Mitchell, Roger Clear Pond The Reconstruction of a Life
Syracuse University Press 1991 081560257X / 9780815602576 First Edition Hardcover Very Good with no dust jacket Signed by Author
Author inscribed a book plate to former owner and signed it. Rare copy and book looks new. Dust Jacket now in Mylar Protective Cover. Beautiful scarce collectors grade copy of this book. At the age of 45, poet Mitchell decided to learn more about the place where he'd grown up, New York State's Adirondack region. In his research, he found a name, place and date in a diary: Israel Johnson had built a sawmill at Clear Pond in 1836. Would it be possible to reconstruct this man's life and times? In an intensive five-year search, Mitchell talked to historians and librarians; studied census reports, deed books and war records; traced family members and searched the National Archives. We rejoice when, in 1986, he meets an 87-year-old great-grandson of Israel Johnson in the town of Adirondack. A remarkable piece of historical detective work and an engaging story, Mitchell's account offers valuable information for others pursuing genealogical questions. Photos. ; 0.99 x 9.26 x 6.26 Inches; 230 pages; Signed by Author
