Description
This little book is devoted to remembering the "good old days" of living in the utopian community of Hopedale, Massachusetts during the 1840s and 1850s. The pleasures and hardships of life in a village devoted to re-creating civilization in a non-violent, cooperative and equitable way are examined, often humorously, through the eyes of its children. To the original "Hopedale Reminiscences" published in 1910 is added an excerpt from William F. Draper's 1909 memoir, "Recollections of a Varied Career," and materials prepared for from the Hopedale Home School reunion in 1867.
