Customer Reviews of New Burlington: The Life and Death of an American Village
Words from a resident I moved to the hills above what used to be New Burlington in 1973. As a young boy playing in the old foundations of the homes in the town, I never appreciated what an amazing place it had been. Mr. Baskin brings the town back to life with his first person accounts and the writings of persons long since past. People write of floods and winter storms with a detachment that makes me feel guilty for complaining about any of the minor inconveniences that weather causes now. The writer has served to immortalize more than memorialize this wonderful town that was. He also gave one resident a reason to truly appreciate the people who came before him. I have since left the hills above New Burlington but, thanks to Mr. Baskin, I can always go back.
A well written historical collection of stories.
John Baskin has a unique way of writing. He interview people from a little town in New Burlington, OH to create a compulation of humorous & heart-warming stories from a town that no longer exists. The setting is for the most part, the early 1900's. An excellent read! I hope to read the sequell soon.
