Readers see history through the eyes of everyday people in this ecclectic collection of journals, anecdotes, and "slice-of-life" vignettes from New England. There's the diary of a young Englishwoman who came to work in America in 1914, just as her homeland was drawn into World War I ...adventures of rum-runners during prohibition...a visit to St. Mary's Home for Children during the '40s to meet a boy with happy surprises in store. Spinner V brings to life these and other stories of the human experience and features an extraordinary photographic portrayal of people and events of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.
