Overview

Including a biographical introduction of the author, a farmer who defined the American dream. *** Hector St. John (Crèvecoeur) wrote these ""Letters"" during a period of seven years prior to the American Revolutionary War, while farming land near Orange County, New York. They are told from the viewpoint of a fictional narrator in correspondence with an English gentleman, and each letter concerns a different aspect of life or location in the British colonies of America. the letters are written in a spirit of touching simplicity, almost better than Chateaubriand.

This American Farmer tells of the joys of creating a home in the wilderness, and of cultivating the virgin soil. *** The series ""Large Print Reader's Choice"" features classic books with a font size of at least 16 points.
