Nice long article about Warner in the Concord Monitor on Sunday Feb. 19: additional photos available online. https://www.concordmonitor.com/Warner-49525136. Only a few mistakes, such as the reason the workforce housing project failed. (watch for a letter to the Monitor).
(Note: CM website restricts access to too many articles but we have the paper copies)
Another article today Feb. 23 is about Concord teacher Silas Allard, who we believe may be the same Silas who grew up in Warner. Hi, Silas!

A Book For The Ages
by Roger Robbins
A Pulitzer Prize winner. 42 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. A Modern Library choice as one of the best non-fiction books of all time:
With a driving, turn-the-page narrative style, with character portrayals as intricate and nuanced as the best novelist, Barbara Tuchman brings the First World War to life.
In Chapter 1, "A Funeral", Barbara Tuchman writes an unforgettable first paragraph, revealing the ominous point in time when the Old World separated from the Modern World. She reveals the awful game of diplomatic "chicken" that started the war. The stunned reader watches as human folly supersedes common sense and catastrophe occurs.
