Description: FARM FESTIVALS by Will Carleton Profusely Illustrated Copyright 1881 Harper & Brothers FYI: "William McKendree Carleton (October 21, 1845 – December 18, 1912) was an American poet from Michigan. Carleton's poems were most often about his rural life. Born in rural Lenawee County, Hudson, Michigan, Carleton was the fifth child of John Hancock and Celeste (Smith) Carleton. In 1869, he graduated from Hillsdale College and delivered on that occasion the poem, "Rifts in the Cloud". "What Robert Burns did for the Scottish cotter and the Reverend William Barnes has done for the English farmer, Will Carleton has done for the American—touched with the glamour of poetry the simple and monotonous events of daily life, and shown that all circumstances of life, however trivial they may appear, possess those alternations of the comic and pathetic, the good and bad, the joyful and sorrowful, which go to make up the days and nights, the summers and winters, of this perplexing world"." 167 pages Book of poetry and ballads by the author. Much of the poetry is accompanied by an illustration. Very old book. Book in poor condition. Top and bottom of outer spine has pieces missing. Major damage to front and back covers in certain areas. Front cover starting to come away from spine. Some minor foxing and soiling on pages throughout book. Back cover starting to come away from spine as well. Track Page Views WithAuctiva's FREE Counter
