76 YEARS LATER was written by an author who grew up on a farm in Southern Ohio during the Great Depression. Included in this work are many mechanical details and stories passed on from his Father and other family members of the farming community as well as a number of items of local folklore that were based on events dating as far back as the Civil War. Persons interested in collecting old farm equipment and tractors, or antique automobiles can find the answers to questions of "How did this come about" or "where did this come from?" A number of events of humor are included as well a a listing of many of the hardships that took place especially during the Depression and World War II. Parents and Grandparents may find this a useful tool of reference when passing on their memories to their second and third generation offspring.
