Agriculture in Virginia, 1607-1699
Lyman Carrier
Jamestown's settlers arrived knowing English fields and met a wholly different way of growing food. Lyman Carrier traces agriculture in early Virginia from 1607 to 1699, comparing Old World methods, Indian tillage, and the crops that finally took hold. A crisp history of two farming traditions colliding on new ground. See how America's first farms were really made.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
