erinmp's review against another edition
4.0
The story of America's oldest working family farm is brilliantly told in this book for younger readers. The book lists each member of the twelve generations who ran the Dover, NH farm starting with a young immigrant named John Tuttle in 1632 up to the youngest member of the family, Grayson Tuttle in 2007. The farm has greatly expanded since the first Tuttle's day, but the work ethic and love for the land has remained the same. I think that this book really spoke to me because my ancestors, up to my grandfather, were all farmers and the first to settle in this area also arrived in 1632. Or was it 1628? After seeing all the dates in the book I can't remember right now. Regardless, this is a wonderful book that not only discusses the amazing history of a farm, but the history of America. The illustrations are wonderful and amazing. Great book.
