Farmboy
Farmboy - by John B. Babcock
Published by DeWitt Historical Society of Tompkins County, Ithaca, NY, 1999
John Babcock was not just any teenager on any farm in the 1930s. So when he sets out to tell his children and grandchildren what life was like working on a family farm in Upstate New York, he winds up telling three distinct and engaging stories: what it means to be a farmboy in lean times, the evolution of northeast farming, and the role of his father, H.E. Babcock, as a farm leader.
