Abstract

The author of this text/reference book has done an excellent job in synthesizing nearly four hundred years of American agriculture in four hundred pages. R. Douglas Hurt, who has authored seven books on agricultural history, possesses the expertise to condense the material needed to cover the vast time period involved, while at the same time making it both scholarly and readable. The narrative, which is chronological, is divided into nine chapters as follows: 1. The Native America Experience; 2. The Colonial Years; 3. The New Nation; 4. Antebellum America; S. The Gilded Age; 6. The Age of Prosperity; 7. Troubled Times; 8. Days of Uncertainty; 9. Epilogue.
