Dam Foolishness is a narrative that incorporates a series of short stories into a cohesive tale about life growing up in small town America. Anyone whose origins are rooted in small town America will likely recognize, or be reminded of, characters resembling those written about in this book.
The author's hometown of Carthage, New York, tucked away in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, embraces no unique or remarkable attributes that would distinguish it from thousands of such hamlets all across America. Carthage is a village that reached its maturity in the late nineteenth century. It is a place that was ignored in the post- WWII suburbanization boom, bypassed by superhighways, drained of its young for lack of opportunity, and crippled by the movement of its industry to southern climes.
It is precisely because of this history, and the continued migration of its youth, that a cadre of expatriates wistfully remembers the quaintness of their hometown and the people among whom they lived.
