Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a close look at rural life in the United States, as viewed by its author who sees many problems stemming from urbanized living and depopulated farms. The author posits that farmers and farmers' families are leaving the land in droves, lured by the temptations of city life. The author contends that this is a mistake, that the country has much more to offer than the city does, especially with the advent of new technologies like the automobile, and that the solution to rural decline is to make the country a more attractive place to live. This book is a window into the challenges and adjustments faced by farmers in the early 20th century, and explores ways to combat them. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
