Children of the handcrafts
Hardcover
(Viking Press March 15, 1935)
CHILDREN OF THE HANDCRAFTS - exciting stories about boys and girls who played a part in the development of the crafts in our country. Lonely little Rebecca Lefferts, snowbound for three weeks in her new home in Ohio, stitched her star-and-crescent quilt. Her father thought quilt-making much more important than learning to read and write. Thirteen-year-old Daniel Moyer wanted to go West with one of the wagon-trains. But he stayed at home and met real adventure there. Betsy Metcalf, with one shilling to spend, cried when she could not buy the beautiful imported straw bonnet which cost a whole pound. But, nothing daunted, she found a way. These, and many more, are the stories in CHILDREN OF THE HANDCRAFTS -- all of them true but more entertaining than fiction.
