Description

Our American Land-1987 Yearbook of Agriculture is all about land ownership starting with the settling of our country and the signing of our Constitution. Early settlers were not concerned with conservation practices. It was President Abraham Lincoln who signed legislation creating the U. S. Department of Agriculture which led to better use of the land. Section headings include: The Land and the Constitution; Changing Patterns of Settlement; Understanding Land; Managing Land Use; Conserving Land; Coping With Nature; and New Directions. Each section seems to be written by a different individual. 323/Hardbound/Photographs/Maps/Tables.
