Looking through the eyes of the camera, we can glance back to a long-gone, quieter, and gentler rural past in the towns of Rehoboth, Swansea, and Dighton.

Produktbeschreibung
Looking through the eyes of the camera, we can glance back to a long-gone, quieter, and gentler rural past in the towns of Rehoboth, Swansea, and Dighton. This significant new pictorial history features many previously unpublished photographs that capture the small-town agricultural intimacy of the area before its transition during the middle and latter parts of the twentieth century to a less agricultural, semi-suburban setting. The period between 1850 and 1950 represents a century of significant change for these towns, and the photographs presented here seek to capture some of the area's lost flavor and texture. This volume features wonderfully nostalgic and rare views that have, for the most part, gone unseen by the general public.
Autorenporträt
Authors and local historians Charles T. Robinson and Frank DeMattos have delved deep into the collections of the Carpenter Museum in Rehoboth, the Swansea Public Library, and the Dighton Historical Society to include rare and visually outstanding views of important structures no longer standing, prominent early townsfolk at work and play, as well as familiar old stores and businesses. With powerful photographs, this work evokes living memories of places, people, and events that will surely be cherished by southeastern New England residents and area visitors for years to come.
