Starting today, the second volume of the Bledsoe County Historical and Genealogical Society’s latest historical photo collection, “Bledsoe County: A Pictorial History Volume II,” is on sale at the society’s home on Frazier Street, officials said.
“We sold 564, so far,” said Norma Jean Hobbs, society treasurer. “We need to sell a whole lot more.”
The first printing of Volume II produced 2,150 copies, and people should remember the first volume sold and was reprinted a few times to keep up with demand, society officials said.
“The majority of people are tickled to see them,” Hobbs said. “They’re really excited and like the books. We’ve not had many remarks that they didn’t like it.”
