With its vivid descriptions of rural life in upstate New York, the book offers a compelling portrait of a community struggling to reconcile tradition with modernity.Through the door I could see her among the bushes, her lithe form bending in the quest of blossoms. Were it midsummer, I thought, and the garden filled with the whole season?s wealth of flowers, it could hold nothing more beautiful than she. Perhaps there was some shadow of my moody fit, the evening after the dinner at the Hall, remaining to sadden my thoughts of parting from her. I cannot tell. I only know that they were indeed sad thoughts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
