SYNOPSIS: Hundreds of Canadians tell their stories in this book: "One day I was in this New Brunswick farm house and I was sitting there eating my meal, and it was one lovely meal. However, while I was eating, this dog kept yapping at my elbow, and he made such a clamour that I said to the farmer, 'What the heck is wrong with that dog? And the farmer laughed and he said, 'Oh, don't mind him, he always barks like that when anyone is eating out of his dish. '" "Herb Miller was one of the great bronc riders here at the Bar U in the early days. He was spitting blood all the time, vomiting blood. He'd get off a bucking horse and just vomit blood. It was pretty rough on him, and he was an iron man..." "When he got back from Winnipeg he thought he saw something unusual out in the field--the tractor didn't appear to be going around the field in the square fashion which most of the fields are shaped out there, but it seemed to be going around in circles. And so upon investigating, he found out that the driver of the tractor was not there, and he proceeded to look further and found that the hired man had fallen off the tractor and underneath the discer--and at that point in time the tractor's wheels were turned, and so the tractor was just going around in circles, and kept going over the hired man for several hours that day." "I was glad when evening come and the children were in bed, and probably my husband would be out ploughing, or maybe they still hadn't come home from threshing at a neighbour's, and I could sit out on the front lawn and watch the sun setting..." All of these stories, about farming past and present, add up to make this a book you'll not forget.
