Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The engineering of plants has a long history on this continent. Fields, forests, orchards, and prairies are the result of repeated campaigns by amateurs, tradesmen, and scientists to introduce desirable plants, both American and foreign, while preventing growth of alien riff-raff. These horticulturists coaxed plants along in new environments and, through grafting and hybridizing, created new varieties. Over the last 250 years, their activities transformed the American landscape. "Horticulture" may bring to mind white-glove garden clubs and genteel lectures about growing better roses. But Philip J. Pauly wants us to think of horticulturalists as pioneer "biotechnologists," hacking their plants to create a landscape that reflects their ambitions and ideals. Those standards have shaped the look of suburban neighborhoods, city parks, and the "native" produce available in our supermarkets. In telling the histories of Concord grapes and Japanese cherry trees, the problem of the prairie and the war on the Medfly, Pauly hopes to provide a new understanding of not only how horticulture shaped the vegetation around us, but how it influenced our experiences of the native, the naturalized, and the alien--and how better to manage the landscapes around us.

Rock Piles and Field Clearing Practices on Historic Farms and Pastures in Northeastern United States

This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is hard to imagine that the most controversial subject in 21st century northeastern archaeology concerns rock piles found on historic farm lands. Yet, rock piles are at the heart of a contentious debate about their cultural affiliation, purpose, and age. Are they agricultural field clearing piles or Indigenous ceremonial features? The short answer is some are the byproduct agricultural activities while others were intentionally built as an expression of Indigenous spiritual beliefs. How do we distinguish between the two? In order to answer that question, it is necessary to have a solid historical and scientific understanding of field clearing practices in northeastern United States. Using farm manuals and 19th century agricultural journals, this book delves into the surprisingly complex topic of stone removal and disposal practices on farms in northeastern United States and beyond. It establishes some basic criteria for identifying clearing piles. Groups of Indigenous stone features including rock piles / cairns have survived on unfarmed lands and old pastures. They have largely been misidentified as field clearing piles and attributed to efforts to improve soil quality. However, new research shows that permanent pastures were rarely, if ever, cleared of stones. 19th century farmers had a solid understanding of why their pastures were being degraded and the solutions they needed to fix them. None of those solutions involved stone removal. This book draws together in a single volume over a decade of intensive research into an obscure but critically important topic in historic archaeology. Agricultural field clearing features are not considered archaeological significant. Ceremonial landscapes (traditional cultural properties) are considered culturally sensitive sites. Distinguishing between the two is an important task.
