This was the line that connected Taunton and Fall River. Photos of historic sites and long-gone buildings and landscapes abound, both in the text and in the many ads for local firms that fill these pages. The book is in its original soft covers, but has been cleverly “rebound” in cardboard covers to protect it. This is one of the more unusual “Picturesque and Historic Scenes” publications.
