This, now classic piece of Americana offers a social view of a rural village in Southern Maine from 1870 through 1930, and features the hard-working Bragdon family among other families with various attitudes that come and go during two war-times, the gold rush, prosperity, depression, and progress--railroads, automobiles, and trolleys.
