Carrying Water as a Way of Life: A Homesteader's History

A professor and dean flee a bankrupt college and head “back to the land” in 1977. They build a solar house and organic garden in Maine, where they enter the life of their rural town as it vanishes under pressure from land developers. Carrying Water as a Way of Life: A Homesteader's History is a chronicle of keeping faith with nature. These lyrical and wry essays celebrate human effort while mourning the loss of wilderness. Author: Linda Tatelbaum; Paperback; 120 pages.
