马克和丽贝卡·斯宾塞将出版关于蒙蒂塞洛的书
On July 24, 2023, the book “蒙蒂塞洛,” by Mark and Rebecca Spencer, will be released by Arcadia Publishing as part of their Past and Present Series. Mark Spencer is associate vice chancellor for Program Development, Assessment and Distance Learning at the University of Arkansas at 蒙蒂塞洛 and an award-winning author. He co-authored “蒙蒂塞洛” with his wife, award-winning photographer Rebecca Spencer, who took the contemporary photos for the book.
The publisher describes the book “蒙蒂塞洛” as showcasing changes in the local architecture of the town of 蒙蒂塞洛, Arkansas, revealing its unique history by “placing historical images side by side with contemporary photographs.” The book focuses on five main areas of development— schools, commerce, worship, community and private homes—that reveal the town’s distinctive character as well as local and national historical importance. 正规赌博平台的历史和影响在书中有很大的特色。
In the introduction, Mark Spencer writes, “The juxtaposition of the past with the present provides us with the compelling experience of seeing what remains unchanged over decades, what is no more, and what has been transfigured. A majestic Victorian mansion dominates its surroundings as it has for 117 years. A French castle out of a fairy tale has vanished. A vacant field with a cluster of stubby trees is now a vast shopping center.”
He writes that 蒙蒂塞洛 “has its roots in a village settled in 1836 known as Rough and Ready Hill, a chaotic community of personal feuds leading to brawls and killings. Established [near] the seat of Drew County in 1849, 蒙蒂塞洛 derived its name from the desire of its founders to find civility, culture, and elegance—as reminiscent of the Virginia home of Thomas Jefferson.”
Mark and Rebecca Spencer hope that readers come away with a deep appreciation for the beauty of the town, its people and history.
The Spencers will host a book signing at their home, The Allen House, 705 North Main St., 蒙蒂塞洛, on Saturday, July 29, 2023, from 2-4 p.m.
