These are the sons and daughters of "Coronation's Duke of Earl" who starred in the Tinkhamtown video at the beginning of this thread.

Dean, awesome pup! How's she doing? Get her on birds yet? Any pics? I have a 2 1/2 year old male setter. We lost my older two a couple years ago. Shame they have such short lives.

What a great thread reading about your quest for Tinkhamtown! I've been a Corey Ford fan for at least 20 years now. I have spent quite an effort collecting his published writings, most of them signed first editions.

I too, have been searching for Tinkhamtown. I'm pretty certain it is north of Hanover near Lyme and Grafton. Right in my back yard! Hardscrabble, to the best of what I have figured out, is actually based on Freedom, NH. Many of the characters were loosely based on folks that lived in Freedom as well as Dartmouth students and Corey's long time hunting buddies. Corey's home in Freedom, "Stoneybroke", is actually on the market now.

Did you and Steve go on your trek last summer?

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the compliments on Grace - she turned 1 year old two days ago, on the 5th.
We love her a lot and she is a real sweetheart and is a bundle of energy and is really tuned in to birds.

We never were able to consummate our quest for the lost community of Tinkhamtown but it is still on the "simmer" burner and is something I still want very much to do. I hope that we find it some day or at least that we find evidence of the fieldstone foundations of their homes and barns in a location that makes sense according to Corey's writings.

Thanks for sparking this thread up again.

He looks like he just had a bath... that's the only time Grace looks that nice.
