More than a book, this is a time capsule of simpler times in the Mad River Valley. Photos of tiny villages, how we lived, buildings and the people of a bygone era will tug at nostalgic hearts and enlighten others. Four little towns make up the Mad River Valley, then as now; little bits of heaven on earth. Kevin Eurich, a sixth-generation native of the Mad River Valley, chronicles the epic transition from a land of hard-scrabble family farms to a world-class travel destination, evoking a way of life both long-lost and longed for. He witnessed the evolution. A must-read for all who love Vermont and the Mad River Valley.
