Stone walls tell nothing less than the story of how New England was formed, and in Robert Thorson's hands they live and breathe. Millions of years ago, New England's stones belonged to ancient mountains thrust up by prehistoric collisions between continents. Buried again over centuries by forest and soil buildup, the stones gradually worked their way back to the surface, only to become impediments to the farmers cultivating the land in the eighteenth century, who piled them into "linear landfills," a place to hold the stones.

This book was a thorough and enjoyable history of one of New England's most defining physical features-- its vast collection of old stone walls. While admittedly a niche interest, I would gladly recommend this book to anyone interested in the geologic or agricultural history of New England, as well as to those with a general interest in the region's history.
