History truly has a way of coming full circle. John’s New Hartford, New York home is more than 240 years old and sits on land once purchased from George Washington, one of the most revered figures of the American Revolution. Even more remarkably, John attended an estate sale at this very property in 2018, only to return the following year as its owner. His story is filled with moments where past and present quietly intersect, proving just how deeply his life is intertwined with history. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"A Primitive Place","offers":[{"title":"One-Year New eBook Subscription (Exp. 0227)","offer_id":53895792460060,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Two-Year New eBook Subscription (Exp. 0228)","offer_id":53895792492828,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/5451\/2156\/files\/Front_Cover-15.png?v=1774313343","url":"https:\/\/aprimitiveplacemagazine.com\/products\/i-am-a-new-subscriber-start-my-ebook-digital-subscription-with-the-summer-2026-issue-releasing-in-may","provider":"A Primitive Place","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
