This early work by Charles Dudley Warner was originally published in
1877. It is a humorous memoir of the author's youth spent as a farm-boy
in rural Massachusetts during the nineteenth century. This is a
fascinating work and thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in the
history of American life. Many of the earliest books, particularly those
dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions.
