'Mid the New England hills, and beneath the shadow of their dim old woods, is a running brook whose deep waters were not always as merry and frolicsome as now; for years before our story opens, pent up and impeded in their course, they dashed angrily against their prison walls, and turned the creaking wheel of an old sawmill with a sullen, rebellious roar. The mill has gone to decay, and the sturdy men who fed it with the giant oaks of the forest are sleeping quietly in the village graveyard. The waters of the mill-pond, too, relieved from their confinement, leap gayly over the ruined dam, tossing for a moment in wanton glee their locks of snow-white foam, and then flowing on, half fearfully as it were, through the deep gorge overhung with the hemlock and the pine, where the shadows of twilight ever lie, and where the rocks frown gloomily down upon the stream below, which, emerging from the darkness, loses itself at last in the waters of the gracefully winding Chicopee, and leaves far behind the moss-covered walls of what is familiarly known as the "Old House by the Mill.
Uncle Martin was a man with a vivid memory and a talent for storytelling and rhyme. During the first forty years of his life, while living and caring for his parents, he absorbed facts about his ancestors and enjoyed passing those stories on when the opportunity arose. His niece now gathers those stories to share with others, both family and otherwise. A greater portion of the work covers the years of the Great Depression in the state of Kansas when Martin was growing up with his brothers and sisters.
