Books with author J. T. Trowbridge

This expanded edition of The Tinkham Brothers' Tide-Mill includes the real-life story that inspired the nineteenth-century author, John Townsend Trowbridge, to write this popular juvenile novel. Through extensive original research, Richard A. Duffy describes the life and times of B.F. Woods, a nineteenth-century tide mill owner in Arlington, Massachusetts.
