This book is presented as "A sketchbook of early american education" Which it is. The Sketches are great. You can tell the author really enjoyed traveling to all the different school houses and drawing each of them. The reverent way in which he describes them and the period is almost like hearing a ghost story or listening to one of Grandpa's old tales. If you like old buildings, especially schoolhouses, you will enjoy this book.
