Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C. A. Stephens' classic tale of old country life in Maine, New England during the late 19th century is brought to reader in this edition which includes the original illustrations. Steeped in nostalgia for an America long since departed, this novel is full of the virtues and sights common to American country life before modern inventions such as the motor car and the telephone made their appearance. Family values underpin the entire society, with the land around the Old Squire's Farm vividly described as quiet and rural. Sometimes likened to diaries for their episodic structure, the stories of C. A. Stephens remain as pleasant and enlightening today as they ever were. The family depicted in this book have experienced tragedy; the fathers of the children of the story having perished in the American Civil War, hence it being just the children and their grandparents. As well as being a good and wholesome story, When Life Was Young at the Old Farm in Maine provides a glimpse at life in the rural United States during a much simpler and more pastoral era. The children enjoy their adventures in the country, experiencing events such as the cattle show, a trip to the village photographer, and fishing in the local water holes, while their grandparents are eager to teach them to grow up to be responsible adults.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nell Beverly, Farmer: A Story of Farm Life Each year The Rural New-Yorker aims to give its readers some little gift that will prove both useful and enduring. In this way we have sent out thousands of climbing rose bushes. They were, of necessity small when they left us, yet planted and nursed by loving hands, many of them have spread over country homes where they now cling, strong and beautiful, a constant reminder of good will. In the same way we have given books, such as "The Business Hen," "The Farmer's Garden" and "The Rural Cook Book." We try to make these books, like the vines and shrubs, useful and enduring, so that they will be kept for constant reference and use. Now we come with a book of a different character, in the hope that it, like our other gifts, will bring a message that will prove permanently useful. This year we wanted to give our readers a story, not one that would simply afford amusement, but one that would take up boldly and plainly some hard problem of farm life, which the plain people of the country have been forced to work out. The quickest and easiest way to obtain a story is to go to some professional writer with a plot and engage him to fill it in. This is what we at first expected to do. The objection to this plan is the fact that while such a writer would, no doubt, prepare a more polished literary production, his characters would be imaginary. Not having lived them such a man could not feel in his heart and soul the scenes which he attempted to portray. I have always believed that there are among the readers of The Rural New-Yorker men and women who have lived strong and self-sacrifking lives, who therefore know what it means to struggle with real farm problems, and who are also capable of giving their message to the world. We have found that just such flesh-and-blood experience put in forcible and homely language is what our people appreciate in other things, and we believe it is what they want in a farm story. With this idea in mind, we offered a prize for the best story of farm life. Some 60 persons competed and after a careful and painstaking review this story, "Nell Beverly, Farmer," was selected as nearest our needs. I will not anticipate the reading, yet I want to say a few words about this story. The captious critic may say that it is crude in places, and not highly polished. He might also, with truth, say the same of the daily lives and conversation of thousands of plain people who work our farms and maintain our farm homes. What I like about this book is that it is a true flesh-and-blood picture of plain farm people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Away down East in the Pine Tree State, there is a lake dearer to my heart than all the other waters of this fair earth, for its shores were the scenes of my boyhood, when Life was young and the world a romance still unread.Dearer to the heart;—for then glowed that roseate young joy and faith in life and its grand possibilities; that hope and confidence that great things can be done and that the doing of them will prove of high avail. For such is ever our natural, normal first view of life; the clear young brain's first vision of this wondrous bright universe of earth and sky; the first picture on the sentient plate of consciousness, and the true one, before error blurs and evil dims it; a joy and a faith in life which as yet, on this still imperfect earth of ours, comes but once, with youth.

Download or read book They Called Us Girls written by Kathleen Courtenay Stone and published by Cynren Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In mid-twentieth-century America, women faced a paradox. Thanks to their efforts, World War II production had been robust, and in the peace that followed, more women worked outside the home than ever before, even dominating some professions. Yet the culture, from politicians to corporations to television shows, portrayed the ideal woman as a housewife. Many women happily assumed that role, but a small segment bucked the tide—women who wanted to use their talents differently, in jobs that had always been reserved for men. In They Called Us Girls: Stories of Female Ambition from Suffrage to Mad Men, author Kathleen Stone meets seven of these unconventional women. In insightful, personalized portraits that span a half-century, Kathleen weaves stories of female ambition, uncovering the families, teachers, mentors, and historical events that led to unexpected paths. What inspired these women, and what can they teach women and girls today?
Download or read book Birth Death and a Tractor written by Kelly Payson-Roopchand and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once there were no stone walls. For the fiercely idealistic Yankee homesteader, a small family farm was worth fighting for, and the rocky soil yielded far more than walls. Cleared and plowed, it fed a family and provided a living. Oxen gave way to horses, horses to tractors, and still the farm persisted and the family persevered, each generation overcoming the challenges of their day. Two hundred years later, the farm, ever generous in its rewards, has not changed; but society has shifted, forgetting its connection to the land that nourishes us. It is time we remembered. Birth, Death and a Tractor is the story of a small family farm in Somerville, Maine, from its settling in the early 1800s to its perilous transfer to a new farm family in 2008. Chronicling the history of seven generations, it is a reminder of the role small farms have played in our national and family histories, and a challenge to find innovative ways to re-connect our communities to this rich but threatened resource.
