The Country-Life Movement in the United States
Liberty Hyde Bailey
Do not read this as a plea to flee the city, Liberty Hyde Bailey insists, but as a call to make rural life worth living for those already there. Drawing on the federal Commission on Country Life, he lays out the movement to improve schools, roads, and community in the American countryside. A thoughtful manifesto from the era's leading rural reformer. Renew the country from within.
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.
