About This Item
Golden, CO: Fulcrum Publishing, ( 1992 ). First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Octavo, 197 pages, cloth
Growing up and living in Kansas. "The power of this book is in its straightforward, unflinching presentation of detail. Harry Mason is a good rememberer because he was an acute, intelligent observer. He troubled to understand thoroughly, and so he remembers exactly, what happened and how things worked. His masery of details brings us emphatically into the presence of the past." - Wendell Berry. Raised on agriculture, Mason earned a Ph.d. in experimental psychology.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
