"The Olden Time Series: Vol. 2: The Days of the Spinning-Wheel in New England" by Henry M. Brooks is a journey back to the heart of early New England, exploring life when spinning wheels were more than just tools—they were emblems of home and hard work. Through stories pulled from old newspapers and memories, the author paints a picture of a time defined by simple living and strong values. The book kicks off by looking at how we now long for old items, like the spinning wheel, and contrasts the straightforward, thrifty ways of pre-Revolutionary War America with the changing trends of the author's present day. From fashion to the economy, and everything in between, Brooks uses snippets from history to bring the past to life, showing how people felt about their own history, mixing respect with a bit of a critical eye.
