Excerpt from Homestead Highways

Nature is the mother of sentiment, and to multitudes of people nothing is more charming in its reminiscent quality than the Old New Eng land country life. Away from its quiet home steads and tree-shadowed highways, into the noisy, crowded ruts of the city, the awakened memories of its old-fashioned and simple'habits, its plain fare, its Open-handed hospitality, are like beautiful pictures swept clear of years of dust and cobwebs. A boy hood or a girlhood laid among such pastoral scenes is the halcyon period of a life-time. Of such, among the fields, the woods, the meadows and streams, my book is in part a suggestion.
