Excerpt from Neighbors of Yesterday The Adirondack farmers and lumbermen were a shrewd, kindly, simple people, bound together bya characteristic clannishness that gave them the feeling that they were a race apart from the dwell ers in towns. They had little subtlety and they were not progressive. Life moved in a rut for them; they were content with what they knew and what they had, and resented the intrusion of nov elty and change. Once a native, always a native held good. Not by kindness or generosity, or long residence among them, could a city man ingratiate himself into the genuine warmth of their hearts. Only those whose birthright was a low-roofed farm house or a log shanty could speak the language of their souls. As recently as twenty-five years ago there were settlements in the North foods where manners and customs were untouched by modernity; where the dye pot was still in existence; where flannel and rag-carpets were woven on hand looms, and the spinning wheel hummed throughout the long winter evenings.
