Talk:Brook Farm

wrong image: NOT the famous Brook Farm in Massachusetts
(Please help fix this erroneous image file.)

This image: is not from the famous BROOK FARM in Massachusetts. It is an image of "Pond Field Farm" in East Chester, New York.

This image is from this book:
 * http://archive.org/details/brookfarmamusing00lond
 * Brook Farm: the amusing and memorable of American country life (1859)
 * Publisher: London, Wertheim, Macintosh, and Hunt
 * Language: English
 * Call number: 1570336

The book describes the location thus:

A reviewer describes the book: "This book is by James Bolton, son of Robert Bolton, who owned the Pondfield Farm, in what is now Bronxville, NY. It has nothing to do with the Brook Farm community in Massechusetts. It is a memorial to the family life lived on Pondfield Farm in the early 1800's. The family also purchased 30 acres in what is now Pelham, NY and built the Bolton Priory there, the first example of neo-gothic architecture in the US, built in 1838."

This source explains that the book title is fictitious:

Margaret Fuller youngest brother James Lloyd at Brook Farm
Margaret Fuller had a youngest brother James Lloyd who was at Brook Farm. Visiting him was part of the reason she would have visited there; this seems worth mentioning in the articles (sites.google.com/site/margaretfullerandthedial/fuller-s-family).-71.174.183.177 (talk) 21:44, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
