Download or read book Being Neighbours written by Catharine Anne Wilson and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2022-10-28 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, farm families have shared work and equipment with their neighbours to complete labour-intensive, time-sensitive, and time-consuming tasks. They benefitted materially and socially from these voluntary, flexible, loosely structured networks of reciprocal assistance, making neighbourliness a vital but overlooked aspect of agricultural change. Being Neighbours takes us into the heart of neighbourhood – the set of people near and surrounding the family – through an examination of work bees in southern Ontario from 1830 to 1960. The bee was a special event where people gathered to work on a neighbour’s farm like bees in a hive for a wide variety of purposes, including barn raising, logging, threshing, quilting, turkey plucking, and apple paring. Drawing on the diaries of over one hundred men and women, Catharine Wilson takes readers into families’ daily lives, the intricacies of their labour exchange, and their workways, feasts, and hospitality. Through the prism of the bee and a close reading of the diaries, she uncovers the subtle social politics of mutual dependency, the expectations neighbours had of each other, and their ways of managing conflict and crisis. This book adds to the literature on cooperative work that focuses on evaluating its economic efficiency and complicates histories of capitalism that place communal values at odds with market orientation. Beautifully written, engaging, and richly detailed and illustrated, Being Neighbours reveals the visceral textures of rural life.

Download or read book Boiling Off written by John Hodgkins and published by Down East Books. This book was released on 2020-02-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1964 three cousins tapped three thousand sugar maples deep in the Maine woods. They called themselves Jackson Mountain Maple Farm. Boiling Off is the story of making Maine maple syrup commercially in Temple, Maine, for fifty-some years, and how a thirty-year technology revolution beginning in the 1980s changed the face of Maine sugaring forever. Woven into the story of Jackson Mountain Maple Farm is the history of Maine sugaring beginning in Farmington in 1781, when Stephen Titcomb boiled off the first official pure Maine maple syrup in a cast iron kettle. Boiling Off tracks the evolution of sugaring technology from Titcomb’s kettle to reverse osmosis and heat exchangers; follows sap gathering techniques from buckets and oxen-drawn drays to plastic tubing and vacuum pumps; and records production in Maine from 8,000 gallons of maple syrup in 1985 to 709,000 gallons in 2017. The story describes the subtleties of syrup flavor, how it is properly graded, and the art of making award-winning maple syrup. It also reveals who produces Maine maple syrup, where it is harvested, and how L. L. Bean first came to stock it on their shelves.

Download or read book Lancaster written by The Lancaster Historical Society and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Page of Petersham, Massachusetts, sent his sons to the wilderness of the Upper Cohoss region in 1764 after obtaining a grant from Gov. Benning Wentworth. So it was that Lancaster became the first settlement north of Haverhill. Set in a valley surrounded by mountains and located along the Connecticut River, Lancaster has upheld its old New England atmosphere. As the shire town of Coos County, Lancaster has been home to the Lancaster Fair--featuring horse racing, ox pulls, 4-H and agricultural exhibits, and thrill rides--since 1870. The arrival of the railroad following the Civil War made Lancaster a tourist destination, but the community has remained primarily a residential town with only a few small industries such as P.J. Noyes Laboratories, the Thompson Manufacturing Company, Marshall's Carriage Shop, and assorted merchants. Although small, Lancaster has had a big impact on the state and nation, producing two governors in Jared. W. Williams and Chester B. Jordan. Lancaster highlights the men and women who farmed the land and took part in the industrial and cultural growth of the town.
