Simply told, brilliantly illustrated, warmly evocative and very educational story of one of the oldest continuously operating farms in the US.
This book signifies the general conditions of twelve generations of family members living on a continuing family farm in the United States. Authors Richard Michelson and Mary Azarian highlight the significant occasions in American history which are covered with each generation's conditions on the farm.

Where does our family come from? Are we living here a long time What are our family value? What do we value? I believe this story a sense of identity but not so simple to narrate. Where does our family come from? How long have we lived in this place? show more What are our family treasures? What do we value? It may lead them to a sense of identity. This is a simple story, but not so simple to tell. The disadvantage is how the authors cover 400 years of history and 12 generations in less than 50 pages. show less
