About the Book

A Rain Washed Earth by Carl J. Nelson is an account of how it was for a boy growing up on a farm in north central Wisconsin in the 1920s. The author, on visiting the country graveyard where his parents are buried and then on touring the gravestones of others, remembers his boyhood and his involvement with the people buried there.

It describes an enriching way of life that has been lost in our current consumerist modern style. However, much of it can be regained and help bring modernity back to a healthy personal independence and an environmental concern.
