"Three Acres and Liberty" by Bolton Hall is a practical guidebook focused on urban farming and self-sufficiency, likely written in the early 20th century. The book emphasizes the importance of utilizing small plots of land to grow food, highlighting the benefits of intensive cultivation without the necessity of large-scale farming. It encourages city dwellers to reclaim their dependence on urban markets by supporting themselves with a manageable agricultural lifestyle. At the start of the book, Hall discusses how anyone can achieve a better quality of life through direct engagement with the land. He shares anecdotes and statistics to illustrate the potential of small-scale farming, such as the productivity of various crops from limited acreage. Furthermore, he addresses the socio-economic challenges faced by those wishing to escape urban poverty, advocating for community gardening efforts and the reclamation of vacant city lots. The opening chapters serve as a motivational and informative primer, encouraging readers to consider how they can cultivate their own land to foster independence and improve their living conditions.
