Title: History of Agriculture in Ohio to 1880
Author: Robert Leslie Jones
Genre: Nonfiction
Summary: Introductory chapters provide an overview of the agricultural suitability of the Ohio land-its topography, climate, soil, native flora and fauna. Following a brief history of the settlement of the state and its early farms, the bulk of the book is organized topically by farm product. Final chapters discuss the introduction of farm machinery and the rise of agricultural organizations, fairs, and similar ventures.
Rating: Very good.
Why I Like It: I know very little about the early history of Ohio and I found it very interesting, and I learned a lot.
