Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Maid of Bar Harbor In the early years of the last century the Maine farmer, in his hard struggle with the rocky soil and ungenial climate, found every power of mind and body taxed to its utmost to keep that soul and body together. Let his natural inclinations and tastes be what they might, he had no leisure either for the adornment of his home or the cultivation of those little refinements and courtesies that go so far to smooth the rugged front of toil, and make the husbandman´s life what God meant it to be, the nearest akin to Eden of any calling upon the face of the earth. It was the rule rather than the exception that a small, very small, house, rudely finished to begin with, and never subject to repairs so long as it would hold together, was considered good enough for the family, forming a strange contrast to the big barns, constructed with an eye to convenience as well as room, and actually making a warmer shelter for his stock than the rickety farmhouse did for his household.
