At Home in Nature:

Modern Homesteading and Spiritual Practice in America

 

by Rebecca Kneale Gould

 

                                          

Gould will discuss homesteading in America from the late nineteenth century to the present, examining the lives and beliefs of those who have ascribed to the homesteading philosophy, placing their experiences within the broader context of the changing meanings of nature and religion in modern American culture.
