Book desription: New York: W W Norton & Co Inc, 2000. First Softcover Edition. Soft Cover. New/No Jacket. Photographs. Library Journal said of this book "Virtually a new Spoon River Anthology, told by the villagers themselves with earthy rural humor." In the early 1970s, a quiet, two-hundred-year-old Ohio village called New Burlington was forcibly abandoned to allow the construction of a dam. John Baskin moved into an abandoned farmhouse and lived in New Burlington for its final year, commemorating and recording its residents' funny and heartbreaking stories. The result is one of the most unique and beautiful histories ever written about rural America. 260 pages, many family photographs included as well as professional photography. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
