DOWNLOAD EBOOKCultural Writing. Art. Tucker Nichols' POSTCARDS FROM VERMONT documents some of the stream of postcards he sent to Gallery 16 from Vermont where he was getting married in the summer of 2006. "I spent the month of June with my wife at her late grandmother's farmhouse in Vermont preparing for our wedding. We spent our days painting the house and raking muck from the pond in the company of an old blind dog. Before I left San Francisco, I told Griff I'd send him a few postcards from the country. I made these drawings in a small studio beside the pond using whatever materials I could find in the desk up at the house"--Tucker Nichols.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHundreds of century-old photographs give remarkable insight into the life and times of Londonderry and South Londonderry through the eyes of those who once lived there. This collection covers the time period from 1890 to 1920 in this small, rural Vermont community through pictures of daily life and special events. Businesses, stores, churches, schools, inns, and early homesteads are all featured, as well as baptisms, horse drawn sleighs, families in their Sunday best, and its once booming rail centre. Descriptive text accompanies each photograph to bring the still frames to life and provide its historical context. The book is dedicated to L T Landman, owner of "Store of Stores", who issued and sold many of the postcards seen in the book.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKE. Annie Proulx's first novel, Postcards, winner of the 1993 Pen/Faulkner Award for Fiction, tells the mesmerizing tale of Loyal Blood, who misspends a lifetime running from a crime so terrible that it renders him forever incapable of touching a woman. Blood's odyssey begins in 1944 and takes him across the country from his hardscrabble Vermont hill farm to New York, across Ohio, Minnesota, and Montana to British Columbia, on to North Dakota, Wyoming, and New Mexico and ends, today, in California, with Blood homeless and near mad. Along the way, he must live a hundred lives to survive, mining gold, growing beans, hunting fossils and trapping, prospecting for uranium, and ranching. In his absence, disaster befalls his family; greatest among their terrible losses are the hard-won values of endurance and pride that were the legacy of farm people rooted in generations of intimacy with soil, weather, plants, and seasons. Postcards chronicles the lives of the rural and the dispossessed and charts their territory with the historical verisimilitude and writerly prowess of Cather, Dreiser, and Faulkner. It is a new American classic.
