With a poetas eye for clever detail and an ear for the rhythm of place and language, "Red House" is a real work of living history, a story of America from its wild beginnings in colonial New England through nine generations of the Hatch family. Based on an award-winning article Messer wrote for "Yankee Magazine" about Red House, this is a book for those of us who love old houses, colonial history, and beautifully written family stories.
