The
Author,
Dayton
A.
Williams:
was
born
in
1874
and
grew
up
on
his
family's
farm
in
Lyme
Township,
Huron
County,
Ohio.
In
1899
he
graduated
from
Kenyon
College,
where
he
captained
the
last
football
team
to
beat
Ohio
State.
The
letters
are
his
first-person
memories
of
the
daily
life
on
a
farm
in
the
late
1800's.
Written
almost
fifty
years
after
he
left
the
farm,
Dayton
Williams'
letters
include
essays
on
Decoration
Day
at
the
country
church
and
on
Christmas
celebrations
at
the
church
in
town.
He
remembers
peddlers,
tramps,
boyhood
inventions
for
easing
farm
work
and
descriptions
of
the
farm
machinery
of
his
day,
some
in
the
form
of
a
quiz
for
those
who
thought
they
"were
up
on
the
farmer
business. |

What
do
foster

need
to
do
the
best
job
for
troubled
kids?

foster
family.
Nikki

a
number

both

Foster

ever
done-in
a
world
that
doesn't
understand
foster
care.
In

book
she
shares
her
struggles,
mistakes
and
some
successes.
