The Berkshires Gone By - Episode 56 - In the Words of Harry Messenger

We can walk inside their homes and touch things they once owned, but it's very rarely that we get to know the thoughts of the average folks who were here generations before us. But thanks to the writing habit of a young boy growing up in the Berkshires, we can look through a window into the past. This is the journal of Harry Messenger.
