Synopsis
Excerpt from Electricity Comes to Rural America
Only urban folkssnapped switches to move wheels and get light, or do the wash, or bake a cake, or make elevators move. Farm families knew the toil of the pump handle, the hot sadiron and the treadle-powered grind stone. They grew up in a coal-oil world where man lived by the sweat of his brow.
