About this product
Product Information
There once may have been 250,000 miles of some mans in Americans Northeast stretching farther than the distance to the moon. Even though most of them are crumbling today, they contain a magnificent scientific and cultural story. Stone walls tell nothing less than the saga of how New England was formed. Every stone has a story, and in Thorson's portrayal they live and breathe. New England's stones are the remnants of ancient mountains formed by prehistoric collisions between continents, then broken apart and buried as glaciers moved and melted. As the stones gradually worked their way back to the surface, they became impediments to cultivating the land, so eighteenth-century farmers piled them into walls. Usually the biggest investment on a farm, stone walls became a defining element of the northeastern landscape and a symbol of the shift to an agricultural economy. Linking geological history to the early American experience, Stone by Stone presents a fascinating picture of the land the Pilgrims settled, allowing us to see and understand it with new eyes.
