Brookfield Farm: Stories of Land and Lives

By Jeannette Wales Chapman

Jeannette W. Chapman, "The Story-Teller," has always lived in Cushing, Maine. This memoir of her beloved Brookfield Farm includes 35 old farm and family photos. Her purpose is to share with her grandchildren and great-grands what life was once like on this family farm. The animals, the farm chores, the tools and the tempo -- even the tree-planting - are recorded here as fond memories of a nostalgic, long-ago life-style. Jeannette still lives at Brookfield Farm, grateful that it has gained new life with a younger generation. Grandson Eli has beautifully restored the old barn and transformed it into his wood-working business. He and his young family live on the "other side" of the farmhouse. "Brookfield Farm" is not a professional work. It remains a personal gift to her family. Once Cushing friends learned of her book, however, Jeannette was soon persuaded to make it available to anyone with an interest in local history. The reader will not be disappointed.
