Reviews for An American Harvest: How One Family Moved From Dirt-Poor Farming To A Better Life In The Early 1900s
In the tradition of the Foxfire Series, awonderfully authentic swatch ofAmericanaranging from tobacco raising to hog butchering, old-time revivals to community corn-shucking, and clannish feuds to mutual help in times of need . . . a loving evocation of a hard way to live. I loved these stories.
