Download or read book A History of Wine in America Volume 1 written by Thomas Pinney and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2007-09-17 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vikings called North America "Vinland," the land of wine. Giovanni de Verrazzano, the Italian explorer who first described the grapes of the New World, was sure that "they would yield excellent wines." And when the English settlers found grapes growing so thickly that they covered the ground down to the very seashore, they concluded that "in all the world the like abundance is not to be found." Thus, from the very beginning the promise of America was, in part, the alluring promise of wine. How that promise was repeatedly baffled, how its realization was gradually begun, and how at last it has been triumphantly fulfilled is the story told in this book. It is a story that touches on nearly every section of the United States and includes the whole range of American society from the founders to the latest immigrants. Germans in Pennsylvania, Swiss in Georgia, Minorcans in Florida, Italians in Arkansas, French in Kansas, Chinese in California—all contributed to the domestication of Bacchus in the New World. So too did innumerable individuals, institutions, and organizations. Prominent politicians, obscure farmers, eager amateurs, sober scientists: these and all the other kinds and conditions of American men and women figure in the story. The history of wine in America is, in many ways, the history of American origins and of American enterprise in microcosm. While much of that history has been lost to sight, especially after Prohibition, the recovery of the record has been the goal of many investigators over the years, and the results are here brought together for the first time. In print in its entirety for the first time, A History of Wine in America is the most comprehensive account of winemaking in the United States, from the Norse discovery of native grapes in 1001 A.D., through Prohibition, and up to the present expansion of winemaking in every state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover America’s secrets in this second of two volumes of the young readers’ edition of The Untold History of the United States, from Academy Award–winning director Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick, adapted by Eric Singer. There is history as we know it. And there is history we should have known. Complete with poignant photos and little-known but vitally important stories, this second of two volumes traces how people around the world responded to the United States’s rise as a superpower from the end of World War II through an increasingly tense Cold War and, eventually, to the brink of nuclear annihilation during the Cuban Missile Crisis. This is not the kind of history taught in schools or normally presented on television or in popular movies. This riveting young readers volume challenges prevailing orthodoxies to reveal uncomfortable realities about the US role in heightening Cold War tensions. It also humanizes the experiences of diverse people, at home and abroad, who yearned for a more just, equal, and compassionate world. This volume will come as a breath of fresh air for students, teachers, and budding young historians hungry for different perspectives—which makes it a crucial counterpoint to today’s history textbooks. Adapted by high school and university educator Eric S. Singer from the bestselling book and companion to the documentary The Untold History of the United States by Academy Award–winning director Oliver Stone and renowned historian Peter Kuznick, this volume gives young readers a powerful and provocative look at the US role in the Cold War. It also provides a blueprint for those concerned with shaping a better and more equitable future for people across the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the United States of America, Vol. 2: With a Continuation, Including the Presidencies of Pierce and Buchanan Georgetown, in the district of Columbia, gave shelter to the fugitive editor of The Federal Republican; and there he continued to print, and thence to issue his newspaper; until, partly for the purpose of effecting (if possible) its re-establishment in Baltimore, but principally that he might more em phatically protest against that violent infringement of his liberty - both personal and political - he obtained the use of a house as a place of publication there; but still printing the journal at Georgetown. Having ascertained that the constituted guardians of order, and protectors of the liberties of the citizens, either because they were overawed by the mob, or because they shared their madness, would not defend him, Hanson con verted his house into a fortress, and prepared for a siege in the same manner as we have seen the holders of many a blockhouse in the forest wilderness of the remote West preparing, when the scouts had discovered that there were Indians near. He was assisted by Generals Henry Lee and Lingan, the former not an undistinguished person in the country, for he had been governor of Virginia; and of unimpeachable patriotism, for he had fought bravely against the British in the revolutionary war. Lingan had fought in the same war; and Lee has for us the additional recommendation of having been a close friend of Washington.\ They, with others, joined Hanson, resolved to defend his house to the last, if it should be assaulted; and we can only regret that, since such was their temper, and such the circumstances of peril they were placed in, the house was not surrounded by a sufficient stockade, as well as occupied by gallant men. It was the 27th of July, and in the evening the mob appeared before the office of Hanson's paper, and, as it seems, without parley, commenced an attack upon it with stones. Disregarding a warning from the garrison to depart, the besiegers continued, until they had forced open the door, when they were fired upon, and one of their number fell dead, many others being badly wounded, of whom one died afterwards. Beaten back thus, the mob sent for a cannon and meanwhile, the city authorities, with undoubted civic bravery and despatch, besides those less venerable qualities before alluded to, had sent out a troop of the mounted militia, to make a show, at least, of acting in the name of the law. The commander of this rather questionable force did, by his persuasive oratory, prevail upon the rioters not to use their gun; but instead of dispersing them, they exhorted the beleaguered editor and his little band to surrender themselves, and be conducted to the prison, as a place of refuge and safety. They, receiving the assurance of the chief magistrate of the city that they should be protected, and being, moreover, both wearied and wounded by the assault, unwisely yielded to the summons.

Numerous ships found employment in its harbors. The white laborer rose rapidly to the condition of a free propri etor the female emigrant was sure to improve her condi tion, and the charities of home gathered round her in the New World.

Download or read book A People s History of the United States written by Howard Zinn and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2003-02-04 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.
