Accurately rendered by A. G. Smith, 43 ready-to-color illustrations depict a wide variety of farm activities in mid-nineteenth-century America.\u003cbr\u003eBased on scenes re-created on the Firestone Farm at historic Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan, the drawings include authentically detailed views of kitchen chores (churning butter, preparing foods); seasonal occupations (shearing sheep, mowing hay, gathering pumpkins, \"harvesting\" and \"sugaring off\" maple syrup), as well as plowing, planting, caring for livestock, splitting firewood, raising a barn, and many other activities.\u003cbr\u003ePeter H. Cousins, Curator of Agriculture at Henry Ford Museum \u0026amp; Greenfield Village, has written an informative introduction and provided fact-filled captions for this entertaining and educational view of life in bygone rural America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486261485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 6.54w x 0.22d","brand":"A.
