- Summary
- "The farm has belonged to Richard Quinney's family for generations, since first being settled by his great-grandparents fleeing the potato famine in Ireland, and it is the place of his birth and early years. When the house at the Old Place was torn down more than half a century ago, the family photograph albums were carried up to the farmhouse. A few letters, some diary entries, and a scrapbook of obituaries survived to preserve a portion of the family history. Added to these materials, the author has drawn from the photographs made by his mother and father as they documented their young lives, and from the many photographs of the early years of the family." "This is the story of the several generations that once lived on these few acres of rolling hills and wetlands in a corner of southern Wisconsin. The book concludes with a photographic survey of the artifacts that remain on the farm."--BOOK JACKET.
