A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Prefatoey Note. For many years the writer has had a great love for the Eowe hills, and in his many walks and drives has accumulated items of both historical and personal interest. The sight of an old cellar-hole with its pink fire-weed and neighboring lilac bush has always held a solemn fascination, and has brought up pictures of a once happy family. Near yonder thorn, that lifts its head on high, Where once the sign-post caught the passing eye, Low lies that house where nut-brown draught inspired, Where gray-beard mirth and smiling toil retired, Where village statesmen talk dwith looks profound. And news much older than their ale went round. Then too, the roads became a subject for study; how the earliest highways were laid out in straight lines with little regard for hill summits, and how an early philosopher fetched a kettle to town meeting to prove that the distance around a hill was no greater than over it. The interest of the village school teacher in Rowe searly history and her efforts to arouse the same interest in her pupils, have been the stimulus for setting down these items on paper, in the hope that thereby their love for their native town will be increased. The author has drawn freely from the following sources: Rowe Town Records, 1785 1920 Massachusetts A rchives, 1744 1785 Perry s Origins in Williamstown, 1894 Sheldon s History of Deerfield, 1895 Holland s History of Western Massachusetts, 1855 There are nearly 50 cellar-holes to be seen in Rowe.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
