No one person can fitly describe a neighborhood, no matter how long known, how well loved. Yet records of what is lovely and of good report in a district should be treasured and preserved, however imperfectly. My fathers name, not mine, should rightly be signed to these pages, for it is his intimate knowledge of our countryside, loved and explored with a boys ardor and a naturalists insight since childhood, which they strive to set down. I have taken care to write almost wholly of two or more generations ago, and of persons who, with few exceptions, have now passed out of this life; and I have in all cases altered names, and shifted families from one part of the county to another, to avoid possible annoyance to surviving connections. It has even seemed best in some cases though I have done so with reluctance to change the names of villages, of hills and streams, as well.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating portrait of life in a northern New England county, richly evoking a time when sailing ships were built and launched, and the river was a vital artery for commerce and local life. The author, drawing upon memories and anecdotes passed down from past generations, paints a vivid picture of the region's distinctive landscape, including its rolling hills, countless lakes, and the majestic river that courses through its heart. The book's narrative weaves together detailed descriptions of the natural world, the hard-working people who lived and worked there, and the unique traditions and cultural nuances of rural New England life. The author captures the spirit of a bygone era, reminding us of the enduring beauty and character of a place, and the importance of preserving its history and the stories that shape it. The book is a reminder that the lives of everyday people, their triumphs and struggles, their loves and losses, are just as important and fascinating as those documented in grander historical accounts.
