A great way to remember a time in danger of being forgotten Sep 05, 2006
The stories in this book provide fantastic insight into the difficulties and rewards of life on the rural farms of Nova Scotia a century ago. To read them is to be transported back to a time before wheelchairs were an option, and when school was only something children attended when they took a break from the harsh realities of life on a farm. It is a reminder that land was not always tamed by machines nor life simplified by automation, and that love alone got people through hard times. Lives were so intricately tied to the land that no matter how far one traveled, one could never be completely separated from it. This book takes you deep inside the memories of a man who lived this life at that time, and is absolutely captivating. I highly recommend it.
