This autobiography of the first Dean of the College of
Agriculture at Cornell University offers an unconventional account
of farm life in New York and the Middle West during the nineteenth
century, and of the difficulties attendant upon building up a vital
and progressive agricultural college.
Born in Seneca County, New York, in 1833, Isaac Phillips Roberts
emigrated west first to Indiana, where he worked as a carpenter
until he was able to buy a farm, and taught school during the
winters; then, in 1862, to Mount Pleasant, Iowa, in a pioneer wagon
with his wife, Margaret, and daughter. In 1869, he became the
Superindent of the Farm and Secretary of the Board of Trustees of
the Iowa Agricultural College at Ames, where he soon became
Professor of Agriculture. In 1873, he returned to New York to take
a similar position at Cornell University; shortly thereafer, he was
made Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture and Director of the
Experiment Station.
During his thirty years of service in Ithaca, he wrote
voluminously on agricultural subjects, and after his retirement,
penned Autobiography of a Farm Boy, initially published in 1916,
reissued by Cornell University Press in 1946, and now made
available in paperback. He died in Palo Alto, California, in
1928."
This book is a facsimile reprint and may contain imperfections such
as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.
