“Big house, little house, back house, barn”—this rhythmic cadence was once sung by nineteenth-century children as they played. It also portrays the four crucial components of the farms where many of them lived. The stately and beautiful connected farm buildings made by nineteenth-century New Englanders stand as of late as a living expression of a rural culture, offering insights into the individuals who made them and their agricultural way of living.
A visual delight in addition to an engaging tribute to our nineteenth-century forebears, this book has transform one of the most same old works on regional farmsteads in The usa.
