Author Information

Bolton Hall was an American lawyer, writer, and social reformer whose ideas contributed significantly to early twentieth-century movements for economic justice and self-sufficiency. Born on August 5, 1854, in Ireland, to parents whose names are not widely documented, Hall immigrated to the United States and became known for his advocacy of Georgism, a philosophy promoting land value taxation as a means of reducing poverty. His writing reflected his belief that equitable access to land could empower individuals and strengthen communities. Throughout his career, he combined his legal background with activism, working to address urban poverty and encourage people to reconnect with nature through self-sustaining practices. He was instrumental in launching the back-to-the-land movement, which inspired urban dwellers to cultivate small farms and reclaim economic independence. Among his notable works is A Little Land and a Living, which elaborates on his vision of rural renewal and practical independence. Bolton Hall died on December 10, 1938, in Thomasville, Georgia, leaving a legacy of progressive thought and social reform.
