Description: One of the joys of being in Kansas City is the tremendous history surrounding the crossing trails, that intersect the Missouri and the Mississippi Rivers. Wonderful Hermann, MO is a rich portion of that history and home to "The Johnny Appleseed" of America's grape vineyards. When you consider how easy it is to value a fine bottle of wine at $50 to $100, how do you possibly value the 1866 1st (and classic) edition of The Cultivation of the Native Grape and Manufacture of American Wines, written by the legendary George Husmann? This book, along with his additional classic Grape Culture & Wine Making in California published in 1888, are two of the greatest bibles of Grape Cultivation and Wine Making in American history. A tremendous scientist and humanitarian, his love of his work was best displayed in the books dedication: To The Grape Growers of "OUR COUNTRY, ONE AND INDIVISIBLE" This volume is dedicated by their Friend and Fellow-Laborer, THE AUTHOR.From the introduction of the Norton and Concord varietals to Missouri, to the saving of the French Wine Industry through the supply of pest-resistant American vines, to his award winning acclaim and input toward the growth of the Napa Valley wine Industry, he truly earned the title "Father of the Missouri Grape Industry".I am so glad this volume has stayed close to home and been well cared for. The spine title simply states GRAPES AND WINE with the full proper name on the interior title page. Book measurements are: 5 1/4" x 7 1/2" x 3/4". 192 numbered pages plus a small back catalogue of Architectural and Agricultural books sold by Woodward Publishers. The book was entered into Congress in 1866 by Woodward of Geo. E. & F. W. Woodward publishers on 37 Park Row, N Y. The printing was through Stephen Hallet Printer of 60 Fulton St. New York, N YAs always through my Living Estate Sale I offer meticulous packing with Free Shipping, A Charity Donation, and utilize the "Best Offer" format to accommodate all fair and knowledgeable Buyer Offers.
