A compilation of engrossing facts and anecdotes vitalized by author Eric Sloane's own pen, this book captures the living legacy of America as seen in "the things that were." According to Sloane, American Yesterday explores "our national attic of vanishing ways and obsolete occupations." Impressed by the artistry and sturdy realism of pioneer builders, he takes genuine delight in exploring the unique careers of barber-surgeons, dowsers, tithingmen, sawyers, nailers, plumbum-men, and a great variety of artisans, illustrating the activities, customs, and things created by the people who made their living in "antique ways."
Sloane, a devoted student of early Americana, speaks lovingly of the people who spent much of their lives creating wardrobe closets, foot stoves, church pew armrests, grindstones, featherbed patter paddles, charcoal burners, English phaetons, giant hogsheads, drovers' sleighs, windowsill sundials, and other items of long ago.
Credited with "doing gallant service, preserving records of the ways and the means of the forefathers who got along well with the resources now long forgotten" (Springfield Republican), Eric Sloane has written an immensely enjoyable book that will enchant anyone who takes pleasure in reading about the past and views its artifacts as part of a rich national heritage.

Good product!
Color: Gold
This is nicer than I expected honestly and a good value for the money. Trims amazing, the shave isn’t as close as a razor but it helps in a pinch! Charging takes forever but then it also runs on that battery for days!

Versatile trimer
This electric trimmer is very easy to use and, best of all, it includes a great attachment for trimming nose hairs. Everything feels high quality, it doesn’t irritate the skin, and it’s also very powerful.

No More Chewbacca Legs!
Color: Gold
Tons of research was done to find the best one for me. READ the instruction booklet and use common sense when using on your bikini area. ( There's ALWAYS that ONE review..) I like this a lot. Recovering from surgery and can't get into the bath for a regular shave, so being able to use this on my legs DRY was a dream! Now that it's warmer out, my legs no longer look like Chewbacca! Lol! Oh! It was already charged so that was great. I like that you can use your usb to charge this. No pain, but again, use your head, don't be digging this into your skin, tread LIGHTLY in sensitive areas.
