Publication - Book, 'Aunt Teeks in Memory Land,' (Vol. II) by Alice C. Steele

Tan, soft-cover book, stapled together, Vol. II, November 1960, Published by: The Progressive Club, Windsor, Mass, 500 copies, $1.50, first printing. Foreword: 'Through the kind encouragement of friends, acquaintances and even strangers, who bore with me through Vol. I (missing), (see also 2007a-002, 2007a-003) I acquired the courage and incentive to continue with my tales and records of a way of life in Western Massachusetts which has departed, never to return. I truely hope that the persons who read this volume may find some interesting remnants of past life; ways and customs which might otherwise have become lost from memory's pages. In our present, push button era, we are inclined to view the nineteenth century as one of hardship and quite lacking in the niceties of life which today we consider necessities, but as I search community records and diaries and study account books of the period, I find a friendly, gracious way of life that has been lost in our race for progress. I owe a debt of gratitude to many friends and acquaintances who have given me access to their family records and traditions and assisted me in every way possible with this undertaking and my thanks are hereby expressed.'
