| Publisher Description: Sprawling mansions and granite buildings from the past are still at the center of Peace Dale village life, but the town's history is more than just a tale of a privileged few. The legacy of the Irish and Italian immigrants who came to work in the mills and stayed to build a way of life is as important in the community today as the legacy left by the wealthy Hazard and Rodman families. Discover these early residents of Peace Dale in a remarkable collection of images, complemented by the text of author and local historian Betty J. Cotter. From Peace Dale's famous arched bridges to the mom-and-pop stores that ring Peace Dale Flats, this unprecedented collection explores the memories of yesteryear. The photographs date from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1960s and were gathered from the collections of the Pettaquamscutt Historical Society, the Peace Dale Library, and local residents. |
