Curious fragmentary era notes and weathered tales from a river town
A patchwork of old newspaper clippings reports political griping, local mischief, and dramatic weather. It recounts an election clerkship upset, rail and tariff talk, Marshfield platform critique, and scattered local incidents including a thunderbolt accident near Center Street and a robin battling a squirrel over eggs, with vivid yet fragmentary details.
