MoskeyI had never heard of Foxfollow Farm or the Dows family before reading this book; but now that I have; I feel as though I've visited a magnificent home in the Hudson River Valley many times and have become an intimate of the family who lived there; and their friends. Rarely is the private life of a great American family open for all to see. In this book; David Byars presents a wonderfully panoramic photographic history of Mr. Mrs. Tracy Dows and their family and friends from the early 1900s into the 1930s. The photographs that Mr. Byars has carefully chosen come from 26 albums of photographs that Mr. Dows himself took during that period. Each photograph is accompanied by a detailed; descriptive caption that puts the photograph in the right context of time and place; making it possible to view the photographs and understand their importance to the family's story. I found myself getting caught up in the ebb and flow of the family's life. By the end of the book; when the family moves out of their home at Foxhollow Farm in the wake of the stock market crash of 1929; I felt as if I was sharing that sad moment with them!There is much to see and enjoy in this book: weddings; raising children; holidays at home and abroad; and many casual; unposed moments that will delight and entertain you. "Our Time at Foxhollow Farm" is a wonderful addition to American cultural and social history. Congratulations and thanks to Mr. Byars for this accomplishment.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. An unexpected treat with a family's visual history anchored by a homeBy Peter H. MillenThis is a wonderful book for many reasons. The feel of the paper and binding; horizontal design; photo and text layout was very well thought out and most appreciated. This is a visual book through and through with a rich library of many; many high quality photos of the era that do not disappoint. It really is a broad view of a family with wide political; social and economic connects of another era. Lacking in pretense yet they were a very well connected the family. Perhaps most surprising is how they seemingly included their sensational architect (H T Lindeberg) of Foxhollow into many activities for years after the estate was complete.Worth noting for any would be buyer this isn't just an architecture book [in fact I'd love to see more of the stone stables] but rather visual history that includes trips abroad; family gatherings and family friends of the era; such as FDR.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful.
