Galusha A. Grow: Father of the Homestead Law is a biographical book written by James T. DuBois. The book is about the life and work of Galusha A. Grow, an American politician who was instrumental in the passing of the Homestead Act of 1862. The Homestead Act was a law that allowed settlers to claim up to 160 acres of land in the western United States, which helped to encourage westward expansion and settlement. The book explores Grow's early life, his education, and his political career. It also delves into his role in the Republican Party and his work as a congressman. The book provides insights into Grow's personal life, including his family and his relationships with other politicians of the time. The author uses primary sources, including letters and speeches, to provide an in-depth look at Grow's life and achievements. The book also includes photographs and illustrations that help to bring the story to life. Overall, Galusha A. Grow: Father of the Homestead Law is a well-researched and informative book that sheds light on an important figure in American history. It will appeal to anyone interested in politics, history, or the westward expansion of the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
