Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Calvin Allen, professionally known as J. C., worked as a photographer for Purdue University from 1909-1952, and operated his own photography business until his death in 1976. The J. C. Allen photographs represent a historical account of the transition from pioneer practices to scientific methodologies in agriculture and rural communities. During this major transitional period for agriculture, tractors replaced horses, hybrid corn supplanted open-pollinated corn, and soybeans changed from a novelty crop to regular rotation on most farms. During this time, purebred animals with better genetic pedigrees replaced run-of-the-mill livestock, and systematic disease prevention in cattle, swine, and poultry took place. Allen's photographs also document clothing styles, home furnishings, and the items people thought important as they went about their daily lives. Looking closely at tractors, livestock, wagons, planters, sprayers, harvesting equipment, and crops gives one a sense of the changing and fast-paced world of agriculture at that time. This volume contains over 900 picturesque images, most never-before-seen, of men, women, and children working on the farm, which remain powerful reminders of life in rural America at the turn of the twentieth century. As old farmhouses and barns fall victim to age, Allen photographs are all that remain. While those people and times no longer exist today, they do remain "alive" because of the preservation of that history on film. A camera in his hands and an eye for photography allowed Allen to create indelible visual histories that continue to tell the story of agriculture and rural life from long ago.

Book excerpt: Growing up in a time when we used kerosene lamps for light, an outhouse for a bathroom, and carried out water from the windmill into the house sounds like a hard life compared to today with all the modern conveniences. But it was all we knew. We did a lot of chores on the farm that were physically hard, tiring, and exhausting, but our life was also simple and meaningful. We raised the animals and grew the food we ate. The crops on our farm helped feed others. We lived close to relatives and knew our neighbors. This book allows me the opportunity to share my childhood memories with my children, grandchildren, and future generations- to give them a glimpse into my childhood growing up on a farm in the 1940's. My Farm, My Heart; Childhood Memories is meant not only for me to tell my story to my own family, but to also share my memories with everyone who wants to gain a glimpse into life on a farm in the "good old days."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remembering Rosie is about Block's childhood on a Wisconsin dairy farm in the mid-twentieth century. Growing up on the homestead with her parents and siblings was often idyllic. Still, it never stopped Block from dreaming of making a different life for herself despite many obstacles she'd face in trying to leave the land her German great-grandparents settled in the 1880s.Block and her siblings experienced long hours of tedious and dangerous work. Educational opportunities were limited, and the Ludwig children's one-room school had poorly trained teachers and few books. There was no expectation of girls going on to higher education. Block's observations of her depressive mother, the drudgery of farm life, and the short, cruel lives of farm animals were driving forces that made her take a path less followed. During a time when going against the grain was difficult, Block's restlessness and desire to see a world outside her sheltered community catapulted her into a life that the blue-eyed, blond-haired farm girl never could have imagined.

Book excerpt: Meet Conner, a twelve year old boy growing up on a farm in western Iowa back in the days when the farm was the center of family life in the Midwestern United States. The boy Connor, works hard, grows strong, and learns many lessons about life while living on the farm. He has eleven other siblings in his family, all fourteen family members living at one point in time in a two bedroom farmhouse with no appliances and running water. He does not complain, he knows nothing different, and he takes the reader through numerous activities that a young boy could devise to keep occupied and have fun on the farm. This book is for anyone who also cherishes memories of farm life back in the day. It is also for those readers who would like an insight into a way of life that has left us and is growing extinct as generations move further from this style of life. The book, although mostly fictional in parts and somewhat accurate in others, provide a historical look at farm life in our past. In summary, the work is a book about a point in our history, a book about our memories, and most importantly, a book about the gift of life.

This book was released on 2009-09-04 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the precious memories and some funny short stories of a young girl growing up on a farm during the 1950s and 60s, a 167 acre working farm, no gasoline powered machinery; no tractors, the only horse-power was 4-1000 pounds of pure flesh and bone; horses. No indoor plumbing, therefore no indoor toilet; they owned and operated and outdoor outhouse; no soft white toilet paper; Sears & Roebuck catalog, or the weekly newspaper served the purpose. As a young girl she remembers the many valuable lessons she learned, and experienced many very funny scenerios, that she shares with her readers; the twenty pound menance, the horrifying experience of making mincemeat, the terrifying experience of the forbidden smokehouse, and the rock-hurling grandma, the runaway horse, and a episode with a blind Missouri mule named Bill. The precious memories remained ingrained in her soul; The smell of fresh mowen hay, the capturing of lightening bugs, and the sounds, sights, and smells of a spring day.
