Co-published with the European Ethnological Research Centre in the
Flashbacks series. Andrew Ramage was the son of a farm servant and
he himself worked on the land in the Lothians and Berwickshire, in
Scotland. Subsequently he became a dock worker, lorry driver and
railwayman. Of the diary he kept over many years only three
notebooks remain. The first covers Andrew's early life from 1884
until the mid 1870s and the period from November 1888 until April
1889. The last two cover July 1914 to June 1917. In his account the
uncertain realities of rural employment and dwelling are revealed
and they dispel the bucolic image often attached to descriptions of
19th-century country life. We learn of the travails of a young man
making his way in the world at a time of great social and economic
change and, later, of the concerns of parenthood and aging at a
time of war-time strife.
