About the Author
Rachel Peden (1901–1975) was a newspaper columnist who lived in Indiana. Her books Rural Free: A Farmwife's Almanac of Country Living and The Land, the People were reprinted by Indiana University Press in 2009 and 2010.
Review
Since Peden made her last reports from Monroe County, the rate of damage to earth’s natural systems has accelerated. Whether or not cosmic guidance is available to rescue us from our ruinous behavior, her three books offer wise counsel about living in a more respectful, durable, and joyous manner on this glorious planet. (from the Foreword by Scott Russell Sanders author of A Conservationist Manifesto, (IUP 2009))
