By Bradley Gilman

Book Overview

""Back to the Soil or From Tenement House to Farm Colony: A Circular Solution of an Angular Problem"" is a book written by Bradley Gilman in 1901. The book discusses the issue of poverty and overcrowding in urban areas, and proposes a solution in the form of farm colonies. Gilman argues that by providing impoverished urban residents with the opportunity to live and work on farms, they can escape the cycle of poverty and improve their quality of life. The book provides a detailed analysis of the benefits of farm colonies, including the ability to provide fresh food, clean air, and a sense of community. Gilman also discusses the challenges of implementing such a solution, including the need for funding and support from government and private organizations. Overall, ""Back to the Soil or From Tenement House to Farm Colony"" is a pioneering work in the field of social reform, and continues to be relevant today as a model for addressing issues of poverty and urbanization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
