""The book has a real reference value, but it will also offer ... hours of enjoyable reading."" - Library JournalFrom flying kites in early spring to hunting and fishing during the glorious days of Indian summer, author Eric Sloane takes readers through a year's activities as he applies his reverent touch to yet another fascinating aspect of early American life. 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.More 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 colour and practical value to this delightful book.""Anyone 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."" - Chicago Sunday Tribune
