he states that the Polish woman trainer, Ada, had apprenticed under Mabel Stark, when I bear witness to the fact that the two women never once exchanged "Good morning". I certainly hope Arcadia's other offerings reflect more mature and diligent research toward accuracy.
