Abstract

Ranging from pre-Columbian times to the enormous changes of the twentieth century, Born in the Country integrates agricultural, technological, and economic themes with new questions social historians have raised about the American experience--including the different experiences of whites and blacks, men and women, natives and new immigrants. --From publisher's description.
