Brown, Bruce Lone Tree: A True Story of Murder in America's Heartland
New York, New York, U.S.A. Crown Pub 1989 0517569876 / 9780517569870 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good + Very Good + 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
A photo of this book is available. Stated First Edition. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Remainder mark on top (outside page edges). NO price clippings. ONLY writing/mark inside book is previous owner's signature in book front (Mary Frasne). Tight spine, clean pages. 220 pages. Publishers Weekly: In 1985 in Lone Tree, Iowa, well-to-do farmer Dale Burr killed his wife, his banker and a neighbor, then committed suicide. He had feared that he would lose his farm and hence the work of his family for three generations, although that may not have been the case. Using this tragedy as a springboard, Brown ( Mountain in the Clouds ), a third-generation farmer himself, discusses the history of farming in England from the time of Henry VIII to the repeal of the Corn Laws, and in America from colonial days to the present. We learn that in this country, since independence, farmers were subject to cyclical crises until the New Deal and its program of subsidies; in more recent times this program has been almost eliminated and the result has been the increasing failure of family farms. As a true crime tale the book is pedestrian, but as a sermon on the possible grim fate of the American farmer, it is powerful.

Critchfield, Richard Trees, Why Do You Wait?: America's Changing Rural Culture
Island Press 1991 1559630280 / 9781559630283 Trade Paperback Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. 265 pages. NO writing, marks or tears. Richard Critchfield, author of the best-selling books Villages and An American Looks at Britain, examines the inescapable link between the decline of America's rural roots and the decay of our cities. Trees, Why Do You Wait? is a moving oral history chronicling the changes taking place in rural America. Through it, we meet real people of the heartland and feel the suffering and the strength in their relationship to the land. Library Journal This is a distressing study of the decline of two small farming communities in Iowa and North Dakota by the author of Villages (LJ 5/15/81). In the first chapter, Critchfield discusses the development and decline of rural societies around the world. He then features interviews with prosperous, semi-prosperous, and poor farmers from the two communities who provide important insights into the sociological and economic forces that contributed to the decline of farming in their areas. Critchfield asserts that the survival of the urban sector is dependent upon a thriving rural sector, and he presents proposals for saving family farms and rural communities from prominent people in agriculture. Like Janet Fitchen in Endangered Spaces, Endangered Places ( LJ 3/1/91), Critchfield offers a disturbing look at America's rural infrastructure

Davidson, Osha Gray Broken Heartland: The Rise of America's Rural Ghetto
Free Pr 1990 0029070554 / 9780029070550 Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
A photo of this book is available. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears. 206 pages. Printing number: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Synopsis Between 1940 and the mid 1980s, farm production expenses in America's Heartland tripled, capital purchases quadrupled, interest payments jumped tenfold, profits fell 10 percent, the number of farmers decreased by two-thirds, and nearly every farming community lost population, businesses, and economic stability. Growth for these desperate communities has come to mean low-paying part-time jobs, expensive tax concessions, waste dumps, and industrial hog farming, all of which come with environmental and psychological price tags. In Broken Heartland, Osha Gray Davidson chronicles the decline of the Heartland and its transformation into a bitterly divided and isolated regional ghetto. Through interviews with more than two hundred farmers, social workers, government officials, and scholars, he puts a human face on the farm crisis of the 1980s. In this expanded edition, Davidson emphasizes the tenacious power of far-right-wing groups; his chapter on these burgeoning rural organizations in the original edition of Broken Heartland was the first in-depth look - six years before the Oklahoma City bombing - at the politics of hate they nurture. He also spotlights NAFTA, hog lots, sustainable agriculture, and the other battles and changes over the past six years in rural America.
