About this title

Synopsis

This book constructs a practical program of land settlement for discharged World War I soldiers and sailors in the United States, proposing to place the war hero farmers on the land to address national prosperity and social progress. The author has studied land settlement programs in other countries, including Canada, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, France, and other nations, to draw upon the successes and failures of similar schemes in proposing a plan for the United States. The book discusses topics such as rural credit, the problems of successful agriculture, and society's peacetime responsibilities to those who fought in its defense. Particularly significant are the insights the author provides on what makes for success or failure in farming, which are not confined to soldiers but extend to any who might seek to establish themselves as farmers. This book is an essential resource for anyone with an interest in the history of farming, land settlement, or the major social issues of the early 20th century.
