Baskin, John (With a New Introduction By the author) New Burlington: The Life and Death of an American Village
New York W W Norton & Co Inc 2000 0393320200 / 9780393320206 First Softcover Edition Soft Cover New No Jacket Photographs
Library Journal said of this book "Virtually a new Spoon River Anthology, told by the villagers themselves with earthy rural humor." In the early 1970s, a quiet, two-hundred-year-old Ohio village called New Burlington was forcibly abandoned to allow the construction of a dam. John Baskin moved into an abandoned farmhouse and lived in New Burlington for its final year, commemorating and recording its residents' funny and heartbreaking stories. The result is one of the most unique and beautiful histories ever written about rural America. 260 pages, many family photographs included as well as professional photography.
