A Scottish farmer sailed to the New World to see whether its soil deserved its reputation. Patrick Shirreff tours North America chapter by chapter, appraising land, crops, and prospects with a working agriculturist's practiced skepticism. Part travelogue, part frank farming report from the emigrant frontier. Judge the promised land through the eyes of a man who farmed for a living.
