Summary

For Logsdon, "home" means the establishment of a pattern of homes, all working together to produce a home-based economy as a solid foundation under the larger economy gone crazy with paper money. Home for Logsdon is a local community tied to other local communities.
But Logsdon's philosophy is mostly between the lines.
What he writes about are the sad, funny, and sometimes harrowing adventures of those who live seemingly humdrum lives: understanding creeks, shepherding sheep; coping with blizzards; winning softball tournaments; losing sanity at rock concerts; hiding in haystacks; enjoying Christmas; surviving a buggy ride; overcoming grief, not to mention absentminded professors, dictatorial editors, and fervid priests; and why maybe we should go to church in our underwear.
What transpires is a lovely picture of a very American life.
