- catalog abstract "Annie Perrin's daily notations in her diary, Lest We Forget, are the basis for this compassionate story of a family's life and times. In Soliloquy of a Farmers Wife, editor Randall, the diarist's grandson and a longtime university professor, writes the story of his mother's mother, Annie Perrin of northern Ohio, as seen through her diary. Received as a gift as the family set out on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Florida, Annie's diary has entries for the last three weeks of 1917 and all of 1918. It tells much about Florida, but even more about the everyday work of farming, dealing with a difficult husband, sending a son off to war, and getting through the Spanish flu epidemic. By writing the story of a woman who, like many of the players in women's history, was far too busy to write it herself, Dale Randall has paid eloquent tribute to his own forebears and to those of many others. His book is a unique and illuminating record of daily life on a small farm in midwestern America.".
