New book by Nancy Bosenberg Karrick offers lavish pictorialoverview of the charms, history of the town of Atmore, AlabamaMontgomery, Ala.: A research project that began for Nancy Bosenberg Karrick in 1986, while living in Belgium, comes to fruition this month with the release of Memories of Main Street: Atmore, Alabama - A Special Place Remembered in Words and Pictures, produced by NewSouth, Inc. The project which began with a few old snapshots saved in a scrapbook was expanded over the decades. Research was done, interviews arranged, and additional photos taken, which come together in a gorgeous new hardcover book showcasing the unique history and special character of the place where Karrick was born and raised and lived most of her life.Memories of Main Street is a fond recollection of the people who walked the sidewalks in downtown Atmore and shopped the businesses that operated there going back to the period of the town’s founding. It’s a street-by-street history of the place - of timber, turpentine, and cotton - recounted by a loving daughter. Karrick intended the book to be an informative guidebook, but what emerges on its pages is much, much more. It’s a vibrant portrait of small-town life in a Deep South state, the first of its kind about Atmore.Nancy Karrick was a co-researcher with her husband Charles on the writing of his history of The Bank of Atmore. This is her first published book.
