This work takes the reader on a cultural tour of the American institution and landscape - midwestern families and their farms.
Prairie Patrimony consolidates, refines, advances and grounds recent scholarship that challenges familiar platitudes about family farming and rural life in the United States. . . . No one should doubt the great contribution that Salamon has made to our understanding of American rural life.""-- American Studies ""[Salamon's] approach yields a depth of information about farming culture not usually found in the literature on rural America.""-- Choice ""Takes the reader on a cultural tour of a cherished American institution and landscape--midwestern farm families and their farms. With perceptive attention to detail and knowledge borne of first-hand study over many years, [Salamon] skillfully reveals the pervasive imprint of ethnicity. . . . Prairie Patrimony represents one of those rare studies that enrich our social vision and understanding in extraordinary ways.""--Glen H. Elder, Jr., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ""Salamon's book is a remarkable contribution to the study of agriculture and culture, and its cross-disciplinary approach will engage scholars in many areas. For historians, it is a splendid illustration that different behaviors between American and immigrant farmers, planted over a century ago in the Middle West, have endured to the present.""--Jon Gjerde, University of California, Berkeley
