Showing how southerners cultivated over 2,000 apple varieties from Virginia to Mississippi, Flynt shares surprising stories of a fruit that was central to the region for over 200 years. Colorful characters abound in this history, including aristocratic Belgian immigrants, South Carolina plantation owners, and multiple presidents, each group changing the course of southern orchards. She shows how southern apples, ranging from northern varieties that found fame on southern soil to hyper-local apples grown by a single family, have a history beyond the region, from Queen Victoria's court to the Oregon Trail. Flynt also tells us the darker side of the story, detailing how apples were entwined with slavery and the theft of Indigenous land. She relates the ways southerners lost their rich apple culture in less than the lifetime of a tree and offers a tentatively hopeful future. Alongside unexpected apple history, Flynt traces the arc of her own journey as a pioneering farmer in the southern Appalachians who planted cider apples never grown in the region and founded the first modern cidery in the South. Flynt threads her own story with archival research and interviews with orchardists, farmers, cidermakers, and more. The result is not only the definitive story of apples in the South but also a new way to challenge our notions of history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Apple industry $z Southern States $x History. 650 0 $a Apple industry $x Social aspects $z Southern States. 650 0 $a Apples $z Southern States $x History. 650 0 $a Apples $x Social aspects $z Southern States. 650 0 $a Apples $x Varieties $z Southern States. 650 0 $a Crop diversification $z Southern States. 651 0 $a Southern States $x History. $x History. 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / State & Local / South (AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA, WV) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Agriculture & Food (see also POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Agriculture & Food Policy) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Apple industry $2 fast 650 7 $a Apples $2 fast 650 7 $a Apples $x Varieties $2 fast 650 7 $a Crop diversification $2 fast 650 7 $a Manners and customs $2 fast 651 7 $a Southern States $2 fast 654 $a HISTORY / United States / State & Local / South (AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA, WV) $2 bisacsh 654 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Agriculture & Food (see also POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Agriculture & Food Policy) $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a History $2 fast 700 1 $a Brock, Sean, $e writer of foreword. 700 1 $a Mosier, Angie, $e photographer. 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240529010233.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD648C941D8011EFA6667B3325ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
