>"Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth..."
This quote does not seem to appear in Daniel Vickers' book - which, by the way, is not titled "Work in Essex County" but "Farmers and Fishermen: Two Centuries of Work in Essex County, Massachusetts, 1630–1850". Neither does the quote appear on page 98, nor anywhere else in the book.

Mentions of "wood" throughout the book: https://books.google.at/books?id=N1jUaJR5becC&pg=PA98#q=Wood
And the kicker? Whereever a guy with the last name "Wood" DID get mentioned in the book, it was William Wood, not Gordon Wood.
Clark could have torn Will to shreds then and there.
