First Farm in the Valley
Author: Anne Pellowski
Publisher: Bethlehem Books
ISBN: 1932350241
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
Six-year-old Anna Pellowski’s older siblings, Jacob, Franciszek, Barney, Mary and Pauline are exposed to English at school, but only Polish is spoken at home. The younger children—Anna, Julian, Anton barely know a word of their new country’s language, but then neither do many of their neighbors. When the family goes to town to celebrate the 100th birthday of the United States, the speaker gives his speech in a mix of German, Polish, Bohemian and Norwegian! Some years before, in the mid 1800’s, Anna’s mother, father and brother Baby Jacob had come from Poland to live in a tiny sod house in Western Wisconsin and establish the very first farm in the entire Latsch Valley. Now the growing family lives in a real house, with neighbors on every side, and the world for quietly curious Anna is filled with fascinating possibilities—as well as lots of hard work. Sometimes she dreams of going back to the Poland she is always hearing about, but increasingly she realizes that life in Latsch Valley, with its rich cultural rhythm of work, play and religious faith, holds everything she could possibly want.

A Family Place
Author: Leila Philip
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438427719
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
One womans journey to uncover her familys history and understand the ties that bind us to a particular place. Encompassing three centuries of manor lords and tenant farmers, Civil War heroes and renegade aunts, award-winning author Leila Philip tells the story of her ancestral Hudson Valley home, Talavera, and the mystery of her attachment to it. After her fathers death in 1992, Leila and her family struggled to find the means to keep their farm intact. This uphill battle led her to examine the forces that compel a family to sacrifice almost everything to hold onto a particular piece of land. Newly republished with a folio of historic photographs and an epilogue that updates the story of the farm and the family to the present, A Family Place addresses the tensions between memory and recorded fact, inviting readers to take a new look at their own sense of home. Philip is an extremely gifted writer who doesnt skirt somber emotional notes. She has created a brave, eloquent, and beautifully constructed memoir of a remarkable place and the remarkable family that belongs to it. Chronogram Author Leila Philip presents a tribute to her familys long and illustrious history, revealing a piece of Americana that is hard to replicate. A Family Place is recommended reading for anyone who wants to see the evolution of the American family first hand. Reviewers Bookwatch Philip grafts history, natural history, and autobiography into a stunning performance. Maureen Howard, author of Big as Life Mesmerizing Both narrative threads are profoundly personal. Braided together with insight, they pay homage to the ideals of home and family with a resonance that should extend beyond her home region. Publishers Weekly an unpretentious, subtly shaded story of the importance of understanding the ghosts and heroes that reside in every ancestral home. New York Times An exquisite rendering of a Hudson Valley family farm, as detailed and colored as a Persian miniature. Philips family history is alarmingly transporting, and her sense of place so rich you can taste it. Kirkus Reviews(starred review) Riveting one of the most finely written family histories available.
