Old Town Folks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Old Town Folks is a 1869 novel written by Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin. This book was based partially on her husband's childhood memories and the residents in his native village of Natick, Massachusetts (now South Natick). Her books were usually about sermonizing (her books were usually religious or they preached about the horrors of slavery) but this book was different from most of her other books. This book was one of the first examples of local colored writing in New England. Stowe tells everyone very eccentrically about her beliefs in her other books like Uncle Tom's Cabin.
