Westfield Volume II

Westfield Volume II covers the history of the city from
the mid-nineteenth century through the late twentieth
century, and highlights the accomplishments of its
citizens. Locally famous Westfield residents like Joseph
Buell Ely and Herbert W. Kittredge are spotlighted,
as well as less well-known but equally significant
contributors to the civic and social history of the
city. The development of the city's infrastructure is
chronicled, and important events in the community's
development are illustrated.
Many images in this volume were submitted by
present and former residents of Westfield in response
to the authors' request for vintage images. In poring
through these vast submissions, authors Cramer
and Ackerman have produced a second book that is
destined to bring back memories and enliven interest in
Westfield's fascinating past.
