Just finished reading this one- "Growth of the Soil" by Knut Hamsun, a Norwegian. Published in 1921.
If you have some time to kill (bad weather perhaps?), and enjoy a good read you may want to pick it up. Homesteading at it's purest, full of wisdom that is as true now as it was then.
I could read it again right now. It's that good.
Longtime lurker, first time poster.
Had to chime in to say anyone that is interested in this title can read and/or download it at http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/10984 (http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/10984)
Thanks for pointing it out!
