- Summary
- The history of the New England stone wall, telling a story that began in the Ice Age and was shaped by fencing needs in the nineteenth century, by conflicts between Native Americans and colonists over land use, and by waves of immigration and suburbanization. Not just proof of the skill and labor of farmers, but also of slaves, Native Americans, indentured servants and children.
