An American Radical, An American Homesteader, An American Original by John A. Saltmarsh

Scott Nearing (1883-1983) has inspired an entire generation of disciples who are the current movers and shakers of the contemporary homesteading movement. John A. Saltmarsh's exhaustively researched biography captures both the complexity of Nearing's ideas, but also the simplicity with which they are grounded in practical experience. He traces Nearing's life from his fiery days as a social radical to the more peaceful days spent with his wife, Helen, on their model homestead at Forest Farm on the coast of Maine (now preserved as The Good Life Center by the Trust for Public Land). A must-read for anyone who wants to understand where the concept of sustainable living was spawned
