| Summary | "When Life Was Young: At the Old Farm in Maine" by C. A. Stephens is a nostalgic memoir written in the early 20th century, reflecting on the author's childhood and experiences on a farm in Maine. The narrative captures the innocence of youth and the idyllic simplicity of rural life, as well as the challenges faced during that era. The central figure appears to be the narrator, who recounts his journey to live with his grandparents at the old farm, filled with vivid descriptions of the landscape, family dynamics, and the joys of farm life. At the start of the memoir, the narrator recalls his arrival at the farm, where he is warmly welcomed by his grandfather. He describes the setting of the Great Pond and the rich history of the land, including its origins tied to Native American names and early settlers. The opening portion also introduces the narrator's cousins, their unique personalities, and the initial sense of homesickness he feels as he adjusts to a new life. The vivid descriptions of nature, family interactions, and the backdrop of post-Civil War America set the stage for the themes of nostalgia, belonging, and the exploration of youthful experiences that unfold throughout the narrative.
