Is a comprehensive work that chronicles a distinctive era in American education. The first section provides an overview of the historical role of rural schools in the United States. It is followed by a section on architecture and concludes with several chapters on documenting and preserving country schools. Also included are a new preface and introduction, as well as an updated list of sources and an appendix that lists all existing country schools owned by communities and historical societies. The text is rich in anecdotes from extensive research and interviews with teachers and pupils. More than four hundred striking photographs -- historical views, modern-day scenes, exteriors and interiors, help bring to life the people as well as the buildings.
