Editorial Reviews

"A crusading book? Certainly it's a crusading book-and an important one. A book that every countryman and every gardener should read and get excited about. And the best of all is that it presents the Bromfields as a well-knit, highly intelligent family, who are having a whale of a time." -New York Herald Tribune
"A rare book of abundant variety . . . breathes the satisfaction of a busy rewarding life. This is a book for thoughtful people who love America. It will be read with gratitude far and wide. It is beautifully written." -Chicago Tribune
"A book filled with what seems to a layman much sound sense about farming, in addition to many diverting anecdotes." -The New York Times
"The record of a one-man crusade to revitalize the land, told with skill and energy. A record and a book of which to be proud." -Atlantic Monthly
"Part diary, by a man who enjoys working the land; part argument, to prove what can be done; part exultation in the results. It's inspiring." -New York World Telegram
"The major part of this book is the story of the way Louis Bromfield and his family and helpers succeed in rebuilding a house, the soil and all the accessories of rural life on a farm in mid-Ohio. It is a rich and varied description, a testament to the power of the good earth." -Commonweal
"In this book, he gets down to describing in detail the hard work of actually farming the land in an intelligent manner (although he would contend this is actually less work than not farming intelligently)."
-Bob on Books blog
