| Summary | "The Cultivation of the Native Grape, and Manufacture of American Wines" by George Husmann is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The book provides a practical guide to grape cultivation and wine production, focusing on the unique conditions suited for American viticulture. Husmann, drawing from his experience, offers insight into various grape varieties, their propagation, and the specific steps necessary for successful wine production. At the start of the work, Husmann expresses his hesitations about contributing to an already well-covered subject, emphasizing his intent to assist beginners in grape cultivation. He discusses the historical context of grape growing in America, specifically noting its early beginnings and the challenges faced by past endeavors. The introduction sets forth his goals of making grape growing accessible to all, particularly focusing on practical, cost-effective methods, and detailing the potential for creating high-quality American wines from native grapes, which he believes can compete with imported varieties. The opening portion establishes a foundation for the detailed techniques and insights to come in the subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
