The Berkshires are famous for their stunning beauty and the almost eerie way in which they dominate the western sector of Massachusetts. They tower over the towns in their valleys-Williamstown, Pittsfield, North Adams, Stockbridge, and Lenox among them-and affect life there in many ways. The landscape was of tremendous appeal to photographer Bill Tague, who lived on a flank of Mount Greylock. Tague possessed a unique talent: he was equally capable of creating haunting landscape images as he was of drawing out the diverse personalities of his human subjects. Between January, 1952, and his death in November, 1990, Tague produced "Eagle Eye," a weekly page of photographs, for The Berkshire Eagle. From images of Mount Greylock through the seasons to candid portrayals of faces at Tanglewood, at Lake Pontoosuc, and at the Clark Art Institute, to telling shots of Norman Rockwell and Anna Mary "Grandma" Moses, Tague's eye was so astute that his life's work constitutes a discerning mirror held up to his time and place on earth.

Residents of and seasonal visitors to the Berkshires greeted the publication of Bill Tague's Berkshires with tremendous enthusiasm in 1996. Many lifelong fans of Tague's work were delighted to view it in compiled form, and others were introduced to the majesty and vividness of his work for the first time. The editor of this volume--Tyler Resch--has worked together again with the photographer's wife--Irene Tague--to produce an all-new, second book on the region that presents more stunning photographs, many times accompanied by Tague's original captions. Bill Tague's Berkshires Volume II covers the history of the region from the 1950s through the 1980s, and highlights the human spirit and natural vitality that make the area what it is. From skiers to schoolchildren and from noble mountains to picturesque farmyards, Tague's images captured the essence of the area for over forty years.

Bill Tague's Berkshires, Volume II

<p>Founded by a famously scheming New Hampshire governor, Glastenbury struggled for over a century to break triple digits in population. A small charcoal-making industry briefly flourished after the Civil War, yet by 1920 Glastenbury counted fewer than twenty inhabitants. The end came officially in 1937, when the state, following a spirited debate, formally disincorporated the town. Yet Glastenbury s legacy lives on in Tyler Resch s lively and amusing history. Follow Resch as he chronicles the community s compelling, if always precarious, existence. From mysterious murders and curious development schemes to the township s eventual annexation by the U.S. Forest Service, Glastenbury narrates the ultimately redemptive tale of a community that lost its political status, only to gain a national forest."</p>

This book is all about the 300-foot obelisque that commemorates a critical victory in the American Revolution. The principal narrative was adapted from an article published in Vermont Life magazine in the summer of 1988 on the centennial of the construction of the Bennington Battle Monument.
