- Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2023Nice family story.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2014This book was absolutely horribly written. It's the first book that I have ever "not" finished. It seemed like this book just wasn't edited by a professional and all the weird wording just kept throwing me off. Plus, it didn't read like a story, but more of a history textbook.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2014Fascinating details about all the generations of an American family from Colonial times to the 20th century. I particularly enjoyed reading about how historians find out about their subject.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2022Won't say this volume is a page-turner, but I am taking it slowly and loving it. It's beautifully written -- a joy to read. Letters quoted, farm bills, 150-year-old home renovation bills, even shop inventories, speak of real people with their workaday lives, aspirations, joys, and heartbreak. The more you read of the family's and their neighbors' various paths, the more involved with them you become, and the more you care about them. Above all, the family's house, still standing, bears witness to over two-hundred years of history -- and no longer mute. A really wonderful book.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2014For a reader interested in nineteenth-century life in a small New England town, 'All Our Yesterdays' was very interesting reading.
For a historian interested in Hampton, CT, it is a treasure trove of local history information drawn from a huge manuscript collection.
Better yet, it provides clues to the mass of manuscripts that could not be more fully explored in the book due to space limitations.
'All Our Yesterdays' is a valuable source book for researchers interested in Connecticut history.
