“To know New England well, one must know its stone walls,” writes the author of this authoritative paean to the structures he calls the “signatures of rural New England.” There were once approximately 240,000 miles of stone walls in New England, and Thorson, a professor of geology and geophysics at the University of Connecticut, combines natural history and human history as he tells the story of the walls and how they were built.
