´´A strong thread in the fabric that was once rural America´´ Our house had no electricity or indoor plumbing for many years. There was no money for new clothes and we all wore hand-me-downs. We bartered at my uncle Milt´s store for items we couldn´t produce on our farm, with fresh eggs, butter and milk. Strong work ethics were developed in all of us which we have carried into our adult lives. I have many fond memories of ´´Mom´´ and ´´Pop´´ and my brothers and sisters as we worked together as a family. All in all, we were a happy family with the usual squabbles and ´´ups´´ and ´´downs,´´ but we had many happy times together. ´´Ephraim´s Farm is a historical sketch of a western Pennsylvania working farm family of the early 1900s. Although this family may be ordinary in every detail, the totality of the lives so factually described, is extraordinary. The Romesbergs represent a single but strong thread in the fabric that was rural America.´´ -Irvin Pritts, Ph.D. ´´The author shares many seemingly insignifi cant stories that help portray the underlying love that existed between the members of the family. The book preserves many daily farming activities and styles of country living in southwestern Pennsylvania from a time period that has completely changed. As you proceed through the book, the stories have a way of building one´s desire to visit the farming and coal mining community where the Romesberg farm was located.´´ -David R. Hay ´´What an intriguing history of the Romesberg family! Once you begin to read this history, you will want to continue reading on to the very end.´´ -Betty Arnold ´´Organization of the book is excellent with chronological information starting with immigration, through today´s life. There are many fi ne stories, a message from the sky, description of farm living, and then memoirs added by family members with yet new stories and different info on previous ones.´´ -Dennis Carey Zeiss A Memoir of Rural Pennsylvania Bücher > Fremdsprachige Bücher > Englische Bücher Taschenbuch 03.2010 Buch (fremdspr.), Blue Dolphin Pub, 03.2010<
