Childhood on the farm.

Deep in her heart, Pamela Riney-Kehrberg knew what she really wanted to do. "All four of my grandparents had grown up on the farm and left. When I became a historian, I wanted to understand my grandparents' childhood and why they all left the farm as adults." After writing Childhood on the Farm, a look at children in rural America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, she has a better understanding why her grandparents sought a better life. "Farm kids may have felt oppressed, but they also felt a great deal of pride for the level of responsibility they had for the welfare of their families. Many however didn't want their own children to have that same experience."
