By William Hubbell
Photographer William Hubbell has turned his lens toward New England's ubiquitous stone walls. Beginning with the basic geology of the region and why New England has so many darned rocks, he presents a chronological overview of the varying styles and methods of wall building, and includes conversations with six contemporary wall builders. The result is a surprising and refreshing look at stone walls and at the history of New England. Why are so many stone walls three feet high, give or take? Because three feet is about how high a man can lift a big stone on his own. The miles of stone walls built in central New England between 1810 and 1840, Hubbell writes, had more mass to them than the great pyramids of Egypt.

 

"I have nothing but admiration for the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century builders -- those men, women and children, Native Americans who went before us. I'm quick to say that some of them were lousy wall builders. But some of the integrity, of the sheer determination, that you can see in so many of these walls is just astounding."
