Abstract

Excerpts from the Introduction: Not even the occasion of the bicentenary of George Washington’s birth is necessary as a justification for a list of the printed materials on Washington as a farmer. The interest in the subject is continuous. Washington loved farming. Having settled at Mount Vernon in 1759, each time he was called to his country's service he left his farming activities with greater reluctance. During the long and trying years of the American Revolution and also later during his presidency he constantly looked forward to the time when he could lay down his public duties and retire to Mount Vernon and practice farming again. The references on George Washington and Agriculture which follow are brought up to July 1, 1931. They are grouped under the following headings: Washington’s Agricultural Writings; Washington’s Farming Activities; Mount Vernon - Washington's Home; Washington and Western Land; and Washington's Interest in Internal Improvements.
