Paperback. Condizione: VG. Very nice clean copy. 103 pages : illustrations ; 28 cm From the Foreword: Come and join us for a glimpse of Greenwich, Connecticut, the farming town of 150 years ago. You will meet the studious Colonel Drake, and through him, his rustic half-brother Lot, his pert sister Hannah, and two stout lads, Cornelius and William J., his sons by Julia Ann (Knapp). Explore with us what they did, how they lived, the joys and perils of farmlife, and what they found on frequent visits to New York City, a booming city within reach by horseback, steamboat, and later on, railway train. We have no specific oral record, but if they talked as they wrote, they must have been well-spoken people. Perhaps farmhands lapsed into a rural vernacular, but not the principals who prided themselves on good education, It is safe to assume they spoke slowly and clearly. A working chap wrote the word "paticlars", and no doubt that is how he said it. I owe great gratitude to my scholarly Uncle Walter who regaled me with tales of the olden days and who by his birth in 1866 thereby knew men and women born in the 18th century, also to a trunk full of ancient maps, letters and documents, and to my growing up near a family of gentle, intelligent "colored" people who had been born on the North Street farm known as "Lot and Drake's". Thanks are owing to my helpful editors William E. Finch, Jr., Charles F. Stanwood, and Joseph Zeranski, also to Ginny Wood of the Library of Congress and Davidde Strackbein of the wonderful Historical Society of the Town of Greenwich. 103 pages.

" Saga of the 58-year Haul of That "Pricely Little Railroad"- the Woodstock- the American Dream of What a Shortline Railroad Should be and Do!"--from the jacket. The 14 mile railroad was begun in 1868 and opened in "1875 when the line was finally completed and the first train made the trip. While never very busy, the line continued running until 1933, when it was abandoned. The last run took place on Saturday, April 15, 1933.During construction two major obstacles were overcome: a one mile (1.6 km) long cut in Stanley Hill, and a substantial trestle over the Quechee Gorge, formed by the Ottauquechee River, The original trestle was replaced first by a wooden arch bridge, then in 1911 by one made of steel. At one time the 163-foot (49.7 m) high structure may have been the highest railroad bridge in New England. Originally the Woodstock Railroad, a financial reorganization in 1890 caused the name to change to Woodstock Railway."--Wikipedia. First printing, no others noted.
