5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent literary "picture" of a mid-western paradise!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Longview We Remember (Paperback)
I absolutely LOVED this book! It takes the reader to another time and place in history and introduces them to a group of people who lived and worked in a place as close to "perfect" that there ever was. Not only is it a great compilation of stories about the great horse woman, Loua Long-Combs, it tells the story about her wonderful home: Longview Farm. The details about it's conception and construction were fascinating. And the stories of the day-to-day life on this farm are very heart-warming and allow modern-day people a glimpse into what it was like to have lived and worked there. Longview Farm is truly a masterpiece of archetecture, and was an ideal community in it's day. It truly deserves to be remembered as an icon of American History!

2.0 out of 5 stars
History made dull,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Longview We Remember (Paperback)
Longview We Remember could have been a really great first hand account of a notable agricultural experiment. Instead, it shows the need for a strong editorial hand.The accounts of the various people who were interviewed for this book rambled and repeated with no clear direction for the narrative. Too bad - first hand accounts about history are important sources for future historians and citizens. This book will put you to sleep slowly if you are interested in Longview and quickly if you are not.
