Although small, the town is remarkable for being one of the best catalogued in its region; this history contains dozens of photographs of local landmarks and community figures, immersing readers in the tight-knit existence residents led centuries ago. As such, this can be considered a snapshot of life in a distant period of America's past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing written at the beginning of the 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century, this work's style is vastly different from a modern history textbook. We are told a series of anecdotes - these are interesting, even whimsical, stories of the times before and after Gouldtown's founding. Various events and well-known locals are discussed, their spirit and determination to succeed and persevere detailed to a superb degree. We discover how locals supported local trade and commerce, contributed to religious life, and fought valiantly in the U.S. Civil War and other conflicts of the 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn all, those interested in New England and American life long ago will find much value in this chronicle of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4860781\"\u003eWilliam Steward\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14925902\"\u003eTheophilus G.
