Download or read book Shucks Shocks and Hominy Blocks written by Nicholas P. Hardeman and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1999-03-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History is often measured by records of great leaders and events. Nicholas P. Hardeman convinces us that American history can be measured but the shaping force of a quiet monarch—corn. In fact, corn was more than king, it was a way of life, and Hardeman enthusiastically demonstrates that in order to understand the settling and development of America we must know about corn and its influence. Perhaps no volume has come closer to the grass roots of pre-twentieth century America. The history of American worship of property, love of the land, and the work ethic has its source in this country’s discovery of the values of corn. When Hardeman speaks of values, he emphasizes the human as equal to the economic values. He describes corn growing in early America from clearing the land through planting, cultivating, and harvesting, as it was done on the single-family farm, once the mainstay of American agriculture. He talks about the problems and the hard work of corn growing that led to an explosion of agricultural innovation, mostly American in origin, in the nineteenth century. The author gives his attention as well to corn’s ancestry and the role of the Indians in developing all six major varieties of corn. He discusses in detail the many uses of corn as food and drink and its scores of nonfood applications. Overall, Hardeman casts a glow on the “picturesque, symmetrical, checkered cornfields” of a time past. Corn was more than a commodity to the pioneer. It was a social phenomenon during every phase of its culture and especially in the husking bee, the most popular event of the entire pioneer era. Corn was integral to nearly all American culture—our language, literature, art, and mythology. “Frontiers have been erased . . . but in the subconscious of our cultural undergirding, they are with us yet—those phantom shocks in measured rows, the clamorous birds spiraling on set wings to waiting grain fields below, the rhythmic thudding of hominy blocks, the creaking of wheels and crackling of corncob fires.”

Download or read book The Story of Corn and the Westward Migration Classic Reprint written by Eugene Clyde Brooks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Corn and the Westward Migration The struggle of the human race for food has been and still is one of the great factors in the growth of civilization. Histories tell us of the progress of social institutions. Geographies analyze the world's food supply and describe in detail the areas that are most productive. Books on agriculture give us a study of the food plants and the best methods of securing the greatest returns from the land. But none of these texts makes it sufficiently clear to the youth of the country that the improvement in food plants and the productivity of the land are among the greatest factors in the building of a civilization. The purpose of The Story of Corn is to combine certain fundamental principles of geography and agriculture and treat them historically in order that the youth may appreciate the tremendous importance of agriculture in the history of the race. A complete history of agriculture would make a volume too large and too technical for grammar-grade or high-school pupils. Therefore the cereals, with special emphasis on Indian corn, have been chosen as the theme for this book.
