In the 1950s and 1960s Concord was technically a city, but it more closely resembled a small town. Remote from the larger world, change was slow to arrive - the stunning death of a popular young President, and a war that would tear the country apart and reassemble it as something nobody recognized. But those innocent decades were a seemingly endless summer, and young residents reveled in it. Riding bikes through the National Guard Armory grounds, hitching a snowy slide on the back of a mail truck and walking barefoot to the corner store for a Coke from the big red cooler. Entertainment was always free, from the Nevers Band to amateur fashion shows. Author Kathleen Bailey and photographer Sheila Bailey unveil a portrait of a town during a simpler time.

Kathleen D. Bailey is a journalist and novelist with forty years' experience in the nonfiction, newspaper and inspirational fields. Born in 1951, she was a child in the '50s, a teen in the '60s, a young adult in the '70s and a young mom in the '80s. While she's always dreamed of publishing fiction and has three novels in print, her two previous Arcadia projects--Exeter: Past and Present and New Hampshire War Monuments: The Stories Behind the Stones--made her fall in love with nonfiction and telling real people's stories.

Sheila R. Bailey is a freelance photographer living in Concord, New Hampshire. She recently coauthored Exeter: Past and Present along with shooting the contemporary photos for New Hampshire War Monuments: The Stories Behind the Stones.
