註釋This is no ordinary history of a small weekend community in New Hampshire. Local lore has it that Malcolm Ford murdered his more famous brother, Paul Leicester Ford, at a tavern at the end of the road. In the process of investigating this legend, the Rev. William D. Eddy has compiled this fascinating chronicle of the inhabitants and associates of Merrywood, the grand estate on Stone Pond near Malborough, New Hampshire.In this idiosyncratic memoir, Mr. Eddy takes the readers through the local history of one grand estate, Merrywood, and it's inhabitants and associates. He shows the reader a glimpse of the lives and foibles of the Chases, Fords, Kidders, and the Lodges -- among them publishing magnates, German refugees, and influential folksingers. This book is a must-read for anyone who knows and loves the Arcadia at the base of Mt. Monadnock.
