About this Item

Minor edge and corner wear; lightly scuffed and scratched; spine is gently creased; some light shelf wear; overall a very crisp and clean used copy! Very very rare and hard-to-find title! Black and white pictorial wrapper with black lettering. 84 very clean unmarked and uncreased historical and informative pages nicely enhanced by black and white photographs and illustrations! Extremely scarce and out-of-print first edition! "Histories of communities are sensitive things for they seek to reflect those events that shaped the life of a particular place. To do a history of even a small village such as Capron requires that one attempt to step out of the present for a time and see if the past can convey its richness and life to the writer. The past gives up some of itself in remembered conversations with members of the 'old families' whose memories retain some of those events that went into making the community." --------- from the Foreword. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
