Search in google:
Founder of Wallaces' Farmer, adviser to Theodore Roosevelt, and consultant to Iowa State College, "Uncle Henry" Wallace - perhaps more than any writer since Jefferson - spoke of rural society in terms of its significant role in the success of the American democratic vision. This book fills a gap in the history of Midwestern agriculture and the influence of the farm press.
