- Summary
- "The residents of Terre Haute, Indiana, lived "green" out of necessity - walking to work, repairing everything from worn shoes to wristwatches, recycling milk bottles and packing containers. Music was largely heard live and most residential streets had shade trees. The nearby Wabash River - a repeated subject of story and song - transported Sunday picnickers to public parks. In the form of an old-fashioned city directory, An American Hometown celebrates a bygone American era, focusing on life in 1920s Terre Haute. With artfully drawn biographical sketches and generously illustrated histories, noted musician, historian, and storyteller Tom Roznowski not only brings to light just how many of our modern ideas of sustainable living are deeply rooted in American tradition."--BOOK JACKET.
