Extract

A few miles from my home, there nestles in the friendly atmosphere of the Green Mountains of Vermont a hamlet of fifty people, known as South Reading: just a sleepy little neighborhood now, but formerly a thriving, active community. Here were located a map-printing shop, several sawmills, a grist mill, a woolen mill, a chair factory, a smithery, and a tannery.
