Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an autobiography of a man who left Philadelphia life to run a farm in New England. In his memoir, the author recounts his hilarious mishaps, the friendships he formed, and the rich history of his adopted town. Despite being a city man, the author brings his business acumen and self-reliance to his farming life, and his experiences using dynamite to clear his land demonstrate his willingness to learn and adapt. Through his reflections on the differences between city life and country life, the author reminds us of the importance of both hard work and leisure, and of the many forms that both can take. His work is a testament to the idea that the pursuit of self-sufficiency can be as rewarding as the fruits of one's labor. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
