Eric Sloane, artist and writer, has been a devoted student of our vanishing landscape ever since he discovered a number of quaint old tools on his 18th century New England farm. Impressed by the artistry and sturdy realism of pioneer builders, he learned about life in the days when the settlers had a little more than strength, endurance and inexhaustible resources to pit against their surroundings. Using his pen with a depth of feeling for those thousands of early American architects and craftsman, he recreates with stunning deftness the artistic integrity of their age.#ericsloane#history#18thcentury#pioneers#settlers#NewEngland#illustrations
