Carver
The mention of Carver usually conjures up images of cranberries and brilliant red bogs. In the 1800s, immigrants from Finland and the Cape Verde Islands came to Carver as cranberry harvesters and later became prominent residents and owners of their own bogs. By 1940, more cranberries came from Carver than from any other town. While much of Carver's infrastructure and industry was driven by the berries, the discovery of iron ore and construction of several foundries also had great influence. Through historical images gathered from the public library and local residents, Carver chronicles the growth of the town; various industries; landmarks such as Savery Avenue, Union Church, and the Edaville Railroad; and Old Home Day, a one-hundred-year-old tradition.

New England Marriages Prior to 1700
This work, compiled over a period of thirty years from about 2,000 books and manuscripts, is a comprehensive listing of the 37,000 married couples who lived in New England between 1620 and 1700. Listed are the names of virtually every married couple living in New England before 1700, their marriage date or the birth year of a first child, the maiden names of 70% of the wives, the birth and death years of both partners, mention of earlier or later marriages, the residences of every couple and an index of names. The provision of the maiden names make it possible to identify the husbands of sisters, daughters, and many granddaughters of immigrants, and of immigrant sisters or kinswomen.

The Hallway Trilogy
"Rapp remains a true man of the theater and a potent writer."—Time Out "To watch The Hallway Trilogy by Adam Rapp is to enter an alternate universe . . . a carnival of the desperate, the grotesque, the outrageous."—The New York Times "I knew in a single sentence that Adam was a writer the world was going to listen to for as long as he felt like writing. . . . Adam writes like nobody else, his fierce poetic power as inescapable as the doom that waits for his characters.
