Isaac Brock Thayer: Gentleman Farmer

By Robert Lloyd Sons

Isaac Thayer: Gentleman Farmer

This inspiring true-style story, both fact and fiction, introduces young readers to the life of Isaac Brock Thayer, a boy who left home at just seventeen with little more than courage, determination, and a third-grade education.

Through hard work, honesty, and perseverance, Isaac traveled north looking for opportunity. Along the way he learned the value of family, kindness, and keeping your word. Even when life treated him unfairly, Isaac never gave up. He worked the railroad, farmed the land, raised a loving family with his wife Ola, and earned the respect of everyone who knew him.

Set against the backdrop of early American farm life and the Great Depression, this beautifully illustrated story teaches children that character, hard work, and integrity matter more than wealth.

Isaac Thayer: Gentleman Farmer is a heartwarming story about resilience, family roots, and the legacy one ordinary man can leave for generations to come.

Perfect for young readers who enjoy stories about history, family, and the strength of the human spirit.
