This deluxe hardcover edition is a keepsake treasure.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>For his fifteenth birthday in 1805, Noah Blake received a little leather-bound diary. This reprint of his actual journal offers modern readers a charming glimpse of a vanished era through the eyes of a nineteenth-century farm boy. Eric Sloane--a distinguished historian, author, and artist--has expanded Noah Blake's daily entries with a fascinating explanatory narrative and 72 delightful drawings.<br>Hailed by <i>Library Journal</i> as "informative and nostalgic," this unique book features descriptions and drawings of such common chores as making nails, building a bridge, splitting shingles, spring plowing, and maple-sugaring, along with the construction of an entire backwoods farm. The result is a remarkable window onto the customs and preoccupations of rural New England two centuries ago.
