Frye : the boots that made history : one hundred and fifty years of craftsmanship
\"Jackie O. wore them, as did John Lennon. Icons as diverse as Bruce Springsteen, Julia Roberts, Sarah Jessica Parker, wear them today. They are the timeless Frye boots! In 1863, John A. Frye opened the doors of a small shoe shop in Marlboro, Massachusetts. The shoes he made were to ease the everyday life of factory workers in that small New England town. Over a century later, the Frye Company has become the oldest continuously operating footwear brand in America. The boots Frye made weren't meant to be icons of fashion, yet somewhere along the line, they became just that. Frye: The Boots that Made History is a 150-year anniversary album that celebrates the early history of the brand, its cultural takeover in the early 1970s, and the artisanal methods that make its craftsmanship unique. Frye boots are captured in all the ways they are worn: rocked out and urbanized, accessorized and envied, worked and roughed up, flaunting their inimitable style and all-American cool. This book takes the reader through the style and personality of the distinctive designs and handsome detailing of Frye's most popular products, from its tough, treasured and instantly recognizable Harness Boot to the exclusive line dedicated to the American flag debuting this fall. With the strongest leather -- enough to withstand 20 lbs. of pressure -- and dozens of designs, the quality of Frye has always remained the same, making the brand not just a business but a way of life\"--Amazon.com, viewed October 31, 2013.

\"She went to Harvard and Princeton, yet she said that, despite having the best education academically, she was still trumped by food choices and understanding how best to feed her children,\" said Eddie Gehman Kohan, a blogger who writes about food policy for her site, Obama Foodarama. \"And she felt that experience was relatable with a lot of other people in the country.\" \"One of the first things she asked us to think about was how to engage, kids in particular but the public more broadly, in a conversation about healthy eating,\" [Jocelyn Frye] recalled. \"And she wanted to start with the garden.\" \"Every time she's photographed in the garden, she's dirty and her knees are covered with mud. She's actually digging and planting,\" noted Kohan. \"That alone tells you that this is a first lady who's different from others we've been used to. In some ways, she's addressing this historic longing for a return to simpler times, when you could feed your family from a backyard garden.\"
