Authors and local historians Charles T. Robinson and Frank DeMattos have delved deep into the collections of the Carpenter Museum in Rehoboth, the Swansea Public Library, and the Dighton Historical Society to include rare and visually outstanding views of important structures no longer standing, prominent early townsfolk at work and play, as well as familiar old stores and businesses. With powerful photographs, this work evokes living memories of places, people, and events that will surely be cherished by southeastern New England residents and area visitors for years to come.
