There is something so extraordinary simple yet divinely stated in the art work of Frédéric Back. Crac! makes me feel the extremes of joy and sadness within fifteen minutes. It makes me smile one moment and cry the next.
Stories of family and ancestors who lived and worked in Cohoes (textile and garment workers, butchers and barbers), Waterford (canalers), Whitehall (farmers and canalers), Port Henry (iron miners and Civil War soldiers), Champlain (canalers and farmers) and other towns along the Champlain Canal in New York State with some diversions to the places they emigrated from....Quebec (landless farmers, shoemakers, sailors, soldiers), Acadia (more farmers), and even Cornwall, England (tin miners).
