A Boy on the Farm

<p><strong>Joseph Edward Narigon</strong> was born on the family farm in rural Adams County Iowa on March 27 1929 just before the Great Depression swept across America. Joseph's childhood memoirs originally written in 2003 paint a picture of the bucolic family farm. With no electricity no running water and no motor vehicles Joseph's family worked tirelessly seven days a week to operate a fully functioning self-sustaining farm. Meet the pets the horses the livestock the family members and the wily neighbors that helped keep the farm running. Witness the introduction of modern technologies and how innovation and can-do attitude cultivated the American landscape.</p>
