Dororthy Wentworth in this friendly history has caught the spirit of the house and its people; an extraordinary family; virile and talented; producing leaders in the colony; commonwealth and country. This revised edition contains an index as well as an afterword by Katherine Pillsbury; the current Town Historian. The book is hardcover; 144 pages; with more than 30 illustrations and photographs of the house and its residents.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. a book to have and shareBy Lori ThompsonI bought this book before I converted to Islam almost 7 years ago. I have read it over and over. For the lay reader it is thorough; easy to read and right on the mark.I have since bought a copy for most members of my family. It is a general knowledge book and like its title includes information that 'everyone should know'. My intention in sharing it was to dispel many of the misconceptions people have about Islam and to open the door to understanding and dialogue. I personally have read no other book more suited for that purpose.Great book!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
