CHAPTER XIV

THE RELATION BETWEEN THE PEOPLE AND THE LAND

“Nature was much bigger and stronger than man.  She would suffer no
Sudden highways to be thrown across her spaces; she abated not an
Inch of her mountains, compromised not A foot of her forests. ... 
For the creation of the nation the Conquest of her proper
territory from nature was first necessary ...  A Bold race has
derived Inspiration from the size, the difficulty, the danger of
the task.”

If you wanted to buy a farm, what facts would you investigate in regard to land and location?

What farm in your neighborhood comes nearest to meeting your requirements in these matters?  Explain fully why.

Make a sketch map of a farm in your neighborhood, preferably one upon which you have lived, showing as nearly as you can the boundaries, the position of highlands and lowlands, marshes, timber, streams, etc.  Also the position of house, barns, bridges, roads, and other important features.
