Description
Abe Martin's Almanac for 1909 is a book written by Kin Hubbard. The book is a collection of humorous anecdotes, jokes, and observations about life in rural America in the early 20th century. The book is named after its fictional protagonist, Abe Martin, a folksy Hoosier character who dispenses homespun wisdom and witty commentary on everything from politics to the weather. The book is organized by month and includes a calendar of important dates, as well as tips on farming, gardening, and other rural pursuits. Throughout the book, Hubbard's writing is marked by a wry sense of humor and a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures of country life. Abe Martin's Almanac for 1909 is a charming and entertaining glimpse into a bygone era, and a testament to the enduring appeal of humor and common sense.1908. Illustrated by the author.
