520    "The Eastern States Agricultural and Industrial Exposition
       was founded more than a century ago to promote the 
       agricultural and industrial development of the eastern 
       states. Held at the fairgrounds in West Springfield, 
       Massachusetts, the inaugural event was the National Dairy 
       Show in 1916, followed by what would become known as 'The 
       Big E', the combined state fair of the six New England 
       states: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, 
       Rhode Island, and Vermont. Weathering floods, hurricanes, 
       the Great Depression, and two world wars, it is currently 
       one of the largest fairs in North America, with an 
       attendance of over 1.3 million fairgoers in 2015. With 
       photographs spanning the past century from exposition 
       archives, area residents, and his own collection, author 
       David Cecchi presents a fascinating visual history of what
       he refers to as the fair." -- Page 4 of cover.
