Yesterday I wrote about the upcoming March 11, 2013 publication of my book, Legendary Locals of Lowell, which is a history of the city told through pictures of its people. More information about the book including how to pre-order, where it will be sold locally, and dates of readings/signings are posted on our Legendary Locals page which has a link along the very top of this website.

The book contains 214 photographs; most are of individuals but there are a number of group shots. Listing everyone yielded a very long index. Over the next several days, I thought I’d publish installments of the index here to give readers a preview of who is included in the book. Here’s the first batch of names:
