DUST JACKET TESTIMONIALS
Austin, Texas-Then and Now

"…this book will cost you that most precious commodity -- time. Once you start comparing old photos with scenes you recognize, it's hard to put down." Mike Cox, Austin American-Statesman

"I love this book. Even though my family roots in the Austin area go back six generations to 1843, I find myself thumbing through its pages to pick up more perspective and inspiration." Will Wynn, Mayor of Austin

"When the City Council was asked to select items to be placed in a time capsule at the new City Hall, I could think of no greater gift to future generations than a copy of Austin, Texas: Then and Now. This unique book with pictures of selected areas in the past and present will beg to be updated a 100 years from now when the capsule is opened. Kudos to Dr. Kerr for this Austin treasure. " Betty Dunkerley, Austin City Council

"This book addresses the early contributions of social and cultural history in East Austin. However, Dr. Kerr did not re-write history, but added to it by promoting the pioneer History of East Austin for our children and for generations to come." Ernestine L. Thompson, Jacob Fontaine Religious Museum

"Jeffrey Kerr is a medical doctor, a photographer, and an electrical engineer. Thank heaven, he has also always been a historian. If you love Austin or would like to know it better, this handsome book, with its voluminous research and wise photography, is the gift to give yourself! You'll discover things you never knew you didn't know!" Sue Brandt McBee, Historic Preservationist, Austin

"Side by side (this book presents) the Austin of my childhood and before, with the Austin of today and tomorrow. As our community draws its strength from the diversity of our neighbors and the blend of old and new, so the pages of this volume beautifully reflect the diverse sites of this unique place." Lloyd Doggett, U.S. Congress

"As the first woman mayor of Austin, I found Jeffrey Kerr's words and pictures a compelling history of our Capital city. It is a remarkable look at a remarkable city, and Jeff's analysis, research, and keen eye have produced a memorable and important record of our past and present for future generations of Austinites and Texans to enjoy." Carole Keeton Strayhorn, Texas Comptroller
