| Summary | "The New England Country" by Clifton Johnson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and character of New England, focusing on the agricultural life of the region, its traditions, and social customs during the early part of that century. Through vivid descriptions, it paints a nostalgic picture of rural life, capturing both its simplicity and complexity. The opening of this work sets the stage for a journey through time, reflecting on the charms of "old times" on New England farms. The author discusses the comforting memories and sense of nostalgia associated with these times, emphasizing the appeal of the past compared to the hectic present. Detailed descriptions highlight typical farm life, the importance of community, and the connection to the land, illustrating how those living in rural New England navigated their daily lives while facing both joys and hardships. Johnson juxtaposes this traditional life with the looming changes of the industrial era, suggesting a sense of loss as society began to shift from manual labor to mechanization and urban living.
