The Berkshires have been famous throughout history for their stunning beauty and their eerie dominance over western Massachusetts. Towering over the towns of Williamstown, Pittsfield, Stockbridge, and others, these mountains--home to Tanglewood, Lake Pontoosuc, and the Clark Art Institute--are alive with haunting images.

The Berkshires are famous for their stunning beauty and the almost eerie way in which they dominate the western sector of Massachusetts. They tower over the towns in their valleys-Williamstown, Pittsfield, North Adams, Stockbridge, and Lenox among them-and affect life there in many ways. The landscape was of tremendous appeal to photographer Bill Tague, who lived on a flank of Mount Greylock. Tague possessed a unique talent: he was equally capable of creating haunting landscape images as he was of drawing out the diverse personalities of his human subjects. Between January, 1952, and his death in November, 1990, Tague produced "Eagle Eye," a weekly page of photographs, for The Berkshire Eagle. From images of Mount Greylock through the seasons to candid portrayals of faces at Tanglewood, at Lake Pontoosuc, and at the Clark Art Institute, to telling shots of Norman Rockwell and Anna Mary "Grandma" Moses, Tague's eye was so astute that his life's work constitutes a discerning mirror held up to his time and place on earth.

Randy Trabold was the chief photographer for the North Adams Transcript from 1935 until he retired in 1979. Randy Trabold's Northern Berkshire County documents his formidable capacity to record the pulse of the northern Berkshire area-from tragedy to laughter and from the bizarre to the incredibly beautiful. While the book features familiar landmarks, such as North Adams, Williamstown, the Mohawk Trail, and Mount Greylock, it also takes a tour of the region's beautiful landscape, revisits the Fall Foliage Festival, and explores the frustrations and humor of Berkshire winters.
