Sally McMurry is professor emerita of history at Pennsylvania State University and former president of the Agricultural History Society. She is the author of a number of books on landscape and architectural history, including most recently From Sugar Camps to Star Barns: Rural Life and Landscape in a Western Pennsylvania Community.
Presents the first history of Pennsylvania agriculture in more sixty years. Sally McMurry goes beyond a strictly economic approach and examines the factors of gender, labour, and environmental history to enlighten the role of women, children, tenants, migrants, and multi-varied cultures on the landscapes and distinctive regions of the commonwealth.
