Signed and dated by the author at the top of the first page. This work was sponsored by The Friends of Robbins Farm Park. This book is a treasure trove of Arlington history, telling the fascinating story of the life of Nathan Robbins, gentleman farmer and true Yankee eccentric. It recounts how his beloved farm came to be preserved as an equally beloved Park, now well known for the remarkable views it affords of Boston. Oral histories, letters, newspaper articles, and over 65 illustrations and photos document the story of the Robbins' unusual marriage, his love for the land and a disappearing way of life he shared with the children who played there. This edition includes new stories and pictures and brings us up to date. Written by historian Oakes Plimpton. Arlington bought the land for this park in 1942, almost 70 years ago, from a farmer named Nathan Robbins. The farm had been in Robbins' family for over 200 years. It was purchased originally in 1734, back when Massachusetts was still a British colony. Nathan Robbins loved farming. He worked this farm, usually with just one helper, until he was 74. The farm had one cow, Helen, a workhorse named Tommy, and a chicken house whose eggs Farmer Robbins delivered every other day around town. The farm had an apple and pear orchard, hayfields, and several fields of corn. In one of those, beets and beans were also often grown in rotation. The farm also had a separate vegetable garden, up in its northernmost corner, back behind a prominent ledge of rock. There Mr. Robbins grew carrots, onions, asparagus, and rhubarb. At the time the Town purchased this land from Farmer Robbins, the United States had just entered World War II. President Roosevelt had urged communities and individual households to help save money and scarce resources in support of the war effort by growing vegetables at home for their own use, so that a larger share of commercially grown produce could be sent to our fighting forces overseas. Arlington joined the Victory Garden effort in a big way. In 1943, the recently acquired Robbins Farm became home to 66 gardens. It continued in that use until the close of the war. Lots of good food came out of those gardens. At the end of program's first year, park commissioners reported that 234 different people had participated in some way in planting, hoeing, weeding and harvesting the gardens' vegetables. Together these gardeners had produced "1,100 bushels of vegetables, 600 pounds of pumpkin and winter squash, and small quantities of other unusual vegetables." From that output, the commissioners said, 9,108 pints of food had been canned. They also estimated the program's net financial benefit to the community. Expressed in today's dollars, they placed the market value of the gardens' output at roughly $41,300, against which the gardeners' out-of-pocket costs came to just over $7,300. That meant a savings of $34,000 overall, a little more than $500 per garden. Those calculations did not include, of course, the cost of the labor those 234 people had put into their gardens. A 1943 article in the Arlington Advocate, however, hints that many of the Robbins Farm gardeners did not look on their garden efforts as just so much wage labor. Late that September, a bunch of the gardeners staged a "field day" where, among other activities, they set up exhibits of their fresh and canned produce. Lots of people came to look. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place ribbons were awarded to the top exhibitors. Among the viewers was none other than Mr. Nathan Robbins, "a favorite of the children," the article noted, "of several generations, in fact." 3rd Edition with Addendums [stated] Presumed first printing thus.

Text: eng.- In today's western world of comfort and safety, almost sixty years later few seem able to remember or understand what World War II felt like -- or what it was all about. Many Americans, protected by an ocean, are even less aware of European military history. Switzerland's place in that conflict has been shaped in the past decades by selective reporting and revisionist thinking. A comprehensive look has been long overdue. 1100 gr.
