The Farm Press, Reform and Rural Change, 1895-1920
Author: John J. FryPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135475350
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
This project contributes to our understanding of rural Midwesterners and farm newspapers at the turn of the century. While cultural historians have mainly focused on readers in town and cities, it examines Midwestern farmers. It also contributes to the "new rural history" by exploring the ideas of Hal Barron and others that country people selectively adapted the advice given to them by reformers. Finally, it furthers our understanding of American farm newspapers themselves and offers suggestions on how to use them as sources.
