Part the diary of Noah Blake, who was 15 in 1805, and part a re-creation of the life that a boy in his circumstances would have lived, this book is a loving tribute to a vanished way of life. Profusely illustrated, it will give its readers a sense of participation in the past that is all too rare in conventional histories.… (lisätietoja)

I had read this as a kid, probably again as an adult, and recently got this large-format edition. The pictures are great, the text is interesting and informative, and the diary is full of day to day tidbits of old-time life. The author creates a story from the diary, and fills in details. A lot of fun, a quick, light read, and great for kids and adults. ( )

The author found a young man's journal from 1805. It's about daily life and quite a lot to learn. The author gives information regarding some of the more obscure items that perhaps only serious antique collectors would know what they are or perhaps farmers.
We learned about the plumbing of a door based on the lead plumb, which my ds connected to the element of lead being pb.
We learned that it was easier for the settlers to travel during the snowy months than the summer months due to the roads.
Why some bridges had tolls even as early as 1805 and when they became covered. That the women put designs in their dirt flooring. That the rocking chair is truly an American invention, how some farms became separated by roads on purpose by the owners...etc. the list goes on. This book is a wealth of information.
This book was a fun book for history and science. ( )

Sloane wrote this book in 1962 as an annotated, illustrated, and expanded upon version of the journal of Noah Blake from 1805, whom was fifteen at the time. Noah lived in a small New England town, although the book does not specify exactly where (a striking oversight).

The book inspires a sense of wonder and fascination with an era now two centuries past. Much of the book explores and explains novelties from a very different way of life: dirt floors, ten panes of glass per household, the invention of covered bridges, the lack of screws and bolts in construction. There are hundreds of such insights, including an exploration into the language of the era (holidays were “holydays”).

There’s an innocent romanticism to this sort of book.

One passage stands out to me:

"In modern times when everything a person needs may be bought in a store, there are very few hand-made things left. So we are robbed of that rare and wonderful satisfaction that comes with personal accomplishments. In Noah’s time, nearly every single thing that a person touched was the result of his own efforts. The cloth of his clothing, the meal on the table, the chair he sat in, and the floor he walked upon, all were made by the user. This is why those people had an extraordinary awareness of life. They know wood intimately; the knew the ingredients of food and medicines and inks and paints because they grew it and ground it and mixed it themselves. It was this awareness of everything about them that made the early American people so full of inner satisfaction, so grateful for life and all that went with it. Nowadays modern conveniences allow us to be forgetful, and we easily become less aware of the wonders of life."

What would it be like to revive such attention to the things that surround us and their provenance? ( )

I came across Eric Sloane's books when I was a teenage wanna-be author researching a book set in early America. Well, reading through Sloane's books I enjoyed the research so much I never actually got around to writing the story. His books are wonderful descriptions of everyday life in this young country, and his penciled illustrations are absolutely wonderful and informative. I collect all his books now, and pick them up when I find them. ( )

My dad turned me onto Sloane. I love satisfying my craving to learn something that I'll never use, and would never learn in school, but which is still interesting. It's especially interesting because Sloane's own passion shines in his writing. ( )
