This book might be considered a homestead classic. Written in 1961, it predates the back-to-the-land movement of the 1970s and thus chronicles the steps (and missteps) of becoming a "homesteader" when modern homesteading was virtually completely unexplored territory.

Nathan Griffith, who has obtained some of the last available copies from Mr. Seymour, says, "Theirs was not a primitive and humiliating hu·mil·i·ate

, happy life of love and liberty. They ate very well indeed. They spent their time with their children. They took travel holidays, sometimes for months on end. And all without a whole lot of money or reliance on anyone but themselves! The best thing of all is the delightful, often humorous chronicle of what readers need to know to attain the same happy life for their own families."
