Excerpt from Neighbors of Yesterday
The Adirondack farmers and lumbermen were a shrewd, kindly, simple people, bound together bya characteristic clannishness that gave them the feeling that they were a race apart from the dwell ers in towns. They had little subtlety and they were not progressive. Life moved in a rut for them; they were content with what they knew and what they had, and resented the intrusion of nov clty and change.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Step into a bygone era and immerse yourself in the lives of the unforgettable "Neighbors of Yesterday." This collection of poignant stories paints a vivid portrait of the Adirondack farmers and lumbermen who inhabited the North Woods in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author, a native of the region, masterfully captures the essence of these resilient individuals, their unique customs, and their unwavering spirit. Through their stories, we witness their struggles, triumphs, and the gradual transformation of their way of life as modernity encroaches upon their isolated world. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of human nature, the author delves into themes of love, loss, faith, and the enduring power of community. From the eccentric Mis Meegan, who finds solace in her graveyard flowers, to the enigmatic hunchback Jim Pasco, who conceals a secret yearning for acceptance, each character offers a glimpse into the complexities of the human experience. As we journey through these tales, we are reminded that the values and traditions of the past hold profound lessons for the present, urging us to cherish the simple things in life and to find strength in the face of adversity.
