Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed exploration of the evolution of native fruit in North America. It begins by examining the abundance of wild grapes found by early explorers and settlers, setting this within the wider context of failed attempts to establish French and English wine production in the region. The author then focuses on a particular experiment in Kentucky and Indiana led by the Dufour family, who sought to establish a thriving grape colony. Despite initial promise, the author reveals how this venture ultimately failed due to a mysterious vine sickness that decimated the plants. This book not only provides a rich historical account of viticulture in North America but also offers insights into the factors that have shaped the present-day fruit industry. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history, cultivation, and evolution of native fruits.
