See You in a Hundred Years: Four Seasons in Forgotten America - Travel Memoir & Nature Exploration Book for Adventure Seekers and History Lovers - Perfect for Road Trips, Camping, and Discovering Hidden America

The author is well written. He did something that he called, I think, 'daring', but I think it was 'gutsy'.There are many interested in homesteading, a return to simpler life, with more control over what they eat, how they live. Some want to go 'off grid'. Some actually do so, successfully, but they have solar power.The only solar power the Wards had, was the kind that helped to grow the crops they seeded and the laundry to dry.Logan Ward did this as a job; he needed to earn a living writing and knew this idea of his might have merit.He and his wife & toddler chose a piece of land in rural Virginia and farmed it-- the way it was done 100 or so years ago.No tractors, no machinery, no automobile, no electricity, no electric or battery operated kitchen appliances.He records his and his wife's efforts (hard, hard work and a learning period in the beginning of the 12 months that their project was structured for)He records their success (backbreaking, boring sometimes, inane,) and the things they tried that didn't work, or at least, didn't work the way they thought it would.I strongly recommend this book. He and his wife were together 24/7 for a year, constantly, with their small son, and though it was hard work, I commend them for a task they set that was a success. They worked as a family, raised their son while they worked, and learned lots of things. They also learned to relate to their neighbors in a much different way than they had from their previous life in the 'modern' world.
