Letters From the Old Trunk: The History of Our New England Family From 1600 to 2023

Discover how people lived back in the 17th and 18th centuries in their own words, courtesy of author D. Charles Petersen. Wanting to prove his mother's statement that a Massachusetts property had been in their family for centuries, he decided to find out for himself. His catalyst was an old trunk stored in their Massachusetts family home known as the Red House. The old trunk held letters, photos, ledgers, and other items dating back centuries, gathered and saved by one of his ancestors. Within those documents, he found the fascinating story of his family history dating back to one member born in 1600. The personal letters also uncovered a treasure trove of history which coursed like a river - marriages combining families like tributaries - and flowing through the centuries to this modern day. Enjoy this fascinating revelation of people from the past, some in their own handwriting, through Letters from the Old Trunk.
