Few cities have changed as radically as Plano—from pioneer outpost to small rural town, to sprawling suburb, to the ninth-largest city in Texas. In this book, authors Mary Jacobs, Cheryl Smith, and Jeff Campbell trace the transformation with new images by photographer Jennifer Shertzer. Meet Plano’s early settlers, get glimpses of life in small-town Plano, and witness Plano’s emergence as a major employment center and a thriving multicultural community. Comparing our present to our past is how we understand our history. Arcadia’s Past & Present series makes such local comparisons available. Books in this series offer a special view of American life by placing historical images side by side with contemporary photographs
