We linked where to find the books in the video description. - Bri

@decolonizeEverywhere 7 лет назад

lol never mind! i din't scroll down before commenting.

@decolonizeEverywhere 7 лет назад

i got online and ordered "Diary of An Early American Boy". there were only a few left. i think you started a run on them becauseAmazon said they will be ordering more!

@allisonebrussin5227 5 лет назад

I immediately clicked through and bought these books. Then I told my husband it could be worse. I could have impulse ordered a bunch of chicks. (We live on the 14th floor, in the middle of the city.) 😂

@1000sofroots 7 лет назад

You inspired our 9 year old. After watching this video and "sleeping on it" he told me this morning that he wants to start collecting a shop full of old time tools, so that he can build his home the old fashioned way. So fun! Thank you for inspiring our 9 year old son!!

@CleoCastonguay47 7 лет назад

Thanks for sharing this tidbit about Eric Sloane... strangely enough we share the same passion for this author although we live in different countries. I have a copy of "An Age of Barns" that I love and cherish. Like you I like to reminisce on pioneer life before modern technology and modern agriculture took over our lives. I keep thinking : Men knew how to grow food, raise a family and manage animals without electricity and modern technologies... Although electricity is a commodity that we can hardly do without, I think Eric Sloane's books are a great source of inspiration to help us rethink our way of living and get back to basics so we can live a simple life and enjoy our daily blessings.

@ehunter9635 7 лет назад

Art, after watching this, my hubby bought me two of these books and I'm so excited to read them! As an art history graduate, now living on a hobby farm, this is right up my alley! Thank you for sharing this!!

@hazelschofield9161 7 лет назад

I like how you guys have been changing it up, following your own interests and sharing it with us 😊

@conniedecrescenzo7782 7 лет назад

We live in Connecticut and you've inspired us to visit the Sloane Museum. Thanks!

@Brifromscratch 7 лет назад

Wonderful!

@1forthepeople969 7 лет назад

Story tellers are rare today. Keep up the good work. Really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing.

@Guildbrookfarm 7 лет назад

I never even heard of him before! I saw a version of our log ladder in there (how cool!). I would love these books. Thanks for sharing!

@sweetheartsmom 7 лет назад

you don't know how much I appreciated this video; I have added the books to my amazon wish list; every summer I take a 1 week vacation with just me and my 4 grand kids; We will be reading these books this year;

@MarshCreekFarmOffGrid 7 лет назад

i love eric sloane. I have collected all the. the same books you have! i would love to build a timber framed barn.

@donaldadams9823 7 лет назад

Art I have had these books for 40 years and they are my favorite also. You might call them serviceable country living books.

@dc0145a 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for sharing this info. :) My family teases me often. Saying 'oh dear, you were born about 150 years too late'. I don't use my dryer - nothing better than hanging clothes on line. Make our meals from scratch. Grow our own food. Lovin Life way up here in New Hamsha :)

@Jombi1950 7 лет назад

Loved this video. So relaxing to listen to you.

@leobaltz2057 7 лет назад

I loved this!! Our American history is so fascinating! I ve got to go find those books! Thanks Art!

@tara_a_santiago 7 лет назад

Always a lesson to be learned from you Art, thank you!

@mrsmagandelatour 7 лет назад

You're a great storyteller I enjoy that

@missysorganics1258 7 лет назад

that.... was so cool... best video ever. I was never into history till I found a way to connect with it. good job sir.

@vi6700 7 лет назад

I too am interested in old homesteads. I worked as a Game Warden in Wisconsin in the late 70's and would find old homesteads way back in the woods. Old homes falling apart but I would find a rose bush still surviving in what was probably the front yard. You could just imagine the woman of the house out doing laundry and the children playing about. Love it!

@peewees6199 7 лет назад

I've never heard of Sloan so thank you for the info.

@decolonizeEverywhere 7 лет назад

hi Art! i love hearing about these books, and the story about the pear tree is especially dear to my heart because my family has been here since the mid 1600s before the British took over. they were farmers in what is now downtown Albany and Ministers in the very first Dutch Protestant church. i grew up in Watervliet on the Hudson River just north of Albany one of the oldest Dutch settled areas. all of these places are so familiar and the history is fascinating. Schuyler, Rensselaer, and Stuyvesant are all common names around here and hard to wrap your tongue around. lol the trick is to ignore the u so it sounds more like sky or sty. i have never seen those books but now im on the hunt for them. i may be able to locate them through the NYS Museum or a small Dutch heritage shop in Albany. but im wondering where you found them. they seem an amazing resource for any homesteader trying to recover the lost art of living. thanks for sharing them.

@ChezGra 7 лет назад

Cheryl Taylor your own personal history is fascinating!!!

@decolonizeEverywhere 7 лет назад

it is really an interesting area to have grown up in. from Albany to Saratoga, so much of what has happened historically here is how the US became what it is. im such a history monkey from family day trips to places and am so grateful to my parents for giving me these hands-on history lessons.

@UniversalDirt 7 лет назад

Great idea, doing an episode on Eric Sloane.

@rogerGodsaves 7 лет назад

Good video good info, we need to get back and do some of these things and live more simply.

@ArtandHomesteading 7 лет назад

Wow! I think that you, like me, just might have been very happy to have lived with our families 100-200 years ago when all those amazing things were commonplace, and when people placed more value on a person's inventiveness and work ethic. I can't imagine a more perfect collection of books. Thank you SO much for the recommendations, and for sharing your thoughts and some of your favorite tools and barns from the books. -Trent

@HilltopFarmHomestead 7 лет назад

If you guys are going back in time take me! I'm sure I was born 200 years too late!

@bumblebee7922 7 лет назад

I have always thought that as well. "IN The Kitchen At Hilltop Farm...."

@decolonizeEverywhere 7 лет назад

oh, i also forgot that Watervliet means water way because of being on the Hudson river and the Erie and Mohawk canals go through it. some of the old canalway is still there and preserved in small parks. really beautiful.

@kellyhale2778 7 лет назад

I will be checking for some of his books. Love learning about ways of the past. I am 55 yrs old and think I was born in the wrong century. LOL

@CharlyneEichner 6 лет назад

I throughly enjoyed this. My degree was in Fine Arts with a concentration in Photography and a minor in Art History. I did a series of photos of my grandmothers’ rocking chair in the backyard. Kids have grown, my mom has passed and their are house in the emptying field in back now. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

@SansaStarkofWinterfell 7 лет назад

We still have an old *sod* house on the property. Sadly the house is falling down. But there truly isn't much to be done about it falling apart. Nature gives and it takes. The Abrahamson's built the original sod house when they came over from Norway and started farmsteading on the land. Now they run angus & crops on the land. In 14 months my husband & I will be moving up there from South Dakota to help on the land. His uncle currently is living there alone and wants us to come out there to help. I look forward to it. Absolutely wonderful video Art, Thank you for sharing your outlook & the various books. I love books, old barns, old tools. Old things, I think I was born in the wrong century. =) 🌱Be Blessed 🌼

@susansharphaynes555 7 лет назад

When we travel and I see old houses that have overgrown brambles and weeds I imagine whats inside! I used to go with my Grandpa to flea markets and he would go through every tool or useful thing and he knew the use of almost everything.

@Brifromscratch 7 лет назад

What a wealth of knowledge!

@kathycagg6531 5 лет назад

The art and history of the books - wonderful! And that voice! Art, your voice must calm many a patient where your work!

I am fascinated with the ingeniousness of people and the thought that goes into their creations; especially when it comes to homestead living. What a fascinating and prolific man. Thanks for turning me on to him,,...:)

@rachel4483 7 лет назад

Kids all asleep by 2:26. Thank you! This is an awesome bedtime video. Not boring, but not so exciting kids stay awake and keep bouncing off the walls. Very calm toned video and interesting to boot.

@Brifromscratch 7 лет назад

haha! Glad we could be of help.

@mariehurley7055 Год назад

Hey ! your video came up when I was searching Eric Sloane. I have been enjoying his books and am so glad that others are as well. Much love to you all.

@amandasue6500 7 лет назад

Thank you for sharing. I absolutely love history, I will definitely check those books out.

@shellyhaskins6967 7 лет назад

Definitely gonna get some of these books and you would be great to read to kids in the local libraries. Love all the great and educational vlogs and how the farm is coming together.

@katherinemcdaniel8446 6 лет назад

Loved this video. Books of this type are some of my favorites. I'd seen the Diary book before, and will have to try and find some of the others. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy your channel.

@VisoMoraine 7 лет назад

I always enjoy your talks. Thanks.

@suzettefamespinosapina5604 7 лет назад

this is one of my favorite videos of yours. I am so glad that we got to see another side of you. to be honest I thought that you were somewhat of a simpleton, but, obviously I was very wrong. this is a case of me being happy to be shown to be wrong! I hope you read to your children because you are wonderful at reading and putting emotion into the written word. your wife Bri seems to be a fantastic wife and mother. your kids are lovely little people! what a fine example you all are for us! love to your whole family from me!

@luckychicav7981 7 лет назад

@JustMe-hh2oy 7 лет назад

I''m really glad you finally did this episode, Art, I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to get to the library and check out some of his books. Ps. I think you are right about that being such a dangerous machine yesterday.

@dragonflygrandma 7 лет назад

Impressive, love the video. Thank you for the peak into those books.

@monarawles5832 7 лет назад

very nice video! My architectural drafting teacher gave me some of his books, and I treasure them still- thanks for sharing

@rohnsleather9986 7 лет назад

Another great video! Love Eric Sloan's books.

@onedazinn998 7 лет назад

wow what beautiful books & very informative on the architecture, tools...valuable information in those drawings. As an artist who did a ton of pen & ink drawings...they are really wonderful...and the calligraphy as well. But what I enjoyed was your enthusiasm shared with us that makes me really wanna go take a look at this author. :) ps...thumbs down ...really??? I guess the asses are awake & grouchy. >.< I loved it.

@chrissyemert8781 7 лет назад

I can see this video is spontaneous and impassioned. rocking that bed head, great video!

@Brifromscratch 7 лет назад

Or pre-bed head. :)

@glennanderson8783 7 лет назад

Art and Bri, thanks for the links where to get Sloan's books. I have to add them to my Americana collection right next to my books on John Deere tractors.

@sherryduncan7968 7 лет назад

Thanks art ! we love books like this. Hubbies birthday is coming and I think this would be the perfect gift. Love your book review. Thanks again.

@Brifromscratch 7 лет назад

He will really enjoy these. It makes it easy to buy Art presents when I know how much he loves these books! - Bri

@HilltopFarmHomestead 7 лет назад

What a great video Art. I love history and really get caught up in it. Thanks for sharing.

@susiefennhaven339 3 года назад

There is a wonderful book that I highly recommend called SEVENTEEN DOLLARS A SQUARE INCH ~A Personal Tribute to Eric Sloane by Forrest Fenn. Eric and Forrest were friends. Forrest had a great appreciation for Eric and sold his paintings at the Fenn Gallery in Santa Fe, NM.

@pippad531 7 лет назад

a perfect video to enjoy with my tea this evening. xxx

@gerrymarmee3054 7 лет назад

This is one of my favorite views ever. Alas those barns are disappearing. Going to check out these books.

@craigmooring2091 7 лет назад

Those who are interested in seeing these tools and methods being used exclusively (except for hauling the felled logs) today on a homestead, should search "Mr. Chickadee" on You Tube. Also check some of Wranglerstar's older videos on timber framing.

@yokomzare201 7 лет назад

My Dad owned all the Eric Sloan books through out the 70S and 80s. Not sure where the books are now. Great Vid and memories. Thanks

@monarawles5832 7 лет назад

oh my- try to find them! they are true treasures!

@bumblebee7922 7 лет назад

Oh! That is SO cool that your dad had these books!

@AbandonedMaine 7 лет назад

Highly recommended! The Noah book was my favorite at Grandmas summer camp on the Maine coast growing up.

@Brifromscratch 7 лет назад

We don't have that one. Will have to check it out!

@AbandonedMaine 7 лет назад

+ART and BRI You showed it! The diary of an early American boy. Noah Blake.

@copperhousefarm4794 7 лет назад

Art I want to thank you, for such a great video! Let me first say that all thumbs down are from people who do not like to read and do not like to learn in this fashion. You gave a wealth of knowledge with these books, I will be looking to buy these books. Also if you have not watch the barn builders. You will love the show. They go around the country and save old barns and give them a new purpose in life.

@Revrett 7 лет назад

Very very nice. I really liked this. Thanks for doing things out of the ordinary once in a while. God bless.

@notthistime2492 7 лет назад

We love Eric Sloan books here, too. I buy them for my son and my dad...secretly, they are for me as well as them!

@PartTimePermies 7 лет назад

You should go the The Henry Ford: a museum that was Henry Ford's collection including the Henry Ford Museum which has everything from agricultural tools (pre-industrial revolution through the advances in technology), cars (of course), trains, household items; and Greenfield village which was Henry Ford's literal collection of historic buildings that he had meticulously taken apart and reassembled in this village. It is a really nice documentation of US history with living history aspects (the Eagle Tavern, which is set up as a working Tavern where you can eat, but in the setting of the early 1800's in Michigan; a working print shop, potter, glass blower, etc). It's worth the trip to Detroit just to see this Museum. It's also worth spending multiple days exploring the different parts of the museum and village. I was lucky enough to be able to take a Michigan History class (from my dad, who taught for the local community college) that took place at the museum/village and was able to go every Saturday for a 15 week college semester.

@Brifromscratch 7 лет назад

That sounds like a great trip!

Interesting book review, very nicely done. Stuyvesant- pronounced Steye vah sant, not Stew vah sant. Peter Stuyvesant was a founding figure in New Netherland which later became New York, after the Dutch turned it over to the British.

@orreng 7 лет назад

What a neat video. Thanks!!!

@chopwoodfarm1974 7 лет назад

Thank you for the information, Art. I suspect (no way to be sure) that I was born in the wrong century. As much as I appreciate things like surgeons washing their hands and refrigeration, I think I would have been right at home anywhen between 1620 and 1920.

The drawing of the old Log roads made me laugh, all the main roads but one in my community still have the old logs under their fill! Over the years they have caused a lot of problems, and yet they keep just patching them instead of redoing the roads, lol

@Brifromscratch 7 лет назад

Wow.
