About this product
by Lyman Carrier (Author)
A clear, powerful portrait of Virginia's first centuries, Agriculture In Virginia, 1607-1699 invites readers to walk the fields where tobacco shaped towns, laws, and livelihoods. It is a historical monograph that reads with the urgency of a novel and the discipline of a source-study, offering a grounded account of soil, crop cycles, and the evolving economy that bound colonists to the Tidewater region. Lyman Carrier's exploration blends plant, labour, and settlement into a cohesive narrative about land use, farming practices, and the rise of a tobacco plantation economy. The book illuminates themes of adaptation, environmental change, and community, presenting a nonfiction history that is as informative for students and educators as it is resonant for general readers who love well-sustained historical argument and exacting detail. The work is of literary and historical significance, standing as a reference that penetrates beyond anecdote to explain the practical realities of seventeenth-century America. It will appeal to casual readers craving context and to classic-literature collectors seeking a thoughtfully restored primary-edge text. Selling points: Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This volume offers a reliable bridge to early American agriculture, tobacco cultivation history, and the larger story of land use in Virginia for scholars, history students, and readers building a reading list of enduring classic studies.
