When Cori Urban of Millers Falls called me, she said she had a cookbook, ''The Road to Good Food,'' which was published in 1935 by the Board of Organized Work of Franklin County Public Hospital. It had belonged to the late Evelyn Crosby of Bloomfield, Conn., formerly of Greenfield.
''We called her Aunt Evelyn because she was a close friend of ours. My mother and I were cleaning out her house when we found the book,'' Urban said, and she thought it would make a nice column item for me.
And there it is, with a drawing of Greenfield's Main Street when it was lined with trees, close together on each side of the street. There are interesting sketches throughout the book, even one of a covered bridge by famed artist Stephen Maniatty of Deerfield.
The book must have sold well, because a first printing was in June 1935 with second printing in November 1935.
