Danvers: From 1850 to 1899 Book

In this marvelous new photographic history, the story of Danvers from 1850 to 1899 unfolds before our eyes through the medium of early American photography. Readers will gaze at the fresh, young face of Danvers shoemakers and farmers turned soldiers, dressed in uniform and prepared to fight in the Civil war. The pocket villages of Danvers are revealed and illustrated both in images of structures forever lost lost and others now preserved as historic house museums. Also illustrated are many of the elegant estates occupied by such notables as poet John Greenleaf Whittier and Secretary of War William C. Endicott.
