Description

Born in the Berkshires is a series of brief biographies of citizens from the Berkshire area of Western Massachusetts. These people have shaped their immediate landscape and even affected the world beyond. These citizens include a former governor who raises cattle, the longest serving mayor in Massachusetts, and the septuagenarian missionary who spends half her year in dangerous regions of Africa assisting orphans and widows. In each story, there's a little genealogy, a bit of everyday life, and more than a glimpse of what makes these citizens special in their communities.
