Most of us think we know something about farm life today, including modern machines, herds of cows, or growing food for families. Farm life in this book is very different. Early Farm Life shows us in pictures and words how families lived on farms as our country expanded west. Old farms were situated by water, the houses built of logs, and the whole family worked together for survival. As you are reading this book it might be fun to, answer in your mind or discuss with someone how you do tasks today that accomplish the same things as they did in early farm days.
