Description

Old Plymouth Trails invites listeners on a wandering journey along the rugged coastline and whispering woods that greeted the Pilgrims centuries ago. The author blends vivid natural history with the lingering echo of early settlers, painting scenes of storm‑tossed surf, granite boulders, and mist‑laden marshes. Readers will feel the salt spray on their cheeks as each chapter unfolds a new path—whether it’s a pine‑lined lane, a hidden brook, or a quiet pond at sunrise.

Interwoven with lyrical sketches of wildlife—from soaring geese to shy woodchucks—the essays also recall the cadence of old New England life, from summer fishing trips to winter fires. Hand‑picked illustrations accompany the narration, enhancing the sense of place and time. Whether you’re a history buff, a nature lover, or simply seeking a reflective escape, the collection offers a gentle, immersive portrait of Plymouth’s enduring landscape.
