Amos Congdon

← Home

Amos believed man’s purpose is to harvest the earth. At the end of his life, he held to the idea that a nurturing relationship with the earth is God’s will for man.

But for all his heavy thoughts he’d be the first to see the joke and laugh. Tell fond memories of school in the Pleasant Valley with the parsonage on one side and the library on the other. The sound of the racing river out back.

How sweet the wild grapes were then, when the fox runs traced the land, the stone where the hunter sat.

The Congdon saw mill has been a sanctuary for me. It has allowed me to go back in time “as best as can be done" and connected me to a rural American spirit of which I wanted to be a part.
