This memoir covers a thirty-year span of farming through the eyes of Ira's daughter who went from a bare-footed carefree girl to a \"hired hand\" when her older brother joined the Navy in 1942. She drove horses, hauled hay, picked up stones, bagged milkweed pods and a myriad of other tasks. For senior citizens it may bring back childhood memories. Young readers will perhaps experience a tinge of fantasy or a scene from TV's Walton family. An easy read about rural farm life in the thirties and forties\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Virginia Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692100318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692100318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Virginia Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.24d","brand":"Virginia Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046336622847,"sku":"9780692100318","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9bf11d72-5ce4-42b9-b395-d06cfa383481.jpg?v=1684983982","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/iras-farm-virginia-johnson-9780692100318","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
