_The author, George A. Martin, knows his subject, not only fence building but the farm and its requirements. He knows the stock: the unconfinable pig, the dexterous cow. He knows his materials, especially wood. I count twenty-one species of tree in the text, each especially suited for a particular application. He knows the value of work well done, done to last, and he aims to give value himself, in authorship as in the building of simple necessary structures._ from the Foreword by Castle FreemanMartin, George A. is the author of 'Fences, Gates And Bridges A Practical Manual' with ISBN 9780911469080 and ISBN 0911469087.
