Book excerpt: The fourth volume in Earl Brechlin's successful Bygone... series of old-postcard books focuses on how our grandparents and great-grandparents had fun in the outdoors: hiking, canoeing, visiting parks and natural wonders, communing with nature at remote mountain resorts, and roughing it at fishing and hunting camps. In addition, some of these old postcards show the serious business of the backcountry: logging camps, early dams, the rail lines that pierced the wilderness. Short, informative descriptions accompany the 100 antique postcard views, which cover all of New England, from northern Maine to Rhode Island.

Download or read book Growing Up Backwoods Southern written by Philip E Burrow, Sr and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-26 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Baby Boomer" author and newspaper publisher Philip Burrow takes a heartfelt, and sometimes painful, nostalgic look at being raised in the 50's by his grandparents at a small, backwoods farm in rural North Carolina. In this first-person account, he also delves into the life and family pottery business of his great-grandfather, William Henry Chriscoe, one of the early potters of the modern day Pottery Mecca of Seagrove, NC. Many nostalgic photos of the Chriscoe family are included, some dating back to the early 1900's. You will enjoy this book if: - You fondly remember your aging grandparents, great-uncles, and great-aunts - You were raised by grandparents or someone other than your parents - You like reading of a time when life was slower - You grew up on a small farm - You grew up in the country - You like reading about the "Good old days" - You suffered abuse as a child - You are a parent considering divorce - You are interested in living off the land - You are an "Old-time" Southerner - You appreciate the "Self-sufficiency" lifestyle - You are interested in early North Carolina pottery - You've never shucked a bushel of corn - You've never raised chickens - You've never castrated a pig - You've never sat on an outdoor privy seat and gotten a cold butt in freezing weather - You've never had the run of a home and farm with goats, mules, cows, dogs, cats, kids, and other grand-kids -- a trusting home where relatives and farm neighbors popped in unannounced almost daily by just opening a generally unlocked door. Being raised by grandparents of another generation was an experience to never be forgotten, according to the author. But sometimes being shuffled back and forth between a mother and grandparents was painful and fraught with mixed emotions and feelings. Nevertheless, to have had "a foot in two generations," was a privilege today savored by the author.

Download or read book Rayton written by Theodore Roberts and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samson's Mill Settlement had, for the past fifteen years, prided itself on its absolute respectability; and then came Reginald Baynes Rayton, with his unfailing good humor, his riding breeches, and constant "haw-haw"-and corrupted the community. So it happened that five representative men of the settlement, and Mr. Rayton, sat and played poker one October night in Rayton's snug living room. They had done it before-only last week, in fact-but the sense of guilty novelty had not yet worn off. Only Rayton and old Wigmore were absolutely at their ease. White beans had to do in the place of the usual chips. The standard of play was very moderate-a one-cent ante and a five-cent limit-but it seemed reckless to some of those representative citizens. "Jane questioned me pretty sharp, to-night," said Benjamin Samson, the owner of the mill that sawed lumber and ground buckwheat for the whole Beaver Brook valley; "but I give her a bagful of evasive answers. Yes, sir-ee! I guess she suspicioned something. She's been kinder expectin' me to fall from grace ever since she first married me." "Haw-haw!" brayed Mr. Rayton. "Mrs. Samson is a clever woman. She knows a bad egg, Benjamin, without having to break the shell." The others chuckled.
