Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Farmer and His Community
Dwight Sanderson · 1922
72/100
👍 Worth It
A genuinely pioneering piece of rural sociology from 1922, freely and legally readable in full if you're curious. Expect dense academic prose and some dated assumptions, but it's a real, well-researched look at how early rural American communities held together. Worth it for anyone interested in that history.
