This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the United States of North America, Vol. 2: From the Discovery of the Western World to the Present Day It will be discovered, as we proceed, that outwardly, the administrations of Washington and Adams conducted the development we speak of, in a di rection exactly Opposite to that which has been followed by the expansions effected under the auspices of most of their successors. Inwardly, however, and in reality, there has been a wonderful harmony between these seemingly opposite paths of national progress. We shall have little difficulty in showing, that one effort has been the equipoise to the other, one growth the comple ment of the other; so that more has been effected than either party alone, or than both together, have aimed at; and whilst the stability of the nation has been insured, the influences and courses which could most endanger that stability have been made glaringly manifest to all; and such a pledge and assurance has been given of the guidance and blessing of the King of Nations, as may well remind all who aspire to control the affairs of the Commonwealth, of the principles which actuated those who most largely shared in its found ation, and by the operation of which alone, it, or any State, can attain to real and abiding greatness in the world. Such views as these may relieve of all dulness a narrative of 'the kind that lies before us; not factitiously, and by the introduction of materials foreign to the subject but by the display of the secret meaning and tendency of the events that make up the quiet round of commercial prosperity, of those trifling matters which appear only when massed in tables of statistics, and of the most exciting affairs of times of peace - contests for office, legislative discussions.

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.
