Project Gutenberg 2009-02-06 Public domain in the USA. 304 Lunt, George 1803 1885 01011536 Old New England Traits Produced by Roger Frank, Darleen Dove and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Old New England Traits" by George Lunt is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative captures the essence of life in an old New England town, exploring the customs, traditions, and notable individuals of the time. It provides a reminiscence of both personal experiences and broader historical themes that shaped the character and community of early New England settlers. The opening of the book sets a nostalgic tone, recounting vivid memories from the author’s childhood during harsh winters and community events. An ancient mariner, Tom Trudge, highlights the spirit of camaraderie as he helps dig out Lunt's family home after a snowstorm, emphasizing the warmth of neighborly support in the past. We are introduced to the town's rich history, its picturesque setting by a noble river, and the lingering influence of prominent families and historical figures that molded its legacy. As he reflects on the simplicity and severity of character among New England's early inhabitants, Lunt invites readers to consider the romantic nature often overlooked in colonial life. This combination of personal anecdotes and historical observations creates a tapestry of life that is both engaging and thought-provoking. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
