So, I wondered if they had kept journals or written memoirs, what would they have shared? What were their thoughts? What mattered most to them? What dangers did they face?

THE REMEMBERING: Of Leather & Stone is a fact-based fictional account composed of three personal journals, written as if by my ancestors nearly two hundred years ago. Compiled from decades of original research—examining historical records from the Town of Milford, Massachusetts, where they settled, along with eyewitness accounts of the people, places, and events of their lifetimes—these are their stories as they might have lived and written them.

“Life, like leather, can be stiff and unyielding, and impossible to work with. But with practice, you can learn to shape it skillfully and produce a quality life—one you can be proud of, and others will admire.

—Cornelius Collins
April, 1896”
Charles Paul Collins, THE REMEMBERING: Of Leather & Stone

“Stone, like gold, is a seductive material because it can last unchanged for thousands of years after the artisan is gone. This has deep meaning for the stone artisan, who knows his finished work is a record for future generations.

Giuseppe Ambrosini
Quincy, Massachusetts, 1891”
Charles Paul Collins, THE REMEMBERING: Of Leather & Stone

“The ability to earn a productive living,” my mother said, “inspires people with hope and dignity that handouts, though much needed and appreciated, can sometimes destroy.” It is a lesson I have never forgotten. --Cornelius Collins”
Charles Paul Collins, THE REMEMBERING: Of Leather & Stone

“. . . when I read those words again, I realized that my father’s journal was meant to be more than just a historical artifact—it is the cornerstone of a living legacy—an enduring family heritage where each generation can add their stories to keep “The Remembering” of how it was with us in our time.
