Warwick 1906 The Way We Were
The image features the cover of a book titled "Warwick 1906: The Way We Were" by Richard W. Hull. The cover is a vintage-looking design with a yellowish background and bold black text. It includes two black-and-white photographs; the upper photograph appears to depict a boat or ship alongside a body of water with trees and structures visible in the background, while the lower photograph shows a large, historic building, possibly a hotel.

THE ESSAYS I've written on Warwick in 1906 are not meant simply to provide a nostalgic glimpse into the past. Societies that dwell excessively on past glories risk becoming ultraconservative, reactionary, and stagnant. The aim of history is to place the contemporary scene in a wider chronological context in order to better understand, deal with, and appreciate the present. I cannot think of a single culture that has progressed without a deep awareness of its past failures as well as its accomplishments. The present must be viewed as the developing, evolving past. My greatest concern today is that insufficient attention is given in our homes, schools, and governments to the historical dimension of the human condition. It is not . surprising that there is so much desecration of our rich legacy: monuments, buildings, books, institutions, etc. These essays could not have been written without the generous assistance of many fellow citizens, among them: Frances Bradner, John J. Beattie, Emma Jackson, Mary Mac- Pherson, John W. Sanford, Jim and Gayle Tunnell, Mary Ward, Dorothy Wilson and Betty Wright. I am particularly indepted to Jack and Fanny Davis for their helpful editorial assistance and to Ann White for the use of her invaluable and truly remarkable picture postcard collection. Obviously, in any historical work, many important people and places are neglected or not known to the researcher. All omissions and mistakes are solely my responsibility and for them please accept my apologies. Richard W. Hull Sugar LoafCollection
