What do you know of the rambling shoemakers who came to a farmhouse and stayed until each member of the family was newly shod with leather from the farm's cattle? Have you ever wondered about the processes by which our frontiersmen translated forest land into fields of wheat? What do you know about those two first crops of the pioneers, ashes and maple sugar? What do you know of log houses, of shingle making, bridges, and flax growing, of spinning and weaving cloth for a garment that was homegrown and homemade? Here is folk history, the accumulated memory of old men and women whom the author knew,... memories he has substantiated by a lifetime of research."-from the Foreword by Louis C. JonesThe Golden Age of Homespun chronicles the occupations, handicrafts, and traditions that defined rural life in upstate New York-and throughout much of America-in the first half of the nineteenth century. First published in 1953, it is an engaging and affectionate account of how land was cleared, farms established, and homes built; of how each family fed, clothed, and warmed itself; and of the trades, crafts, and industries that augmented a primarily agrarian economy. Illustrated with 45 delightful line drawings that depict the activities and implements described by Jared van Wagenen, Jr., The Golden Age of Homespun is an invaluable record of how upstate New York farmers lived on and off the land in the decades before the Civil War-a vanished way of life that still holds strong appeal in the American imagination.AgricultureNew York (State)HistoryElectronic books.AgricultureHistory.338.1097471van Van Wagenen JaredJr.,1055557Austin Erwin H.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466636603321The golden age of homespun2489071UNINA02870nam 2200697 a 450 991078165410332120230725051118.01-283-24556-697866132455640-7748-1973-1(CKB)2550000000046650(OCoLC)750236153(CaPaEBR)ebrary10488845(SSID)ssj0000533839(PQKBManifestationID)11339469(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000533839(PQKBWorkID)10492776(PQKB)11109539(CaBNVSL)slc00227053(CEL)439033(MiAaPQ)EBC3276009(MiAaPQ)EBC3412692(Au-PeEL)EBL3412692(CaPaEBR)ebr10492772(CaONFJC)MIL324556(OCoLC)923448226(EXLCZ)99255000000004665020110601d2011 uy 0engurcn||||||a||txtccrAge, gender, and work[electronic resource] small information technology firms in the new economy /edited by Julie Ann McMullinVancouver [B.C.] UBC Pressc20111 online resource (201 p.) 0-7748-1974-X 0-7748-1971-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.Gender, age and work in the new economy / Julie McMullin and Heather Dryburgh -- Methods / Emily Jovic, Julie McMullin and Tammy Duerden Comeau -- Firms as "gender regimes" : the experiences of women in IT workplaces / Gillian Ranson and Heather Dryburgh -- Variants of masculinity within masculinist IT workplace regimes / Tammy Duerden Comeau and Candace L.
