Diary of an Early American Boy : Noah Blake 1805

Summary: Pioneer Life in the early United States
Review: I had this book in an earlier edition (1970's?) and found it delightful. As a boy I pored over the text and line drawings to learn how farm life was 150 years hence (I grew up on a farm). The knowledge of the means of labor and variety of tools which were crafted and used has been with me since, and it is interesting to see some of those tools in antique stores and know exactly how they were used. It also has given me great insight into how my ancestors settled the regions were they made their homes, as my family history research progressed.

Summary: Great Diary!
Review: This was a great book about Noah and his father Issac and their encounters and troubles they have while building to improve their farm. I loved this book and will probably re-read it over and over again! One interesting thing was that Noah spelt peas wrong! It is also a love tale for those of you that like that type of thing.
