Synopsis

In this remarkable new photographic history, local historian and photographer Dennis LeBeau presents a heartwarming tale of life in the Brookfields at the turn of the century. The photographs in this collection are those of William Bullard, an itinerant photographer in the 1890s and early 1900s from North Brookfield, whose work has never before been published in book form. The story of Bill Bullard’s life and photographic legacy are dramatically revealed in this fascinating glimpse into the past. After the photographer’s untimely and tragic demise, the rich photographic archives of Bill Bullard were carefully preserved by his brother, Charlie Bullard, and three generations of the neighboring Gaudette family. Dennis LeBeau has individually reprinted each image in this collection from its original glass plate negative. Mr. LeBeau’s researched and well-informed captions accompany the photographs in Bullard’s collection, creating a comprehensive historic portrait of both the Brookfields and the Bullard family.
