Logan Ward, See you in a hundred years: four seasons in forgotten America

摘要

In 2001, Logan Ward and his wife, Heather, made a bog-glement of trades: e-mail for quill pen and paper, supermarket for garden, flush toilet for outhouse, beat-up Taurus station wagon for a Percheron and an even more beat-up wagon, streetlights for stars. Offhand, only the last trade sounds like a good one. But with an almost manic determination, Logan and Heather left jobs at a nationally known magazine and a think tank and moved themselves, bag, baggage, and 2-year-old son, Luther, from New York City to acreage and an 1885 farmhouse in a rural community in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. The driving force was their need to find an antidote to fast-paced city living and the consequent burnout.
