The Bones of The Earth

In this thoughtful collection, Howard Mansfield explores the rich history and changing landscape of New England through visits to its stone bridges, old buildings, cemeteries, and roadside shrines. Written with wit and passion, the essays reflect on how local landmarks tell stories of the past and raise questions about preservation and the future of traditional customs. A reflective ode to a fading way of life, the book invites readers to consider the significance of history, home, and memory.
