Forest and Stream. It was written with less purpose of telling any story than of re cording the manners, customs, and speech in vogue fifty or sixty years ago in certain parts of New England. Manners have changed, many customs have become obsolete, and though the dialect is yet spoken by some in almost its original quaintness, abounding in odd similes and figures of speech, it is passing away ;so that one may look forward to the time when a Yankee may not be known by his speech, unless perhaps he shall speak a little better English than some of his neighbors. In truth he uses no worse now, nor did he ever, though he is accused of it. Such as it was, some may be glad to remember, and chiefly for them these papers have been written. R. E. R. FEBRISBURGH, VT., A ugust, 1894.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This detailed collection of chronicles and short stories by the author offers a rich insight into the traditions, customs, and folklore of the people of New England in the mid-19th century. Set primarily in the fictional town of Danvis, the book takes a close look at the daily lives of rural New Englanders as they navigated the changing times around them. The stories capture the distinct cadence of Yankee speech, folklore, and nuanced cultural practices of the region, with a focus on the social and economic changes brought on by the Industrial Revolution and the impact they had on the people and landscape of New England. Both poignant and entertaining, this book serves as a valuable record of a vanishing way of life and offers an in-depth exploration of regional identity and community in the face of progress.
