### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Eric Sloan Captures America the way we WANT it to be.
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2020*

Eric Sloane, Journalist, Writer and Artist spent his life finding and presenting the best of America from the 19th and Early 20th Centuries. He started out as an antique tool collector, then branched out into HOW things were done in simpler days. A visit to any of his books is a journey into a kinder, gentler past, with people who were closer to the land, and understood it far better than we do. If you love Early America, any of Sloan's books are guidebooks into that wonderful time. His prose is lyrical, and his sketches are masterful. "Once Upon a time: The Way America Was" is a lovely introduction to his world.

    The Honor of  Work

This is a book worth reading to young children and even thoe in the Middle School years - it is about growing up and the value of good, hard work!

    Brilliant!
  

*by T***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2022*

I have the full set of these books and I read them over and over. There is so much good information about how things used to be for our ancestors. If you’re into history, working with your hands, or you just enjoy old time folk lore - you should really read all of Eric Sloane’s books!
