About This Item
New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Co, 1892. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. 0x0x0. First edition. No jacket. 1892 Hard Cover. 106 pp. Frontispiece, two plates in text. Hoeing corn is not very hard work for one who is accustomed to it, but the circumstances of the hoeing may make the task an exceedingly laborious one. They did so in Joe Gaston's case. Joe Gaston thought he had never in his life before been put to such hard and disagreeable work. In the first place, the ground had been broken up only that spring, and it was very rough and stony. Next, the field was on a western slope, and the rays of the afternoon sun shone squarely on it. It was an unusually oppressive day, too, for the last of June. Finally, and chiefly: Joe was a fourteen-year-old boy, fond of sport and of companionship, and he was working there alone. Leaning heavily on the handle of his hoe, Joe gazed pensively away to the west. At the foot of the slope lay a small lake, its unruffled surface reflecting with startling distinctness the foliage that lined its shores, and the two white clouds that hung above in the blue sky.
