Synopsis
In a rural Kentucky river town, "Old Jack" Beechum, a retired farmer, sees his life again through the shades of one burnished day in September 1952. Bringing the earthiness of America's past to mind, The Memory of Old Jack conveys the truth and integrity of the land and the people who live it. Through the eyes of one man can be seen the values of Americans strived to recapture as we arrived at the next century., Old Jack, born just after the American Civil War and dying in contemporary times, spends one beautiful September day in Port William, his home since birth, remembering. The story tells of the most searing moments of Old Jack's life, particularly his debt to his sister Nancy and her husband Ben Feltner, Old Jack's model of what an honorable manhood and strength might be. "Few novelists treat both their characters and their readers with the kind of respect that Wendell Berry displays in this deeply moving account . . . The Memory of Old Jack is a slab of rich Americana." -- The New York Times Book Review, Old Jack, born just after the American Civil War and dying in contemporary times, spends one beautiful September day in Port William, his home since birth, remembering.

    What a great experience purchasing from this seller. The item arrived exactly as described except in even better condition than indicated in the listing. The packaging for shipping did an excellent job protecting the item in transit. Excellent seller, quality, and value.

    Item arrived on time. Seller shipped book in envelope with no reinforcement- so book corner was bent. Unknown if book was as described due to shipping carrier carelessness. Book also appeared like it was packed with dirt or dust? (Again- likely a shipping carrier issue.) the book is a gift for someone and I know they like recycling for books. Probably fine.
