Grace Briggs is now the leader of the largest antigovernment secessionist group in the United States, having outmaneuvered both Federal law enforcement and an attempted takeover by white power stormtroopers. But troubles at home remain, and when a chance encounter with innocent civilians blows up into an ugly hostage situation, the privacy and integrity of Briggs Land is compromised. Meanwhile, Jim Briggs, humiliated at losing control of the family, seeks revenge. With its gritty and realistic depiction of a fractured family in a polarized society, Brian Wood and Mack Chater's Briggs Land is an essential mirror of our times, "a uniquely American crime comic you need to be reading."

Excerpt from The Land, Today and Tomorrow, Vol. 2: January, 1935 And finally, why should there not be cooperation? Is there any physical obstacle in the way that can not be overcome? Or is there any organization objection that can not be smoothed out? I think not. The needs are too acute and the demands too urgent to invite any de lay, or even possible defeat, through a lack of cooperative helpful ness on the part of the agencies concerned. I want to go squarely and definitely on record for the Soil Ero sion Service, that we believe in the fundamental principle of cooper ation; that we will continue to offer and accept cooperative service; that we have no intention of usurping any field of operative effort; that we need all the help we can get in carrying through the gigantic job entrusted to us; that our minds are not closed to constructive suggestions; and that we are determined to do those things that are necessary to save the nation's remaining areas of good farm land. It is felt that the Soil Erosion Service has something very per tinchi to contribute to the problem of soil conservation, flood con trol, reduction of the problem of silting, and better land use; and, if others have anything of this same conception, it is our desire to dedicate our best efforts to the interests of the nation. Our work is on the land; it is under way and Open to the visual inspection of everyone. We invite such inspection at all times; and we invite the criticisms, suggestions and cooperation of every thinking, patriotic Citizen.

Excerpt from The Land, Vol. 2: Today and Tomorrow; February 1935 The California gully, or barranca, as it is more commonly known, presents problems of control that demand not only special methods of treatment, but a complete harmony of attack by the engineer and the ag ronomist. To appreciate properly the handicaps imposed upon the plants man it should be remembered that Southern California.would be little more than a desert were it n0t for irrigation. It is a country where rain seldom falls in the eight months from March to December, during which time all but the major watercourses are dry and barren wastes. Due to the extremely high mountains, with their sparsely vegetated and steep pitching watersheds, the winter storms sweep down with terrific force, taxing to the very limit all attempts to retard or control the erosive effects of the water.

A Land Remembered has become Florida's favorite novel. Now this Student Edition in two volumes makes this rich, rugged story of the American pioneer spirit more accessible to young readers. Patrick Smith tells of three generations of the MacIveys, a Florida family battling the hardships of the frontier. The story opens in 1858, when Tobias and Emma MacIvey arrive in the Florida wilderness with their son, Zech, to start a new life, and ends in 1968 with Solomon MacIvey, who realizes that his wealth has not been worth the cost to the land. Between is a sweeping story rich in Florida history with a cast of memorable characters who battle wild animals, rustlers, Confederate deserters, mosquitoes, starvation, hurricanes, and freezes to carve a kingdom out of the Florida swamp. In this volume, meet young Zech MacIvey, who learns to ride like the wind through the Florida scrub on Ishmael, his marshtackie horse, his dogs, Nip and Tuck, at this side. His parents, Tobias and Emma, scratch a living from the land, gathering wild cows from the swamp and herding them across the state to market. Zech learns the ways of the land from the Seminoles, with whom his life becomes entwined as he grows into manhood. Next in series > > See all of the books in this series
