Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Michigan State Farmers' Institutes
Michigan. State Board of Agriculture · 1909
42/100
👎 Skip It
This one's really a public-domain government bulletin on early-1900s Michigan farming, not a book meant for general reading. It's an honest historical record, useful to a researcher or genealogist digging into that era, but it has no narrative and nothing that speaks to today's reader. I'd steer regular readers elsewhere.
