Infos

A fond recollection of America's one-room school houses, this book includes photos, essays, and stories of heroism and perseverance. Filled with nostalgia and the innocent hope of pioneers forging communities, this highly illustrated book tells the stories of unsung and yet mythical frontiersmen and women who shaped young minds and "civilized" the west. Will include stories of children who attended one-room schools, the teachers, and tales of blizzards, fires, and the teaching of the three "R's." Illustrated with archival images and modern photos of one room schools both abandoned and still in use.
