Book Description
Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Culture and Treatment of the Grape Vine: Embracing Its History, With Directions for Its Treatment, in the United States of America, in the Open Air, and Under Glass Structures, With and Without Artificial Heat The first edition of this treatise was prepared at the suggestion of some friends and other gentlemen; it was intended for use more particularly in Massachusetts and the neighboring States. It has had a more extensive circulation, and, from questions proposed to me from distant States in this Union, as also by direct request, I have been induced to prepare a second, enlarged by notes of my own, explanatory of the first, and by copious extracts from such sources as would present most, if not all, of the various conflicting views respecting the cultivation of the grape. In giving the opinions of others, it has been my endeavor to embrace as great a period of time as possible, that the differences in those now held, if any, might be seen; to attain this object, when, by so doing, I could retain the ideas of those quoted, such parts have been extracted as contained selections from previous authors. In the remarks on these opinions and systems, their bearing upon the culture, in this country, has been mainly considered, and they have been made with the object of conveying information, and not with the idea of criticising them. Circumstances of climate, or location, may render a practice successful in one country, that may be highly improper in one differently situated. In the first edition, it was the plan to give a concise account of my own practice, as a system to be followed by others, without giving the reasons therefor.

Book Description
This volume collects the most important writings on viticulture by Nicholas Herbemont (1771-1839), who is widely considered the finest practicing winemaker of the early United States. Included are his two major treatises on viticulture, thirty-one other published pieces on vine growing and wine making, and essays that outline his agrarian philosophy. Over the course of his career, Herbemont cultivated more than three hundred varieties of grapes in a garden the size of a city block in Columbia, South Carolina, and in a vineyard at his plantation, Palmyra, just outside the city. Born in France, Herbemont carefully tested the most widely held methods of growing, pruning, processing, and fermentation in use in Europe to see which proved effective in the southern environment. His treatise "Wine Making," first published in the American Farmer in 1833, became for a generation the most widely read and reliable American guide to the art of producing potable vintage. David S. Shields, in his introductory essay, positions Herbemont not only as important to the history of viticulture in America but also as a notable proponent of agricultural reform in the South. Herbemont advocated such practices as crop rotation and soil replenishment and was an outspoken critic of slave-based cotton culture.
