But then everything changed, as richerfarmland and gold were discovered in the west. And many of the settlers chased their fortunes elsewhere. Towns like Liver more disappeared as quickly as they had been formed. Slowly, the trees of New England grew around the ruins and reclaimed the land. This new forest was very different.
