Opis

Earle Lamar Kasson is a man of his time and place. He was born in 1937, and has lived his whole life on the Kansas River bottom, between Lawrence and Lecompton. In his career, he was both a full-time electrician and a full-time farmer. He personally saw the transition in the 1960s where small family farms could no longer make it without additional income. As a matter of fact, his income as a farmer was only a fraction of what he made as an electrician, yet he never stopped farming (and still runs a combine today). Earle Kasson is a man dedicated to the land, even though the land ceased to be able to support him and his family as he reached adulthood. This black and white edition includes 150+ illustrations.
