In addition to Mocksville scenes, there are a few pictures of other locales in Davie County. You may pre-order. Book Description:Old photographs offer subjective and evocative evidence of the way we lived and worked in years past. Images of America: Mocksville shares the photographic story of the development of the town of Mocksville and its people to the mid-1900s. Named the seat of newly created Davie County in 1839, the town of Mocksville, originally known as Mocks Old Field, existed as early as the Revolutionary War. Photographs support documentary evidence of various trades as well as agricultural pursuits. Not all buildings or homes survive a town's growth, and Mocksville provides evidence of the passing parade of homes that did not survive. History comes alive as we rediscover and share old photographs and contemplate what they divulge of past times and lives. Author Bio:Jane Satchell McAllister serves as librarian in the Martin-Wall Local History Room in the Davie County Public Library. Debra Leigh Dotson volunteers in the history room, organizing and digitizing historical photographs, documents, and artifacts in the collection. Photographs in this book derive from the collections of the library and Davie County residents. Looking Back at Davie County in the 1950s and 1960s by Charles R. Crenshaw and Ronnie L. Smith. 304 pages with 700 photographs, size 9" by 11.75". Paperback with French flaps. Cost $38.00, tax included. Add $4 for mailing. Available early November at R & J Sports and Foster’s Drug. This is a nostalgic look at growing up in Davie County in the 1950s and 1960s through the photography of Gray Smith.
