Smith's story is an important record of a way of life beginning to disappear, a loss not fully yet realized. We are lucky to have a work that is both instructive and warm-hearted and that preserves so much hard-won knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Leslie Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0817354948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780817354947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fire Ant Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.36w x 0.72d","brand":"Robert Leslie Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926492119295,"sku":"9780817354947","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_66224bde-0a41-4c08-9639-d7ad304014f7.jpg?v=1681083373","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gone-to-the-swamp-robert-leslie-smith-9780817354947","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
