Childhood On The Farm: Work, Play, And Coming Of… by Pamela Riney-Kehrberg

This well-documented book provides an excellent window into the life of young people in the late 1800s and early 1900s in the American Midwest. Drawing from diaries, journals, photo collections, and other primary source documents, the author does a wonderful job mixing academic rigor with an easy-to-read approach. Organized by topic with chapters such as child labor, education, and play, I highly recommend this text for anyone interested in learning more about childhood on the farm.
