Beschreibung
Limited to 450 copies. "Grapevines and wineries do not tell the whole story of the Napa Valley, and this history covers the settlement of the region up to 1900, beginning with a description of its dramatic geography and topography. Resident Wappo and Patwin Indians were joined by mountain men from the Rockies and desert Southwest - George Yount, Jim Clyman, Old (Caleb) Greenwood, and others - who found the valley in the lee of Mount St. Helena to be a grizzly bear hunter's paradise. Yount became a cattle rancher there in 1836. It was also Yount who pioneered the next phase of development, when wheat was king in California. Grain growers were eventually succeeded by horticulturists and, of course, viticulturists, starting with Charles Krug." Prospectus laid in. Quarto: 382 p. with 43 historical black-and-white photographs and a folding map (laid in at rear). Full linen cloth binding, with an illustration inset on the front panel and a printed paper spine label. A fine copy. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 76056
