From sugaring-time, spring plowing, and June weddings, to strawberry picking, weeding season, the fall harvest, and cider-making, his winning book recalls the rustic endeavors of not so long ago, when the time of year determined when a tree was to be chopped down, fences rebuilt, and tree stumps pulled out.\u003cbr\u003eMore than 70 of the author's own pen-and-ink drawings charmingly depict cider mills and presses, sleds, pumps and wells, axes, plows, and other elements of America's rural heritage. A section of old recipes and household hints adds additional color and practical value to this delightful book.\u003cbr\u003eAnyone with an eye for antiques and a yen to know America from the roots up will treasure this detailed record of seasonal life in new England. -- \u003ci\u003eChicago Sunday Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e\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 03\/16\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486442204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.16h x 8.40w x 0.34d","brand":"Eric Sloane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637799612572,"sku":"9780486442204","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_691f4029-882f-4d88-b32b-1cf671aeb104.jpg?v=1603845721","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-seasons-of-america-past-9780486442204","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
