River Town (Small Town U.S.A.)

About this book

During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries small towns sprouted up along the banks of Americas rivers. Through a year of changing seasons the reader is transported to the days when peoples livelihoods were directly connected to the river. The life of the townsfolk is shown to be an accumulation of events both large and small from a joyous Halloween parade to the frozen river in winter to the threat of damaging springtime floods. Children and adults alike will pour over these pages of intricate etchings noticing the changes and happenings of day-to-day season-to-season life lived along a river. As they did in Prairie Town the Geiserts have once again created a stunning tribute to small-town America as it once was and to an extent still remains today.
