“Another fine, reflective, anecdotal look at rural Texas.” —New Yorker “Graves writes eloquently about a countryman’s concerns. There's not a false note in the book.” —Boston Globe “Like the unmortared stone fences of Graves’s native hill country, From a Limestone Ledge is constructed of bits and pieces never designed to fit together, yet made to achieve a unity that is more enduring than the sum of its individual parts by the hands of a master craftsman.” —Southwestern Historical Quarterly “The beauty of his work endures, and there is a greater pride in Texans’ hearts for their home, I think, than there would be if he hadn’t written the books he did.” —Rick Bass, Garden & Gun “In describing the particulars of his surroundings, Graves often was describing the world in microcosm and the place and plight of humankind in it.” —Bryan Woolley, Dallas Morning News .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The style of the book is an easy laid back description of a do-it-yourself subsistence lifestyle. It is a good read for winding down from a stressful hurried urban life.
As the book is a collection of stories, there is no plot. The last story seems out of place for this book. it involves a failed attempt to aquire used equipment from a failed landowner. The story has no purpose in the book to me. Partly for that reason I do not rate this book as high as many others. (
