Lincoln takes the reader on a visual journey through
the history of Lincoln-Manville, Albion, Lime Rock,
Quinnville, Lonsdale, Saylesville, Fairlawn, and Central
Falls. Author Charles E. Savoie brings the history of Lincoln
to life, from its early settlement to the present, through
hundreds of rare vintage photographs. Included are the
famous stone-ender, Colonial, Federal, and Victorian homes
and buildings; vanished farming and homestead scenes;
blacksmiths, quarrymen, and mill workers; and grocers and
musicians. Notable and everyday people are depicted as
they worked, played, and lived their lives in this historical
