520 _a"A Living from the Land" by William Budington Duryee is a practical guide on homesteading and agricultural living, written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the growing trend of families moving from urban areas back to the countryside, emphasizing the knowledge and skills needed to cultivate the land successfully. It is intended for inexperienced individuals or families interested in establishing a homestead and finding sustainable income through agricultural practices, including crop production and animal husbandry. At the start of the book, the author reflects on the historical significance of agriculture in America and contrasts it with modern industrial society's challenges. He discusses the return to the land as a means of achieving economic security and improving quality of life amidst urbanization's complexities. The opening chapters outline essential considerations for transitioning to country living, such as selecting appropriate land, understanding soil types, and effectively establishing a country residence equipped with necessary utilities. Duryee aims to convey that, equipped with the right knowledge and resources, a successful and fulfilling rural life is possible. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
