OK, to make this fair, we’re holding all comments on each of these quotes in moderation for a full 72 hours. This means no copying-and-pasting! Once those comments are posted, the entries for that quote are closed.
We will post one quote a day for the next two weeks.
All folks who get the correct book, chapter and scene for every quote of the two weeks will be put in the drawing through random.org for a copy of my new book, More than a Farmer’s Wife: Voices of American Farm Women, 1910-1960. (If there is more than one person who gets all the quotes right. But I suspect there are some hard-core know-it-all folks out there! )
Ready?
Set?
Go!
