Washington at the Plow by Bruce A Ragsdale is another new publication. This one makes the claim to focus entirely upon the farming life of our first president. Washington has long been considered an innovator with his farming techniques. Over the years, Washington’s contribution to farming has been overshadowed by one of his successors, Thomas Jefferson. Not anymore. Bruce Ragsdale, through meticulous research, has uncovered the true story that has been forgotten, even the ugly parts.
