Parades tell us something important about American culture and
almost every place has a parade tradition. The Best Ever! explores
this tradition as enacted in the small cities and towns of New
England, events that at once celebrated the skeleton of the
American Story and amplified both the distinctive regional and the
broader national cultures. Meticulously documented and lavishly
illustrated with nearly 300 photographs, The Best Ever! offers
never-before-seen pictures of actual parades, including floats and
banners that have mostly disappeared and ranging from the Federal
Ship carried in the 1788 Ratification parade at New Haven,
Connecticut, to 1940 when the parade tradition largely halted at
the onset of WWII. Copublished with Old Sturbridge Village.

Nylander provides intimate details about preparing dinner, spinning
and weaving textiles, washing and ironing laundry, planning a
social outing, and exchanging food and services. Probing behind the
