RLP 295: Review of The American Farmer in the Eighteenth Century

The Research Like a Pro Genealogy Podcast

In this episode, Diana and Nicole delve into the agricultural roots of American ancestry, spotlighting Richard L. Bushman's book, "The American Farmer in the Eighteenth Century: A Social and Cultural History." They discuss the profound role of farming in shaping American society and the individual stories of ancestors who contributed to this agricultural legacy, including Diana's own forebears, the Isenhours. The hosts explore farming's evolution, the impact of land inheritance, and the migration westward for land opportunities. They also touch on the displacement of native populations, the variances in farming practices across different regions, and the influence of slavery on agriculture. Through Bushman's work and their ancestral tales, Diana and Nicole offer listeners an understanding of the farmer's life and legacy in America's social and cultural history.
