Although small, the town is remarkable for being one of the best catalogued in its region; this history contains dozens of photographs of local landmarks and community figures, immersing readers in the tight-knit existence residents led centuries ago. As such, this can be considered a snapshot of life in a distant period of America's past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing written at the beginning of the 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century, this work's style is vastly different from a modern history textbook. We are told a series of anecdotes - these are interesting, even whimsical, stories of the times before and after Gouldtown's founding. Various events and well-known locals are discussed, their spirit and determination to succeed and persevere detailed to a superb degree. We discover how locals supported local trade and commerce, contributed to religious life, and fought valiantly in the U.S. Civil War and other conflicts of the 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn all, those interested in New England and American life long ago will find much value in this chronicle of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 148\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 1913\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47405451935922,"sku":"9781789875546","price":20.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/026a67d74afe2922a2744494cd8dd7e3.webp?v=1778185550","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/gouldtown-a-very-remarkable-settlement-of-ancient-date-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
