Overview

Around Burnt Hills offers a unique glimpse into the history of this Saratoga County, New York, community and evokes a nostalgia for the way things used to be. Join Katherine Q. Briaddy in her second Images of America tribute to the people and places of Ballston. Discover an era preserved through the advent of photography and the pieces of history saved by those with an affinity for memories of yesteryear. This volume is made up of a series of love letters found in the attic of a Burnt Hills home that reveal much about the heritage of the town. They were written between 1926 and 1931, and the engaging stories within them complement the carefully preserved images found in Around Burnt
Hills. All aspects of life are covered, from schools to Prohibition to politics and beyond.
