Salmon colored, soft-cover book, stapled together, Vol. IV, May 1963, Published by: The Progressive Club, Windsor, Mass, 500 copies, $1.50, first printing. Foreword: 'This volume is just another continuation of the work in the fore-going volumes (see 2007a-001, 2007a-002) and represents my hope of throwing more light on the ways, customs, joys and hardships of Rural New England of the past. I am neither scholar nor historian, but the fascinating tales from older generations that came to me in my childhood, together with the bits I've uncovered while searching attics for miniature articles and the generous and ever increasing supplies of information garnered from friends, acquaintances and even strangers have encoouraged me to continue this work which so enchants me.' Chapters: Country Stores; Seeing Boston for the First Time; Celebrating the Fourth; Going for the Cows; Cider Making; Poultry Raising of the Past; Christmas as I Remember It; Farming as Grandpa Did It; Advertising; Grandma's Shadow-Box.
