Book Overview

The Story of Extension is a historical account of the development of the extension service in the United States. Written by Francis Clement Kelley and first published in 1922, the book traces the origins of the extension movement back to the late 19th century and the efforts of educators and agriculturalists to bring the latest scientific knowledge to farmers and rural communities.
