The History Press brings a new way of thinking to history publishing—preserving and enriching community by encouraging histor ... y enthusiasts to write local stories, for local audiences, as only a local can. Infused with local color, titles published by The History Press showcase a community's character through story and picture.

Our books are highly readable, often brief and aimed at a general readership. read more
