Excerpt from Uncle Lisha's Shop: Life in a Corner of YankeelandIt is all changed now Danvis has daily mails, the tele graph almost touches its border, and its mountains echo the shrieks of locomotives and the roar of railroad-trains. The people, generally. Wear as fine and modern clothes as any country folk, and it is doubtful whether there is one adult who has not seen something of the bustle and life of at least one of Vermont's two cities, if not those of even greater marts. An aristocracy has sprung up, and people are losing the neighborly kindness of the old times when none were rich and none were poor, and all were in greater measure dependent on each other. In fact, the Danvis folk are no better now than their lowland neighbors, who therefore no longer despise them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
