I am sending you this so you won't forget Pontiac. This is the sentiment inscribed on one of the postcards included in this collection. Pontiac, Michigan: A Postcard Album brings to life the history of this uniquely American city. The postcard has always been a very popular means of communication, and now as a historical document, it offers us a fascinating insight into the times and places of the past. Like many cities, Pontiac has passed through many phases, from agricultural center to auto manufacturer—through good times and bad. These postcards capture the people and places of Pontiac, and remind us of the courageous people who built this country.
