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.\u003cbr\u003eMore 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 color and practical value to this delightful book.\u003cbr\u003e\"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.\" -- \u003ci\u003eChicago Sunday Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Seasons of America Past | Eric Sloane | Paperback | 9780486442204 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks I 1772495","offer_id":49590549643416,"sku":"1772495","price":174.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91Kszc21q5L.jpg?v=1785351916","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/seasons-of-america-past","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
