Dennis G. Pregent’s Born in the Berkshires focuses on biographical vignettes for thirty-five influential citizens who keep their towns of Adams, North Adams, and Williamstown productive, who innovate, and who make every day better. Meet a breeder of rare Haflinger horses, a barber who gave 120,000 haircuts over sixty-four years, and the owner of a lunch counter that has been in business nearly a hundred years and served over two million hotdogs. Get introduced to coaches, local historians, and a family of auto mechanics that served drivers on the Mohawk Trail beginning in 1920.
