Plot

Frogs croaking in the night. It is a sound we can learn to live without in the city, but it can instantly summon a flood of memories of a country childhood. This National Geographic hardcover book uses photography and descriptive prose to tell the story of rural America in the 1970s. Five chapters describe "our roots", small towns, work, leisure and community outside and away from our growing cities.
