ReviewsTitle: Superior and South Superior Featured in New Book Publisher: Arcadia Publishing Date: 6/13/2011 New from Arcadia Publishing's Images of America series is Superior and South Superior. In vintage photographs, local author Frank Prevedel and the Sweetwater County Historical Museum share the history of the area. The book boasts more than 200 vintage images giving readers a unique opportunity to reconnect to the history that shaped their community. Superior and South Superior, established early in the 20th century, were unique individually but fully dependent upon each other. Superior, the company town, was nearly entirely owned by the Union Pacific Coal Company which created the bulk of jobs in the communities. South Superior was privately owned and as a result most of the commercial business in town was located there. When the Union Pacific Railroad began switching from steam power for its locomotives to diesel power, the market for coal disappeared. The classic western pattern for ghost town creation was set. But though Superior disappeared, South Superior, while badly hurt economically, survived. It took the Superior name and was able to look forward to a diminished but stable and hopeful future. Highlights of Superior and South Superior include: ? Finding and Producing the Wealth from Beneath ? Looking Around ? They Came from Afar ? Life in Horse Thief Canyon ? Almost a Death Knell ? Survival and Awakening Available at area bookstores, independent retailers, and online retailers, or through Arcadia Publishing at (888)-313-2665 or www.arcadiapublishing.com.
