Summary

"The Ames Farm of Woolwich, Maine recreates the life on a famiy dairy farm on which the author, Roberta Ames, was raised in the 1930s through '50s. The farm had no electricity, no running water, no ice other than what was harvested from the river, and the family's workday began every day, summer or winter, at 4:30 a.m. Despite the hardships, Roberta loved the farm and all the attributes of a subsistence farming family's life. A memeber of the sixth, and last, generation of the Ames family to own the farm, she wrote this memoir, not for nostalgia's sake alone, but to document a vanished way of life before it is forgotten forever"--Page 4 of cover
