From the industrialists of the South End to the pioneering Match Girls, Wadsworth has been host to larger-than-the-page characters since its founding. Join local author Caesar A.

With portraits of Big Andy, whose booming voice belied a gentle nature, and Roy Moore, a man of unexpected skills, Carrino also keeps an eye to the humorous to render an affectionate portrait of Wadsworth and its legendary folk.
