This book is a sequel to Williamstown and Williams College: Explorations in Local History (2018). It is a collection of microstudies, or microhistories, each of them focused on a single narrowly-defined topic in the local history of Williamstown and its most notable local institution, Williams College. Griffin writes clearly and engagingly about places, events of the town and college from the 18th century through the 60s, and remarkable people. The essays are arranged in three sections: the history of the town; topics that involve both town and college; and episodes in the history of the college. Within each section the essays are arranged in rough chronological order. Readers with a particular interest are invited to dive in anywhere.
