In Images of America: Garner, Kaye Buffaloe Whaley delivers an interesting foray into Garner's people, events, and places, beginning with the earliest kinsman. Whaley explores the town today, including St. Mary's, Panther Branch, and Swift Creek Townships, through over 200 vintage photographs. This collection of photographs and Whaley's ability to incorporate the community into this project have created a visual tour into one small town's past, allowing its history to be revisited for many generations. Kaye Buffaloe Whaley is a native of the area; she represents the seventh generation of her family to reside in Wake County. A local historian, Whaley is devoted to the preservation of her hometown.
