"I grew up hearing stories from my mother about her childhood on a small farm in South-Western Kentucky. I was enthralled with her stories of going to the Spring-House to store the freshly-made buttermilk, and stories of market days with my Grandfather, to barter blacksmithing services for household staples. I always thought I should have been a farm girl. I have been fascinated with old barns for many years. I have taken pictures through the years, when we have traveled. I became aware, some time ago, that my older brother, also, had an interest in old barns, and had been taking pictures while traveling with his work. You will see some of these pictures throughout the book."--Author from back cover.
