Description

A Soul Housed Up is an intelligent woman's account-always authentic, often amusing, at times inspiring-of life in rural Central Texas during the last years of the Depression and World War II. A selection of the journalism of Ethel Neal Yeager, its scope ranges from matters as intimate as taking a bath in a washtub in cold weather to considerations of international business and statesmanship.A Soul Housed Up introduces the reader to Ethel Yeager, a ranch-bred farm woman who considers the daily round of early rising, cow milking, fire building, vermin fighting, house mending, meal fixing, and weather watching on almost every page, and from the details of that round she compounds structures of commentary. She peoples the pages with those who shared her life, and the portraits-some a single line, others whole essays-are the equals of any.A Soul Housed Up rewards the historian, the sociologist, the lover of fine writing. It raises questions which later became central to the feminist movement. Her people move in their spheres-Rochelle, Brady, Austin-and show the reader a difficult but very lively world rather removed from the gelled popular impression of that time. Yeager shows us a society whose economy was depressed. Its people were not.A Soul Housed Up invites the reader to share the world of a woman whose acute gift of observation was paired with a soul infinitely humane. Her writing shows a spirit completely connected to the universe it inhabits, perplexed by the ways of garden weeds and awe-struck by thoughts of eternity. That spirit found no venue alien to its genial nose-poking, and Yeager's columns provide a window onto those explorations of the world she beheld from her pasture and found wonderful.
