Rural Hours is a book written by Susan Fenimore Cooper, first published in 1850. It is a collection of essays and observations about the natural world in upstate New York, where Cooper lived. The book is divided into four seasons, with each section containing descriptions of the plants, animals, and landscapes that can be found during that time of year. Throughout the book, Cooper reflects on the beauty of nature and the importance of preserving it. She also touches on the impact of human activity on the environment, including the destruction of forests and the decline of certain animal populations. In addition to her observations of nature, Cooper includes anecdotes about the people she encounters in her rural community. She describes the daily routines of farmers and their families, as well as the customs and traditions of the local Native American tribes. Overall, Rural Hours is a celebration of the natural world and a call to protect it. Cooper's vivid descriptions and thoughtful reflections make it a timeless work of nature writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
