In honor of the city's sesquicentennial celebration in 2002, author Ron Chepesiuk has woven together vintage photographs with informative text to commemorate the rich history surrounding the city. With a foreword by South Carolina Governor Jim Hodges, letters from both Winthrop President Anthony DiGiorgio and citizen John Hardin, and photographs from personal collections as well as the Winthrop Archives, Rock Hill is sure to become a treasured keepsake in the city and beyond for the years to come.
