The community spirit that exists within the villages is well captured by the inclusion of numerous pictures, as are the religious and educational beliefs. The topographical studies in this book are also certain to remind the reader well of the enormous changes that have taken place in the district during the past 100 years and will consequently appeal to all generations.
