There are also some details of their personal lives.  Included are photographs of homes in Salem, MA, where Hawthorn grew up, that were built in the 17th C - houses of witchcraft fame - including the "House of Seven Gables"; a photo of "Custom House", Salem, where Hawthorne was appointed Collector of the Port in 1846; a photograph of "The Old Wayside Inn", built in the late 1600s, a tavern that Longfellow made famous in his "Tales of the Wayside Inn"; a photo of Emerson's grave in "Sleepy Hollow", just a few feet away from the graves of the Alcotts, Hawthorne, and Thoreau. All-in-all, there are 32 tipped-in photographic images, both albumen & silver gelatin, one per leaf, recto only. Images preceded by a printed caption sheet. Landscape format: 7-1/4" x 8-5/8".

A rare testimonial publication celebrating these 6 New England authors.. not found on OCLC, nor in the NUC. No records of this book on RBH. Given the lack of any institutional record, or sales record, for this volume, we posit it’s publication was done privately, in very limited numbers.
