Description

This is a classic account of Sturt's life as a wheelwright in the late 19th century. It offers a unique glimpse into the working lives of craftsmen in a world since banished by technology. The wheelwrights shop where he entered business had been operating for 2 centuries; this chronicle, first published in 1923, is a poignant record of that tradition, written as it was passing into history.
