ADAMS, SAMUEL HOPKINS. Grandfather Stories.New York: Random House 1955. Book of the Month Club Edition. Hardbound 8vo (8.25 inches tall) 312 pages. Description: Dust jacket design by Hollis Holland. The author re-creates the wonder of growing up in Upstate New York in the 1880s. These anecdotes, spanning the towns and hamlets of the old Erie Canal, range broadly from lusty tales of the ''canawlers'' themselves to the leisured living of Rochester's Third Ward. They tell of infant days of baseball, of witchcraft on the water. With Grandfather, we travel through archaic saloons, the homes of the gentry and meet members of the Underground Railroad, and daring performers like Sam Patch. BINDING/CONDITION: cloth binding -- light blue with green at the spine; a Very Good+ book with a Good dust jacket; the jacket has the letter ''H'' on the spine, and the spine is faded, otherwise Very Good. ISBN: B000LBZXCS
