The Clock Turned Back: Reminiscences Of A Nineteenth Century Childhood
Goodwin, Harry Samuel (Peter E. Randall, 1986)
The author, a 98 year old retired schoolmaster in Kittery, ME, recorded his boyhood memories of visits to his grandparents' farm in Union, N.H. This nostalgic look at rural life before the turn of the century includes his recollection of his grandfather stalking wild honey, & cider-making, & of his grandmother making candles, & drying apples. An enjoyable book.
