Synopsis

This book is a record of the second annual Border Agricultural Fair and the Augusta County Fair, held in Virginia in October 1868. This volume provides a fascinating glimpse into the development of agriculture in the post-Civil War South, as well as offering a rare chance to consider the inception of organized agricultural exhibitions and discussion during the era. In addition to the speeches delivered by Governor Vance and Commodore Maury, the book contains summaries of a wide-ranging series of addresses from doctors, politicians, landowners, and others that collectively capture the challenges and opportunities facing southern farmers. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the significance of community gatherings, scientific inquiry, technological advancement, and a return to agricultural fundamentals as a means for rebuilding the South's economy and culture and fostering a spirit of social kindness.
