This volume features the memoirs of James Wood III (1927-2024) of Bedford, New York's Braewold Farm. Jim's writings tell of his almost eight decades living on the farm his ancestors first purchased in 1809, as well as his years following Braewold's sale in 2005. Jim describes his childhood, education, Navy service, career and investment endeavors, social and recreational activities, community involvement, and travels. His personal history and numerous colorful stories also feature his wife of seventy years, Twink, and two children, Emily and Steve. Life in the town of Bedford and environs during the Great Depression and World War II is discussed, and the book offers considerable detail as to the broad range of farming activities carried on at Braewold, beginning in the early decades of the nineteenth century.
