A Sense of Place : Listening to Americans by David Lamb (1993)

Description: A Sense of Place: Listening to Americans by David Lamb (1993) First Ed. Editorial Reviews Book Description Provides a close-up look at rural America through the eyes of farmers, ranchers, cowboys, hobos, and other colorful characters who speak candidly about their threatened way of life. From Library Journal Many authors claim to write about the "real" (i.e., nonurban) America, but few have done so as perceptively as Los Angeles Times correspondent Lamb in his latest work. Written over the last 20 years, the pieces collected here profile Americans living in places we often do not hear about, like Montana, Maine, Alaska, and West Virginia. Without sentimentalizing his subjects, Lamb effectively conveys their pride, self-sufficiency, and reverence for personal freedom as passed down since pioneer days. These are everyday values, lived out on small farms and big ranches, in a factory town in Maine as well as in Britt, Iowa, the hobo capital of the world. Review: Fun-to-Read!!!
