Memories of a midwestern farm

"Nancy Hutchens grew up on a southern Indiana farm in the 1950s, when horses still plowed the fields. Soap and butter were homemade, and success was a table laden with a hearty meal. Now she shares this bygone time in Memories of a Midwestern Farm. Here are classic recipes handed down in the Hutchens farmhouse kitchen, along with charming poems and journal entries of her grandmother, Mamaw Tribby; country newsletters, bits of folk wisdom and pioneer songs; reflections on rural life from Willa Cather, Walt Whitman and others; and family photos and original illustrations that adorn the pages of this beautiful memoir."--BOOK JACKET.
