Summary "Sketches from Concord and Appledore" by Frank Preston Stearns is a collection of reminiscences and reflections written during the late 19th century. In this work, Stearns invites readers to explore the lives and contributions of notable figures associated with Concord, Massachusetts, such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louisa May Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and others, providing insights into their personalities and the cultural landscape of the time. The opening of the book presents a vivid picture of Concord as it existed "thirty years ago,” describing its scenery, community life, and its historical significance as the site of a revolutionary confrontation. Stearns highlights the rural charm of the area, including its natural beauty and quaint town life, and begins to weave in references to influential literary figures, emphasizing the moments that define Concord's rich intellectual environment. The narrative establishes a tone of nostalgia as it sets the stage for deeper explorations of the influential individuals who shaped American literature and thought during a transformative period in history.
