Description
Excerpt from Rural Lines, USA: The Story of the Rural Electrification Administration''s First Twenty-Five Years, 1935-1960
As a result, the American farmer at the dawn of this century was earning his living in a way that had changed but little since the Middle Ages. The tools he used were simple and ancient: the wheel, the lever the block and tackle, the plow. For most tasks how ever arduous, he could draw only on the strength of his own body or the strength of horses and mules. His children studied by the dim light of a kerosene lamp his wife was a slave to the wood range and washboard.
