A Farmer's World: The 1861 Diary of Harvey Devoe, Knox County, Ohio - Paperback
Details
by Alan Borer (Author)
Harvey Devoe (1828-1914) farmed most of his life, and kept a diary for one significant year of that life, 1861. The diary, transcribed here in its entirety, gives a day by day view of the life and hard work of a mid nineteenth century farmer, and the coming of a national tragedy. Illustrated with family pictures and annotated for a clearer view, Devoe's words are both humerous and sarcastic, and although brief, give a look into a vanished world.
