Eric Sloane is praised for "doing gallant service, preserving records of the ways and the means of the forefathers who got along well with the resources now long forgotten."--Springfield RepublicanThis compilation of engrossing facts and anecdotes, illustrated with the author's own pen, captures the living legacy of America as seen in "the things that were." Exploring the "national attic of vanishing ways and obsolete occupations," the author lovingly describes the careers of dowsers, tithingmen, sawyers, nailers, plumbum-men (plumbers), barber-surgeons, sellmongers, fence-viewers, and other old-time artisans and craftworkers. An immensely enjoyable book, American Yesterday will enchant anyone who takes pleasure in reading about the past and views its artifacts as part of a rich national heritage. 96 black-and-white illustrations
