註釋The Quinebaug River, which sources near East Brimfield MA is the focal point of the story. It begins in the 1700's, and includes historical information on indigenous people. The book takes you on a fascinating fact laden trip through time of the people of East Brimfield and what is now its Lost Village. The book integrates the general history of the region with the local flavor of the life span of a quaint community of New Englanders. The interesting narrative incorporates how it prospers through the Industrial Revolution, the stage and trolley days on into the 20th century, and survived the Great Depression. The authors document the village's eventual demise at the hands of mother nature and public policy. They describe life as it was, and explain how the sinking of the Titanic was a pivotal part of East Brimfield's history. The authors describe the beautiful environment the land held for those who lived there. The book includes accounts of hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and other unusual events.
