Robinson, William F. Abandoned New England. its Hidden Ruins and Where to Find Them.
Boston New York Graphic Society 1978 0821207342 / 9780821207345 First Thus Softcover Very Good
Xii, 209, [2] pages, 8 color plates, well illustrated, maps, pictorial wrappers, 8 by 11 inches, very good. From the back cover: "Overgrown with vines and worn by many winters, the ruins of New England often possess a somber beauty akin to the great ruins of Europe. Each one has a story to tell of a nearly forgotten trade, industry, or way of life from the days when New England's farms, ships, mines, and factories supplied all that a young nation needed. In his narrative, William F. Robinson evokes this heyday and opens our eyes to the wealth of its remains - milestones, canals, schools, churches, farms, animal pounds, mills, lumber camps, tanneries, resorts, mines, ironworks, kilns, factories, gasholder houses, coastal schooners, ropewalks, and railroads.

[10],222 pages, 8 plates, many text illustrations, maps, cloth, dj, very good. 9 by 11-1/2 inches. Stated first edition. From the publisher: "A richly illustrated, comprehensive history of those who have lived here under the ocean's sway, in this region "peopled with witch-hanging Puritans, broad-shouldered whalemen, dignified sea captains, and recalcitrant Down Easters. Coastal New England reveals how this both rugged and gentle shore has shaped the ways of life of those who have dwelt here, from the Indians, to the earliest explorers (seeking a northern El Dorado), through the growth of trade, the golden ages of whaling and steam travel, the rise of mill towns and resorts, up to the coastal livelihoods of today. ~ The text is profusely illustrated with rarely seen historic paintings, prints, maps, and archival photographs, as well as Robinson's own photographs; twenty color plates capture this fragile and ancient land in all its mood and seasons."
