Sermons in Stone
The Stone Walls of New England and New York
Susan Allport
A well-written, fascinating contribution to the regions social and economic history.
Boston Magazine
What do we actually know about stone walls?
Who built them, and why were they built? Stone
walls are not simply monuments to the skill of
Yankee farmers or quaint reminders of a simpler
time; they are ultimately utilitarian. The historical record shows that many were built by slaves,
Indians, indentured servants, and children.
Sermons in Stone is the surprising and illuminating history of stone walls. It is a story that
began in the Ice Age and was shaped by the need
to divide properties in the nineteenth century,
by conflicts between Native Americans and
colonists over land use, and by Americas waves
of immigration and suburbanization.
Who would think that a history of that humble
workaday structure, the stone wall, would be so
full of the fascinating, the peculiar, the downright
eccentric? But here it is, laid out in a sprightly
style and beautifully illustrated by the ink drawings of David Howell. Dallas Morning News
