Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book re-evaluates the advantages of emigration to the Western United States in the early 1800s, as promoted by various contemporary accounts, such as Morris Birkbeck's "Letters from Illinois." The author, a resident of central Pennsylvania, counters the ideas of a better life in the West, grounding his arguments in an insightful examination of the environmental, economic, and health-related drawbacks of settling on the prairies and other rich bottom lands. Drawing on his experience as a farmer, the author presents an alternative vision of prosperity achievable with better management of moderately fertile ridge lands in the East. The book delves into various agricultural, climatic, and economic themes, offering a critical analysis of the overselling of westward expansion and emphasizing the benefits of sustainable land practices, health considerations, and realistic assessments of economic opportunities.
