By Susan Cheever

A short history of the intellectual capital of the USA, Concord Massachusetts when Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Louisa Alcott, and others made it their home.

Cheever have a light and breeze style, makes for easy reading. Enjoyed this book, although I don’t think anybody would take this book to be the definitively bio of the time. But it was a fun high-level overview.
