Description
For subsistence farmers in eastern Kentucky, rich horse owners within the central Bluegrass, and tobacco growers in Western Kentucky, land was once, and remains to be, one of the most commonwealth’s greatest sources of financial growth. It’s also a source of nostalgia for a other people devoted to tradition, a characteristic that has significantly influenced Kentucky’s culture, now and again to the detriment of education and development.
As timely now as when it was once first published, Thomas D. Clark’s classic history of agrarianism prepares readers for a new era that promises to bring rapid change to the land and the folks of Kentucky.
