Faragher examines the settlers of a small section of rural Illinois, the first generation of a midwestern community, in the six decades before the Civil War. My interest in this book stems from my mother's family who lived in a community very much like Sugar Creek. I've used this book in my genealogical studies. The book has helped me to understand the type of community that my ggg-grandfather's family would have been a part of. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

This is a pleasantly written study of rural life in Sangamon County, Abraham Lincoln's neck of the woods. Concentrating on the first half of the 19th century, Faragher skillfully interweaves social, economic, and cultural history into a whole that is local history at its best, but, because of multiple implications, is much more than the history of a locality. Using many sources, he covers Indian-white relations, the establishment of towns, childbearing patterns, changing family life, the move from a barter to a cash economy, the alteration of the landscape, and the vicissitudes of agriculture for farm owners, tenants, and employees.
