Book Reviews of Once Upon a Time: The Way America Was
Book Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't begin to touch on how fantastic all Eric Sloane's books are. They give you a magical window into America's everyday people and how they lived what they made and used...I absolutely love his books, I think I'm only missing 2 or 3 books to own his entire works. I would recomend A "Reverance for Wood" and "Vanishing Landscape" above all his others.
Summary of Once Upon a Time: The Way America Was
This nostalgic text brims with gentle philosophies and descriptions of how we used to live -self-sufficiently - on land, in homes, and among things built by hand. The author's charming illustrations celebrate our heritage and the spirit that nurtured it, but also recall the vanished joys of America's pioneer past. 44 line illustrations.
