Our Vanishing Landscape

Written with humor and affection, and enhanced with the author's charming, historically accurate drawings, this book takes readers on a leisurely journey through a bygone era.

Brimming with anecdotes about people and the times, this delightful narrative remains a genuine and permanent contribution to the field of Americana. 81 black-and-white illustrations.
