Are the days of soap-making at home and spinning and traveling by paddle wheel steamer really gone for good? How long has it been since you have seen a kerosene lamp, a surrey, a scarecrow? In the pages of this book Everett B Wilson proves that these aging Americana not only exist outside of museums but are still functional in everyday life. Granted, they are gradually passing into extinction - electricity and modern industry have made them for the most part unnecessary and impractical. But the pot-bellied stove and the scarecrow, along with hundreds of other elements of pre-Jet Age America, are very much in evidence in certain parts of the country; and in this book these elements are preserved in picture and explanatory text by a man who has grown up in familiarity with them.
