Book Description
Excerpt from Early American Soil Conservationists The acreage under cultivation near the coast increased, and farms grew larger. More and more ground was plowed up. More forest was devastated. More grass was eaten by the growing herds of cattle, hogs, and horses. Soon farmers lived all along the coast. They came in larger and larger numbers. Many fell by the wayside, victims of hardship, disease, or Indians. But still they came. The towns grew larger, became crowded. The more adventurous explored the back woods and carved out farms there. They banded together and formed inland towns They advanced farther and farther into the wilderness. They pushed up the river valleys, sought out the richest land and farmed it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
