Back of Barn Book Info







In this work, author Evelyn Johnson makes the connection between barns on the
landscape pretty or in ruins and what they can tell us about the people and
activities around them year after year after year.

To someone interested in learning about barns, many of the new barn
publications are picture books often filled with undocumented assumptions, and
inaccurate explanations and terminology.

The Book Barns of Old Mission Peninsula rises above that. Good, quality
photographs portray the barns at their best.'
