The Suitcase Farming Frontier

have been torn down to make room for modern development. Some towns have saved the lovely old buildings, by converting them into offices, classrooms, or housing for the elderly, without altering their outside appearance. The authors say nothing about the waterpower still in use. Lowell and Lawrence, for example, still use canals of the Merrimack River to generate small amounts of power and are considering using more to help meet the energy crisis. Early American Mills contains a good many errors, some of which reveal hasty editing, and certain plans are illegible. On the other hand, the book is blessed with an index, with a selected bibliography, and with many unobtrusive footnotes. PEVERIL MEIGS
