Accurately rendered by A. G. Smith, 43 ready-to-color illustrations depict a wide variety of farm activities in mid-nineteenth-century America.\u003cbr\u003eBased on scenes re-created on the Firestone Farm at historic Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan, the drawings include authentically detailed views of kitchen chores (churning butter, preparing foods); seasonal occupations (shearing sheep, mowing hay, gathering pumpkins, \"harvesting\" and \"sugaring off\" maple syrup), as well as plowing, planting, caring for livestock, splitting firewood, raising a barn, and many other activities.\u003cbr\u003ePeter H. Cousins, Curator of Agriculture at Henry Ford Museum \u0026amp; Greenfield Village, has written an informative introduction and provided fact-filled captions for this entertaining and educational view of life in bygone rural America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 11 x 6.54 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 1990\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51756106252576,"sku":"9780486261485","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/97331e4d40f29f406e9df081174d0332.webp?v=1780074345","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/old-fashioned-farm-life-coloring-book-nineteenth-century-activities-on-the-firestone-farm-at-greenfield-village-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
