Product Description

•••••

Men in the Field was originally published in 1955, and since then, American farmers' profession and way of life have undergone irreversible changes. These eighteen pieces capture the comedy and sadness, history and myth, of a bygone period in the American cornbelt. The result is a gripping, episodic story of American life, each moment glistening with its author's great love for the soil and his lasting respect for the men and women who work and care for it.

These stories’ flawless reality is a means to an end: the illumination of universal human experience which is the unmistakable and ultimate mark of great art. –From the Foreword by John T. Frederick

Paperback. 210 pages.
