Old books are becoming endangered and there is less and less to compare new information to. Since the television and internet have replaced society and neighborhoods for many people, there is no one to pass down things by word of mouth or example. <br /><br />There was a bunch of debates on Irish Slaves in the 16 through 18th centuries on facebook. No one had ever heard about this. They were all astounded. I had heard this from the older people in my family. In the Irish way of understating things (like calling the potato famine "The Hunger"). So if I didn't know this from my family, how would I know?<br /><br />I just find it interesting. And something to consider. Maybe a library that is handed down would not be such a trifling thing anymore. Maybe one day it will be worth its weight in gold. Maybe we should all be keeping written journels to be passed on to loved ones. <br /><br />Just a thought.Carlottanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-40222497728408923732013-09-19T17:36:33.679-07:002013-09-19T17:36:33.679-07:00Haha!

We've found quite a few books dated from the 1930s and before that that pertain to holistic medicine and all sorts of useful information that would be relevant to homesteading in a time with no electricity and no access to real medical care. Also love the edible native plant books for different areas of the country and of course books that discuss many historical crafts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-23999649018847191752013-09-18T12:16:09.938-07:002013-09-18T12:16:09.938-07:00I realize your point is the importance of getting ...I realize your point is the importance of getting hard-copy of the important articles & books, but if a web page no longer exists you may find it on the Wayback Machine part of the Internet Archive (https://archive.org).
