Articoli correlati a Three Acres and Liberty
"A book that should be in the hands of every land owner - large and small - as well as every city man who is tired of his environment of bricks and mortar, and longs to improve his condition and the health and happiness of his family by getting out into God's green fields and making a living there, but does not know how. This book tells how, and cites hundreds of instances and examples, and shows what has been accomplished by others, through intelligent intensive land culture, and how you may do the same." -Suburbanite
"The author piles fact upon authenticated instance and successful experiment upon proved example, until there is no doubt what can be done with land intensively treated. He shows where the land may be found, what kind we must have, what it will cost, and what to do with it. It is seldom we find so much enthusiasm tempered by so much experience and common sense. The book points out in a practical way the possibilities of a very small farm intensively cultivated. It embodies the results of actual experience and it is intended to be workable in every detail." -The Providence Journal
"Makes us feel that we need not be tied to a desk - but, like a freed horse, 'trot off' if we will. A little bit of land, not too far from the city, if intelligently cultivated, Bolton Hall declares, will support a family, and give them a life far more wholesome than they could ever have in the crowded city. Intensive cultivation is the password now, and if anyone wishes to know all about roseate possibilities, let him read this book. Long ago we were told that 'Ten Acres' were 'enough.' Now we are more modest, and find liberty in Three Acres." -New Outlook
"Back to the land is the author's cry and he certainly shows us unsuspected possibilities in a small piece of ground for the support and occupation of a family." -Presbyterian Banner
"For the extensive farmer and the home garden cultivator: how the new intensive culture may be applied to big land holdings." -The Bookman
"A book which soon after it appeared in 1907 aroused much discussion and caused many dwellers of the city to try 'raisin' things...The author announces that 'the book is intended to show how any one can trot off if he will' and sets forth many advances in methods and results in doing things and growing things." -The Nation
"Mr. Bolton Hall has rendered a real service....Here is a guide for the man who having been tied to a desk wishes to cut loose and enjoy the freedom of making a living from the soil. The author is not extravagantly enthusiastic, but has the good sense to point out the dangers and pitfalls that the unskilled are likely to stumble over." -Garden and Home Builder
