Lost Traditions: Obsolete Occupations and Forgotten Pastimes

Tradition - the handing down of information, beliefs, and customs by word of mouth or by example from one generation to another. Many traditions are inherited, established, or practiced from a customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior. In this work, I have included traditions that have been lost through time, occupations that are, or fast becoming, obsolete and many of our favorite childhood pastimes.
