http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/568225064

The Harry V. Harlan Manuscript is titled "Manuscript of one man's life with barley: the memories and observation of Harry V. Harlan." The manuscript written by Harlan in 1957, is in loose-leaf form with original handwriting. Harlan's purpose in writing the book was to contribure a general picture of the evolution of barley research at a time (early 1910-1944) during which he was of the few scholars entirely devoted to its study. Topics include plant exploration, barley background, barley breeding, adventures and discoveries at American experiment stations, uses of barley and advice.
