With Somerset, the first pictorial history of the town ever created, resident historian James E. Bradbury has created a nostalgic look at his home from the Civil War to the 1960s. The book focuses on the people who have made Somerset what it is today--from shipbuilders and seafarers to iron workers and trolley car men. Somerset tells the story of a variety of residents and their contributions to the town's rich history. It presents the tale of Clifford Holland, a Somerset man who built the world's first successful vehicular tunnel between New York and New Jersey. Also featured is Shirley May France, a town resident who, at age seventeen, attempted unsuccessfully to swim the daunting English Channel. Less well-known but equally important civic-minded citizens of Somerset also appear in Bradbury's work--like Dr. Frank Morrill, proud deliverer of over one thousand babies in his sixty-one years of service to Somerset and Fall River.
