Excerpt from The European and Japanese Chestnuts in the Eastern United States
History of the European Chestnut. The European chestnut, which is popularly called the Spanish Chestnut, was introduced into the United States, not for economic purposes, but by individuals who wished to determine its adaptability to their private estates. Nearly all of the varieties now in propagation are descendants from the French Marrons, and the appellation Spanish is an anomaly. New varieties are not being extensively introduced from Europe at present, but many persons have planted the nuts of the best naturalized kinds, like the Paragon, hoping to discover among the variable progeny, seedlings, that are superior to their parents.
The earliest history of the European chestnut, in America, is hidden in obscure book notices, or in the note books of those who were interested in early American agriculture.
