Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land and Its People, Chapters in Rural Life and History The following pages bear, more or less directly, on questions of the moment which are daily assuming graver importance. The first five chapters deal with a striking change in our social and economic history. It is the transformation of rural districts in the course of the transition from collective to individual farming, the altered position of cultivators of the soil, and the consequent torpor which has fallen on the life of country villages. The interest of the subject is not merely antiquarian: it is living and actual. Nearly every stage in the history is the subject of political, social or economic controversy, though, as it seems to me, the underlying agricultural causes, which influenced and sometimes controlled the movement, have been neglected both by its assailants and its defenders. On the break-up of village farms, one group of politicians found an attack on private property in land. On their revival on modem lines, another group base their hopes of the prosperity of a reorganized agriculture. In the study of their working may lie the partial solution of the problem of labour on the land. For centuries, the English peasantry not only cultivated but occupied the soil. The wage-earning workers of to-day have not forgotten the ideals and traditions of their ancestors, which the unchanging conditions of their industry preserve freshly in their memories. Finally, it may be hoped that a brief sketch of the medieval system may help some dwellers in the country to realize with greater vividness new meanings and interests in their familiar surroundings.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Rural Life and Labour Outside my previous books - brief extracts from a small selection of the press opinions on which are given on a page preceding the title page of this work - I am unaware of any book in which even an endeavour has been made to present, in anything like concrete form, a subject that is of urgent national importance to all British peoples. Scattered through newspapers and magazines there have been, during the past half century, brief and fragmentary allusions to this subject; but I was the first, I think, in 1872, to put it into consecutive book form, and to endeavour to make a comprehensive picture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of English Rural Life: From the Anglo-Saxon Invasion to the Present Time To those - and they are now many - who are earnestly seeking for a true solution of our many agricultural problems, industrial, social and political, the study of the conditions prevailing in rural England from the earliest historical times and of the vicissitudes, both of our greatest national industry and of the classes engaged in it, is an indispensable equipment. By such investigation alone can the difficulties of these problems be appreciated, blunders in rural policy be avoided, and antagonistic interests be reconciled. It will be rendered easy and attractive by a careful perusal of this little book, which skilfully summarizes the chief features of English village life and English agricultural history from Anglo-Saxon times down to the XXth century. And a chequered and kaleidoscopic history it is, replete with picturesque incident, remarkable in the vicissitudes of fortune of both rural industry and rural population, and, as regards the peasant and (more recently) the agricultural labourer, infinitely pathetic and at times tragic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Land Remembered has become Florida's favorite novel. Now this Student Edition in two volumes makes this rich, rugged story of the American pioneer spirit more accessible to young readers. Patrick Smith tells of three generations of the MacIveys, a Florida family battling the hardships of the frontier. The story opens in 1858, when Tobias and Emma MacIvey arrive in the Florida wilderness with their son, Zech, to start a new life, and ends in 1968 with Solomon MacIvey, who realizes that his wealth has not been worth the cost to the land. Between is a sweeping story rich in Florida history with a cast of memorable characters who battle wild animals, rustlers, Confederate deserters, mosquitoes, starvation, hurricanes, and freezes to carve a kingdom out of the Florida swamp. In this volume, meet young Zech MacIvey, who learns to ride like the wind through the Florida scrub on Ishmael, his marshtackie horse, his dogs, Nip and Tuck, at this side. His parents, Tobias and Emma, scratch a living from the land, gathering wild cows from the swamp and herding them across the state to market. Zech learns the ways of the land from the Seminoles, with whom his life becomes entwined as he grows into manhood. Next in series > > See all of the books in this series

The road was very muddy, I remember, and the rain for it poured dripped off the rim of my hat. Had it been winter, I thought, the water would have frozen into ici cles, which would have made a pretty design for a hat such as she could Wear to advantage.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Hours Saturday, March Mia - Everything about us looks thoroughly wintry still, and fresh snow lies on the ground to the depth of a foot. One quite enjoys the sleighing, however, as there was very little last month. Drove several miles down the valley this morn ing in the teeth of a sharp wind, and flurries of snow, but after facing the cold bravely, one brings home a sort of virtuous glow which is not to be picked up by cowering over the fireside; it is with this as with more important matters, the effort brings its own reward.

This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 958 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rural Community, Ancient and Modern Rural social life in the final analysis always reduces to the problem of locality, neighborhood, community. There is no escaping this fact. And there is no successful study, understanding, or redirection in this field save it be in these terms. To be sure, community is said to be wanting in the country; and there is much truth in the statement. But the fact of its absence does not lessen its importance nor justify any neglect of its consideration. On the contrary, it would seem to offer a challenge to find out just its extent, to determine its nature, to rediscover its forces, and to organize its interests in every locality. For in truth the ultimate goal of all efforts toward rural social uplift is the development of the social unities, or, in other words, the achievement of community. About what nuclei or centres the unifying forces of the country are playing and are tending to crystallize is the foremost question involved in the rural problem. It is contended by some that the villages, towns, and small cities form natural centres and that they are to be the focal points of communization for the farm districts. This claim is not without justification, for it is at once apparent to the observer that country life in a consider able measure does revolve about such places. As evidence that the present development is largely if not altogether favorable to the town-centring process, attention is called to the changes being effected by good roads, more adequate and rapid means of transportation, and facilities for quicker communication. Outstanding among these changes is the resulting approachment between town and country along the lines of a closer affiliation of church, school, family, lodge, and club life, as well as in more intimate business relations.
