Generous Fruits: A Survey of American Homesteading

In this--the first comprehensive chronicle of American homesteading from earliest settlement to the current day--author Barbara Bamberger Scott quickly establishes her voice as a passionate urban homesteader and accomplished writer. Scott's personal, "I've-been-there" approach to the subject--its roots and branches, its past and future--targets both the avid practitioner and the armchair philosopher. Highly recommended for anyone who has walked this path, or is considering it.
