| Publisher Description: Rockland's roots run deeply into American history. Originally a village of Abington, Rockland broke away in 1874 to form its own economically strong and enterprising shoe-manufacturing community. This book transports the reader back in time to meet six-year-old George Rockland Hunt, the "first citizen of Rockland"; Hulda Barker Loud, the irrepressible editor of the Rockland Independent; and Judge George Kelley leading his parade through the center of town. Rockland captures the lives of the merchants of Union Street, the heyday of the local shoe industry, and the stories of Rockland's past as told through the eyes of the camera. |
Contributor Bio(s): Cann, Donald: - Donald Cann, a leading historian of the Rockland community and former member of the Rockland Historical Commission, teams with John Galluzzo, author of four Arcadia titles on the histories of Hull and Nantasket Beach and Scituate, to bring the story of this important Massachusetts community to life in Rockland. |
