"Stones From the Walls of Jericho, a history of Bainbridge based on the notes of Dr. Edward Danforth (1878-1964). Here for the first time are the greatly anticipated historical notes of Dr. Edward Danforth. Starting before the advent of the white man, Dr. Danforth traces the fascinating history of Bainbridge up until the middle of the 1950's. From that point, the Bainbridge Historical Society has updated his notes with contemporary photographs and captions. Between the covers of this volume you will chuckle over the antics of Bacon Gould, be amazed at the exploits of "Jed" Smith and find the events in the life of Abe Antoine tragic. This history covers a large range of events and subjects: industries, physicians, churches, schools and organizations just to name a few. Two years in the making, this history is the only official bicentennial history of Bainbridge. Here is a book which will be read and reread. The pictorial history in itself would be well worth the price of this marvelous volume." - from the inner front jacket flap.
