Quabbin: The Lost Valley

xviii, 631 pp. "This book has been written to provide an historical and pictorial story of a valley that is no more. When a great, new water supply was needed for towns and cities in the eastern part of the State, principally Boston, the Swift River Valley was swept clear by a huge, man-made flood. ...This book is a collection of biographical sketches and recorded events in the lives of the thrifty and home-loving people of these towns." CONTENTS: Boston's Need for Water; Enfield and Smiths; Greenwich and Greenwich Village; Dana and North Dana; Prescott, Millington, New Salem and Pelham; Index.
