Book Description
for My Village, Sturbridge by Gary Bowen and Randy Miller
From the Publisher
"Fifteen-year-old True Mason wishes to continue his apprenticeship with the master engraver, and so he has prepared a portfolio of his work for the printer and publisher Isaiah Thomas. The wood engravings True submits include views of many points of interest in Sturbridge, among them the interior of Asa Knight's store, the gristmill, the tavern, the parsonage, the covered bridge, the Freeman farm, the schoolhouse, the broommakers' workshop, the pottery, and the Quaker meetinghouse. Together with True's brief comments on each engraving, the series provides an intimate tour of life as it was lived in a New England village in 1827"--Jacket.
