Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Martha's Vineyard Professor Shaler wrote in 1874: Of those who travel, by far the larger part are driven about the world by a hunger for the curious. The evil demon that pursues them hides th beauty of things near at hand with a veil of the commonplace, and sets on the horizon beacons that seem to point to fresher fields beyond. Martha's Vineyard gives a rich soil, beautiful drives, brooks and woods, features denied to its bleaker sister to the east. The Vineyard has never had its story told in a form that could be readily reached. For more than one hundred years travelers and scientists have devoted a chapter or more to the island and newspapers have paragraphed it, but that is prae tically all. This book is an attempt to attach its stories - historical, personal and legendary - to the particular spots to which they belong and to string them on a thread of description that will carry one the length of the island, in the hope that that hunger for the curious may be temporarily sated.

Download or read book A Vineyard in Napa written by Doug Shafer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the age of 47, when he a successful publishing executive and living with his wife and four children in an affluent Chicago suburb, John Shafer made the surprise announcement that he had purchased a vineyard in the Napa Valley. In 1973, he moved his family to California and, with no knowledge of winemaking, began the journey that would lead him, thirty years later, to own and operate what distinguished wine critic Robert M. Parker, Jr. called “one of the world’s greatest wineries.” This book, narrated by Shafer’s son Doug, is a personal account of how his father turned his midlife dream into a remarkable success story. Set against the backdrop of Napa Valley’s transformation from a rural backwater in the 1970s through its emergence today as one of the top wine regions in the world, the book begins with the winery’s shaky start and takes the reader through the father and son’s ongoing battles against killer bugs, cellar disasters, local politics, changing consumer tastes, and the volatility of nature itself. Doug Shafer tells the story of his own education, as well as Shafer Vineyards’ innovative efforts to be environmentally sustainable, its role in spearheading the designation of a Stags Leap American Viticultural Area, and how the wine industry has changed in the contemporary era of custom-crushing and hobbyist winery investors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Vineyard at Lakeview When I first took up rural pursuits as my vocation, I Was not altogether unacquainted with the theories and principles which pertain to them. From my boyhood, I have always had a great fondness for gardening, and all labor incident to country life. When learning my trade in the Village printing office, I took great delight in read ing all the agricultural and horticultural exchanges. My companion apprentice, Bob, as we called him then, always thought it stupid to read papers of that kind, preferring, for himself, to follow up with great care all political con troversies, and taking great delight at the complete sum mersaults which expert politicians (in those days) some times found it convenient to make. Many of these horticultural publications I took possession of, by permis sion of the editor, and carefully preserved. I now consider them one of the important features of my little library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Grapes of Wrath: A Tale of North and South Cornelia Manners felt both the sweetness and hard ness of nature as she lingered in her dooryard, waiting for the morning mail. She was praying, although her blue eyes, shining and tense, were staring down the street. Her hopes, her fears, her love, were embodied in a petition individual, particular, supreme; for her husband was in the army of the Potomac, and her son at Bermuda Hundred with General Butler. The mail was due at eight, and it was already nine o'clock. Mrs. Manners stepped out on the sidewalk, shading her eyes with her long, delicate hand. The trees met overhead as far as a distant bend in the street; and the half-grown, translucent leaves cast a greenish-golden, shadowy brilliance between the arch above and the red dish loam underneath. A boy whom she had sent for the mail came running with a telegram. She watched him approach with a sigh of apprehension, and, when he handed her the yellow envelope, turned aside with the ever-present fear of a terrible catastrophe. A hot, choking sensation made her try to ease the narrow col lar pressing against her throat. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Manual of American Grape Growing Classic Reprint written by U. P. Hedrick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of American Grape-Growing Seventy-nine books on grapes enrich the pomology of North America, not counting numerous state and national publications. Pomological writers in America have been partial to the grape, for other fruits do not fare nearly so well. Twenty - two books are devoted to the strawberry, fourteen to the apple, to the peach nine, cranberry eight, plum five, pear nine, quince two, logan'berry one, while the cherry, raspberry, and blackberry are not once separated from other fruits in special books. Thus, though a comparative newcomer among the fruits of the country, the grape has been singled out for a treatise more times than all other fruits of temperate climates combined seventy-nine books on the grape, seventy on all other fruits. This statement of partiality does not lead to an apology for a new book on the grape. There is urgent need for a new book. But three of the seventy-nine treatises on this fruit are con temporary, and all but one, a handbook on training, are records from vanished minds. Methods change so rapidly and varieties multiply so fast, that to keep pace there must be new books on fruits every few years. Besides, the types of grapes are so diverse, and different soils, climates, and treatments produce such widely dissimilar results, that many books are required to do justice to this fruit the vineyard should be seen through many eyes.
