Excerpt from Thomas JeffersonThe undulating soil of this Albemarle region, whose chief richness lies in the valleys and river bottoms, has yielded periodical crops, - not in tobacco es pecially, or what we commonly class as Southern staples, but in wheat, corn, and oats, - American farm products such as were always associated in sense with free labour. The Blue Ridge farmer was never a paragon of thrift, and good lands have run frequently to waste for want of top-dressing and an opportunity to recuperate. Manufactures, of course, could not ¿ourish hereabouts so long as skilled artisans and mechanics were repelled by the deadly nightshade of slavery, and though times perhaps are changing for the better, we still find the Albemarle capitalist who sets up for a manufacturer occupied chie¿y in mend ing broken ploughs and wagons, advertising repairs as his specialty.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
