Yearbook of Agriculture 1905, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1906

Who wrote it: Published by the U.S. Government Printing Office in 1906, this is the annual Yearbook of Agriculture for the year 1905, produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

What it's about: Packed with reports on farming methods, pest control, rural life, and agricultural policy, the Yearbook is a rich time capsule of American rural life in the early 20th century, complete with period photographs and maps.

Special features: The book includes period photographic plates and detailed maps throughout, documenting American agriculture and rural landscapes at the turn of the century.

Why I like it: I absolutely love the entire Yearbook of Agriculture series. They are such a fun time piece of American history as it pertains to farmers and household life.

Condition: Purple cloth hardcover; no dust jacket. Spine shows fraying at top and bottom consistent with age, and cover has some soiling. Interior has age spotting on endpapers; photographic plates are intact. Please review all photos carefully, and email me with any questions.

Thanks so much for visiting, ❤️ Jess
