A 1940s Monadnock Childhood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781609492656)

Life for children who grew up in the Monadnock region of New Hampshire's countryside during the 1940s was simple and less complicated than the hustle and bustle of later decades. It was a time when storekeepers filled your orders and shoe stores actually repaired shoes. Morning chores included milking cows, and an evening out was square dancing at the local high school or going down to the movie theater, where tickets cost twenty-five cents. The towns of Peterborough, Dublin, Jaffrey and Hancock composed part of this picturesque landscape, which still attracts leaf peepers every autumn. Join author Tom Shultz as he chronicles the people and places of this disappearing way of life in the Monadnock region.
