The Warwick Woodlands or Things As They Were There Ten Years Ago is a novel written by Henry William Herbert. The book is set in the Warwick Woodlands, a forested area in upstate New York, and tells the story of a group of friends who spend their summer there. The book is a nostalgic look back at a simpler time, ten years prior to the book's publication in 1851.The main character is a young man named Harry Vernon, who spends his summers in the Warwick Woodlands with his friends. The book follows their adventures and experiences as they explore the woods, fish in the streams, and hunt for game. The story is told through Harry's eyes, and the book is filled with vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of the area.The Warwick Woodlands is also a social commentary on the changing times.
