- Synopsis
- The author John Graves bought a worn-out patch of land in the hills south of Fort Worth which became a life-long attachment and this book is a humorously thoughtful description of how this new landowner becomes equally owned by the land he has settled on. In this book Graves takes us on a tour of his farm, which he calls Hard Scrabble, describing in turn the fields and streams, the plant and animal life, the weather, etc.
