Title: The heritage
Description: "This lively, outspoken, and affectionate memoir preserves all things Louis Bromfield fought for - or against - in a life marked by surging vitality and gusto. He came from an Ohio family whose roots were in the land but who also cultivated a curiosity about the world. As a successful and outgoing writer, Bromfield became caught up in a cosmopolitan life of New York City theaters, concerts, parties, and novels, and, for several years, a place in France.

Convinced of the need for a better social order, however, he returned to Ohio and established the farm, drawing many of his followers with him and recruiting countless others through tireless and enthusiastic promotion of his ideas."--BOOK JACKET. "Ellen Bromfield Geld's memoir describes a father and friend, a tyrant and "Boss," who was open and responsive to the people and places around him, yet also complex and solitary as a writer must be to practice his craft."--BOOK JACKET.
