Appears unread. The dust jacket is without flaw. 9.5 inches tall; 244 pages with an index; in-text illustrations. During the period between the American Revolution and the Civil War, many wealthy merchants, financiers, manufacturers, lawyers, and politicians from Boston's upper class moved out to country estates. They took up farming as a hobby and started agricultural and gardening clubs. It's interesting to note that these men, who played a big role in shifting Massachusetts from a farming to a commercial and industrial economy, spent so much time embracing rural life. In her engaging and well-illustrated book, Tamara Plakins Thornton explores these rural interests. She argues that elite Bostonians used their connections to farming to portray themselves as virtuous members of a respected American upper class.

Seller's Description:
VG. Burgundy cloth, gilt letters on spine, blue & color illus. dust jacket, 244 pp., 44 BW illus. "Between the Revolution and the Civil War, many merchants, financiers, manufacturers, lawyers, and politicians of Boston's elite settled on country estates, took up gentlemen farming, and founded agricultural and horticultural societies. It is a curious fact of history that these men, who were directly responsible for changing the Massachusetts economy from a farming to a commercial and industrial one, spent so much time identifying themselves with things rural and agrarian. [This book] documents these rural pursuits and argues that elite Bostonians drew on their rich reservoir of associations to characterize themselves as virtuous members of a legitimate American elite."
