Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from When Neighbors Were Neighbors: A Story of Love and Life in Olden Days I wrote this book because I did not see how I could help it. I had long possessed an intimate knowledge of at least one rural community, which I knew, not as an outside observer, but from personal experience. I was born there, was a pupil in its schools, attended its churches, shared in its sports, took part in its industries, and entered into its political, social, and religious life. It and like communities have already quite passed away. I felt irresistibly impelled to give to others the vivid picture of my boyhood home, which still glowingly lingers within my own mind, lest in an unexpected moment it should perish forever. So I have as faithfully as possible transferred that picture to the printed page. I have tried to present every phase of the life of that primitive country neighborhood, all of its industrial, intellectual, social, political, and religious activities; all of its sturdy virtues, and, as charitably as I could, its petty faults, some of which were as ludicrous as they were vexatious. Had I the power, I would immortalize the love that united forever the hearts of John Erskine and Aunt Lucy.
