Rolling gently across the western end of Massachusetts Berkshire County looks east over all of New England and west toward the Hudson River Valley. It is for their beauty in all seasons that these hills and dales and small, welcoming communities are most prized. A world traveler raised in England, Stephen G. Donaldson still sees the Midlands and Cotswolds in his mind's eye when he ventures out of his studio in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, and in his work the Berkshires are revealed as nothing less than paradise. From abandoned mills to working farms, from the Connecticut border to the verge of Vermont, from the dead of winter into the full glory of autumn, her is one of New England's and America's great treasures captured in 187 photographs spread throughout 144 pages.

From the early days of Revolutionary fervor and industrial enterprise to today's tourism, many chilling stories remain. A lost girl haunts a cemetery in Washington, and mysterious spirits still perform at Tanglewood. From the ghostly halls of the Houghton Mansion to the eerie events at the Hoosac Tunnel, residents and visitors alike have felt fear and awe in these hills, telling tales of shadow figures, disembodied voices and spectral trains. Author Robert Oakes, who has given ghost tours at The Mount in Lenox for more than a decade, leads this spirited journey through history."--Page 4 of cover.
