Title: A kind of fate
Description: "A Kind of Fate: Agricultural Change in Virginia, 1861-1920 addresses how modern agriculture in Virginia developed as a result of widening social acceptance of government intervention in agricultural affairs; an infusion of capital from increasing commodity prices, land values, and credit; and biological research to combat diseases. In addition to descriptive quotes from the period, poignant photographs capture the essence of these farmers' daily trials and triumphs."--Jacket.
