American Agriculture: A Brief History

Rating:
Summary: Essential Part of American History
Review: Best one volume history of American agriculture by dean of American agricultural historians; much superior to Danbom, Born in the County, which attempts a similar brief summary.Good bibliographies of additional readings. Although America was primarily an agricultual county for 250 years, most conventional histories ignore this fact. This book supply an essential missing dimentsion, although the reader still has to do a good deal of work to relate it to political,cultural, and economic history that was going on at the same time.
