Synopsis

The Land, the People Reflections on our kinship with the soil

About this title

Review:

Ms. Peden's writings remind us that we have not only survived the challenges and fed upon the beauty of the land, but we have thrived as a people by drawing strength from our humble country roots.--Judie Sutherland "Farm and Dairy Magazine "

Peden was a wonderful writer who accurately and poignantly captured the people and the rapid changes associated with rural America of the time.--agriculture.purdue.edu

With language echoing Emerson and Thoreau, Peden's work reveals her love of land and soil. Although ostensibly about the simple life, this thoughtful book raises complex issues still relevant today. Vol. 107, no. 1, March 2011--Indiana Magazine of History
