Peace Dale - Hardcover

by Betty J. Cotter (Author)

Sprawling mansions and granite buildings from the past are
still at the center of Peace Dale village life, but the town's
history is more than just a tale of a privileged few. The legacy
of the Irish and Italian immigrants who came to work in the
mills and stayed to build a way of life is as important in the
community today as the legacy left by the wealthy Hazard and
Rodman families. Discover these early residents of Peace Dale
in a remarkable collection of images, complemented by the text
of author and local historian Betty J. Cotter. From Peace Dale's
famous arched bridges to the mom-and-pop stores that ring Peace
Dale Flats, this unprecedented collection explores the memories
of yesteryear. The photographs date from the mid-nineteenth
century to the 1960s and were gathered from the collections of
the Pettaquamscutt Historical Society, the Peace Dale Library,
and local residents.
