Great Meadow - Farmers and the Land in Colonial Concord

Zusammenfassung The farmers of colonial New England have been widely accused of farming extensively, neglecting manure, wearing out their land, and moving on. This work offers a history of the early farming practices of Concord, Massachusetts, and challenges the long-standing notion that colonial husbandry degraded the land.
