Leggett, Carroll

Abstract:

The author reflected on the value that wood stoves, existing before the widespread adoption of electricity Down East during the 1940s, had for the region’s people. Leggett offered illustrations such as the better tastes of wood stove cooked foods, stories featuring family members like the author’s mother, and the important role these stoves played during holidays such as Christmas.
