A historical handbook on explosives in land management

Originally published in 1917, this handbook documents how E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company presented explosives as tools for agricultural and land-improvement work. Its subjects include clearing land, planting and cultivating trees, drainage, ditching, and subsoiling, with practical methods and safety precautions described in the context of early 20th-century technology. As a reproduction of a historical work, it offers a record of period approaches to land management, not confirmation that its instructions meet present-day safety standards.
