About this product

Product Information

Since precolonial times, agriculture has been deeply woven into the fabric of Pennsylvania's history and culture. Pennsylvania Farming presents the first history of Pennsylvania agriculture in than more sixty years and offers a completely new perspective. Sally McMurry goes beyond a strictly economic approach and considers the diverse forces that helped shape the farming landscape, from physical factors to cultural repertoires to labor systems. Above all, the people who created and worked on Pennsylvania's farms are placed at the center of attention. More than 150 photographs inform the interpretation, which offers a sweeping look at the evolution of Pennsylvania's agricultural landscapes right up to the present day.

Reviews
"Historical, social, economic, and cultural forces intersected to shape Pennsylvania's agricultural landscapes. Pennsylvania Farming shows how common farm buildings and landscape features such as cisterns, contour strips, and tree lines can be 'read' to reveal a complex layered history that offers a fresh perspective on modern-day issues such as sustainability, local foods, diversification, and small-scale agriculture." --Gabrielle M. Lanier, James Madison University, "An outstanding contribution to scholarship on Pennsylvania's historic agriculture. It merges lively writing with a careful analysis of documentary sources and field research on the state's buildings and landscapes. The book explores one of the nation's oldest and most complex ecological and cultural regions to arrive at sensible explanations about why things in the Keystone State look the way they do and how they got that way." --Ritchie Garrison, Director, Winterthur Program in American Material Culture, and Professor of History at the University of Delaware, "An outstanding contribution to scholarship on Pennsylvania's historic agriculture.

The book is a new copy (as I ordered). Arrived within the frame time. There was no way to track the shipping (which was annoying but I didn't try to contact the seller). The book was packaged in a secure envelope which protected it.
