HOWARD MANSFIELD signing and discussing TURN
AND JUMP: HOW TIME AND PLACE FELL APART . In the days before “Standard
Time” towns kept their own time pegged to the sun. With the rise of the
railroads time needed to be synchronized to make scheduling possible and the
hour no longer reflected the exact position of the sun overhead. In a series of
essays Howard examines what time has meant to us in New England, from the days
of continuous vaudeville, to Swanzey’s famous “Old Homestead” play that
depicted chores “measured by the task, not by the hour”, to the long years of
Derby’s department store in Peterborough.
