This collection of thirty-one original essays and an extensive bibliography will enable readers to gain an understanding of American agricultural history across region and time as well as focus on specific subjects, themes, and issues. The contents of these essays begin at 8,000 BCE and range to the third decade of the twenty-first century.

The essays offer a comprehensive overview of critical areas in American agricultural history.

Moreover, this collection provides an assessment of nearly a century of scholarship written by historians, political scientists, economists, geographers, anthropologists, sociologists, and environmentalists, among others to constitute a book of essays that is foundational to the study of American agricultural history.
