Sermons in Stone is a surprising and illuminating history of stone walls, a story that begins in the Ice Age, and that has been shaped by the fencing dilemmas of the 19th century, by conflicts with Native Americans and colonists over land use, by American waves of immigration and suburbanization. "In the woods of New England," says Allport, "are the ruins of this areas agricultural past, the remains of 18th, 19th and even 20th century farms, so recently abandoned that it is amazing how little of them is left. The fields have returned to forest; their barns and houses have rotted. Indeed, almost all that is left is the stone structures: foundations, old wells, and mile after mile of stone walls, criss-crossing the land, marking old boundaries and pastures, delinating cow runs, and climbing the sides of the steepest hills."
