New Book Released
"It seems to me the time has arrived...a human experiment station is being established."
Those words by Eleanor Roosevelt marked the beginning of one of the New Deal's most influential, and least known, projects - the Division of Subsistence Homsteads. Designed to create a"new" American, and a new America, it resulted in the establishment of modern America as we know it.
My first book, Back to the Land: Arthurdale, FDR's New Deal, and the Costs of Economic Planning is now availble on Amazon and tells the story of Arthurdale, that project's crown jewel.
