Accurately rendered by A. G. Smith, 43 ready-to-color illustrations depict a wide variety of farm activities in mid-nineteenth-century America.Based 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.Peter 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","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091771191584,"sku":"NEW0486261484","price":6.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/old-fashioned-farm-life-coloring-book-nineteenth-century-activities-on-the-firestone-farm-at-greenfield-village-dover-american-history-coloring-books-0486261484","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
