It is believed that the Circassians—the English translation of the Turkish term Cherkess—emerged as a discrete society or entity around the 10th century CE, although there are references to them before this. In fact, the Circassians are believed to be the oldest indigenous people of the North Caucasus and self-identified as Adyghe. Historians believe the first settlers appeared some 300,000 years ago. Nevertheless, the history and culture of Circassia and the Circassians is largely unknown in the English-speaking and wider world outside Central Asia and the Caucasus.

The once denuded Northeastern United States is now a region of trees. Nature Next Door argues that the growth of cities, the construction of parks, the transformation of farming, the boom in tourism, and changes in the timber industry have together brought about a return of Northeastern forests. Although historians and historical actors alike have seen urban and rural areas as distinct, they are in fact intertwined, and the dichotomies of farm and forest, agriculture and industry, and nature and culture break down when the focus is on the history of Northeastern woods.

The Northeast can be beautiful; starting a homestead in the Northeast can come with its own challenges, especially if you are looking to live off the grid. Northeast farmers face drastic temperature changes that they must account for when they are developing a garden, and a wide range of pests and insects will be attracted to their gardens. The freezing temperatures that parts of the Northeast experience for large portions of the year also add to the challenges of starting a farm. Nevertheless, starting a homestead in the Northeast is an incredibly fulfilling process.
