Country Ways and Country Days
Description:
Outhouses. Weather vanes. Draft horses. Threshing machines. Barbed wire fences. Rural mail carriers. Gristmills. Barbershops. One-room country schools. Such objects of our vanishing rural past are today’s reminders of our country ways and country days: early home life in the country, work on the farm, how rural people kept in touch, the importance of community, and how farm folks relaxed and had fun. In ""Country Ways and Country Days"", you’ll go back in time and learn a bit about each item’s special role and its importance in country life. Noted storyteller Jerry Apps presents short essays on farming life and memories, drawn from his own experiences growing up on a small farm. These charming anecdotes are followed by brief histories of each item’s development and background. Apps’s reminiscences about the things that kept life humming on the farm and enriched the rural experience will leave you nostalgic for a time when working the land was its own reward. About the Author: Jerry Apps was born and raised on a farm in the days before electricity, central heating, or indoor plumbing. He is a former county extension agent and University of Wisconsin agriculture professor. He is the author of several other farm nostalgia and regional titles, including ""Every Farm Tells a Story"", ""Country Wisdom,"" ""Humor from the Country,"" and ""When Chores Were Done.""
