In this charming memoir, Mary Anna Tarbell recounts her experiences growing up in a small New England town in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She offers a unique perspective on the daily life of a rural community during a time of great technological change, including the arrival of the railroad, the automobile, and other modern conveniences. This book is a delightful read for anyone interested in the history of New England or the social history of the early 20th century.
