Being A Boy (PDF ebook)

An absolutely delightful and entertaining book about the life
of a farm boy in New England in the early 1800s. As we go
through the seasons of the year, we learn of the hard work,
play, holidays, interests and pasttimes of farm boys of the day,
and also of their family and community life in those bygone days.
Written in the later 1800s with a realistic but warm and nostalgic
style, this would make an excellent read aloud, and is also a
great "living history" book that captures a glimpse of childhood
and rural life in pre-Civil War days. What an eye opener.
Highly recommended!

on September 26th, 1820 to watch the rich and eccentric
Colonel Johnson actually attempt to EAT one of these
poisonous fruits! Hear what happened next in this delightful
audio dramatization of this fascinating true episode from
American history.
