STEP back in time to the Turn of the Twentieth century world of photographer and artist Glenduen Ladd, born in 1891. Over 70 images offer an intimate view of her remote home at New England's northern tip and capture the peace and optimism of her era. These images, along with related archives, bring to vibrant life the farmers, woodsmen, and tradespeople whose courage and strength of character brought civilization to the deep northern forests of New Hampshire and Vermont. Turn of the Twentieth also provides intriguing footnotes to this region's history-the rescue of a Revolutionary soldier's grave and those of other early settlers in a Canadian border hamlet; the evangelical movement of the 1800s, tales of frontiersmen reminiscent of James Fenimore Cooper's Hawkeye; and a peek at the White Mountains grand hotels. "By rediscovering the photography and artwork of Glenduen Ladd and publishing this lovely collection of her work, Susan Zizza has accomplished an important task: she has re-created the life of a small, vibrant North Country community, in all its richness. It's all here: hard work on the farm and in the woods, the busy life of the village, family celebrations, church history, even the Gibson Girl fashions of the day. Through the life of this one artist, Zizza has given us the life of her town and her milieu. It is a remarkable achievement." -Tom Slayton, Editor emeritus, Vermont Life Magazine "Susan Zizza has unearthed buried treasure in the photography of Glenduen Ladd...a window into the most pivotal decades of North Country history. Turn of the Twentieth is both a skillful survey of this work and a moving portrait of the unusual woman behind the lens." -Richard Adams Carey, author of Against the Tide: Fate of the New England Fisherman
