Connecticut Valley Vernacular: The Vanishing Landscape and Architecture of the New England Tobacco Fields Hardcover – Download: Adobe Reader, July 31, 2002

The author’s writing accurately reflected tobacco farms and farmers with whom I grew up and the work of raising tobacco as I knew it. The only downside is my own nostalgia at seeing this way of life disappear.

While the text is pretty good and the historic pictures are fine, there should have been more contemporary photos to show the Connecticut River Valley Today and how people are using the barns today.
