Preface

This work began many years ago when the first author, during the course of his research, began to collect bibliographic records of items on grape growing, wine making, and alcoholic beverages. This collecting activity led to a number of bibliographic works, including, with L. B. Wheeler, A Check List of Books and Pamphlets on Grapes and Wine and Related Subjects, 1938-1948 (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1951) and, with Herman Phaff, Bibliography of Publications by the Faculty, Staff, and Students of the University of California, 1876—1980, on Grapes, Wines, and Related Subjects (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1986). This present work overlaps the latter to some degree and complements the former. Originally begun using such works as the National Union Catalog: Pre-1956 Imprints and many other basic bibliographic works (see the reference list for sources), this bibliography was expanded using the Melvyl Online Union Catalog of the University of California. The Melvyl Catalog includes the grape-growing and wine-making collection of the University of California at Davis, which is regarded as one of the finest collections on these subjects in the world.

Acknowledgments

Parts of this bibliography are the result of the senior author’s long-standing interest in this subject. Since Axel Borg’s appointment as the wine bibliographer at the Shields Library of the University of California at Davis in June 1988, he has actively participated in the work. It is through his efforts that many new areas of interest have been explored and added.

We thank many Shields librarians who have aided us from time to time. We are also grateful to the librarians at the New York Public Library and at the Mann Library at Cornell University; Vicki Hermann, Librarian at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Library; Henry Gilbert, Librarian at the National Agricultural Library in Beltsville, Maryland, and many others.

Introduction

GRAPE GROWING AND WINE MAKING

IN THE EARLY SETTLEMENT PERIOD

The American colonies were settled by immigrants from Europe. In most of the countries from which they came, grape growing and wine making were traditional parts of agriculture. A little over fifty years after English colonization began in Virginia, the first laws encouraging grape growing were passed. Enacted in 1639 by the Virginia Assembly, this first legislation required that all workers upon coms and tobacco shall this spring plant five vyne plants per poi, and the next year, before the first day of March 20 per poi. … (Hedrick 1950, p.102). About 1660 the Virginia Assembly offered a premium of 10,000 pounds of tobacco for each two tunne of wine made from grapes raised in the colony (ibid., p.103). In 1769 the Assembly made its third attempt to encourage grape growing and wine making by passing an act granting André Estave land, buildings, workers, and equipment for making wine (ibid., p.103). Thomas Jefferson approved of vines and wines and had hoped to have a vineyard but, as far as we know, never made wine (ibid., p.180-181).

Grape-growing and wine-making efforts occurred in other colonies besides Virginia. To encourage settlers, William Penn wrote from London in 1683 that a great Red grape called by ignorance the Fox Grape [and also a] white kind of Musketel [and] a little black Grape like the cluster-Grape of England were found in Pennsylvania. The same year, Penn’s associate William Doz, a Frenchman who shews knowledge in these things, planted a vineyard, the first of record in Pennsylvania, located at the Fairmount end of what became Vine Street in Philadelphia (Hedrick 1950, p.75). In 1710 a group of Germans from the Rhine River area settled in Spotsylvania, Pennsylvania, and began to grow grapes and make wine (ibid., p.103). To further encourage growing grapes and making wines in the colonies, Louis de Saint-Pierre wrote The Art of Planting and Cultivating the Vines … (London, 1772), a book specifically directed toward the settlers in South Carolina.

Viticultural efforts were not confined to the colonists. From his wide-ranging journey in 1743 through the area that is now the states of New York and Pennsylvania, John Bartram reported that Indian villages were growing grapes as well as apples, peaches, and plums (Hedrick 1950, p.58), the last three fruits probably obtained from the colonists. In addition to attempting to cultivate European grape varieties, settlers showed interest in native American varieties and in their suitability for making wine. As settlers moved across North America, they found native species of Vitis from New England to Georgia to California and immediately tried to develop a wine industry.

Upon arriving in the New World, settlers had begun to examine the local flora in hopes of discovering new species for cultivation. Problems arose with making wine from native American grape varieties, however. At the Plymouth Colony in 1621, Edward Winslow wrote, Here are grapes white and red, and very sweet and strong (Hedrick 1950, p.24), the strong perhaps referring to the very distinctive aroma of the native grapes (i.e., foxy). In 1782 J. Michel Guillaume St. John de Crèvecœur, in Letters from an American Farmer. … (London, 1782), noted that cyder is plentiful and wine is being made from cherries, which would seem to indicate that suitable grapes were not yet widely available. In Spanish North America native species of grapes were found in the areas that became New Mexico and California, although the Indians there made no wines. However, the Catholic missionaries in this region planted European varieties, most often the Mission grape, using the grape for both eating and making wine, particularly for sacramental purposes.

PUBLICATIONS BEFORE 1800

Despite the interest in grape growing and wine making, few separate works on grapes and wine were published in this country before 1800. Some general works, included in this bibliography, have sections on grape growing and wine making (Deane #1091-1093) as do cookbooks (Smith, Eliza #3072-3075 and Carter #811). In addition, Thomas Chapman’s 1762 book on cider (#834) is worth noting.

GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS

Of major importance to the literature of grape growing and wine making are the contributions of a number of state and federal governmental agencies. As befits California’s leading role in this area, the publications of the California Board of State Viticultura! Commissioners and the California Agricultural Experiment Station are of particular significance. The former was established in 1880 to address the problem of phylloxera and damage to California vineyards. The board was disbanded in 1894, but during its short life made available a number of important publications, including original contributions by the board and its members as well as translations of significant European works. The California Agricultural Experiment Station, established in 1873, has been a leader in grape-growing and wine-making research. This bibliography ends with 1901, but the contributions of the station continue today.

TEMPERANCE AND PROHIBITION LITERATURE

The abuse of alcoholic beverages disturbed some early settlers of this country, particularly the clergy and medical doctors. Increase Mather (#2250, 2251) and Cotton Mather (#2249) preached sermons against the abuse of spirits, as did Samuel Danforth (#1071) and many others. Benjamin Rush was a doctor (as well as a signer of the Declaration of Independence), and his 1784 treatise on the adverse effects of excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages went through many editions (#2934-2972).

An enormous temperance literature developed in the nineteenth century. Many examples are found in the James Black Temperance Collection in the New York Public Library, named for James Black (1823-1893), a prominent temperance movement leader from Pennsylvania. Two recent books, Jimerson, Blouin and Isetts (1977) and Taylor and Zonghi (1984) cover some of this subject. Prominent Americans not usually associated with the wine industry or the temperance movement are listed in this bibliography when appropriate, e.g., Henry Ward Beecher and Anthony Joseph Drexel Biddle.

PUBLICATIONS ON THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES INDUSTRY

There are surprisingly few publications on the early history of the alcoholic beverages industry. Downing (#1142-1186), Manning (#2195-2198), and Bailey (#134-141) contain some information. Later sources are Hedrick (1950), Carosso (1951), McGrew (1976), Pinney (1989), and Adams (1990), all of whom wrote about the historical aspects of the grape and wine industries. Pinney and Hedrick are particularly recommended.

This bibliography is intended for scholars, researchers, booksellers, and bibliophiles interested in viticulture, enology, alcoholic beverages, and the temperance movements. We have therefore attempted to bring a wide-ranging perspective to these subjects, going beyond the bibliographies that focus on narrow, more specific aspects of wine making, grape growing, or the temperance movements. The complex interrelationships—scientific, technological, philosophical, religious, historical, and sociological—among the subjects covered are revealed in the wide variety of works included.

Guide to the Bibliography

SCOPE

This bibliography primarily consists of books and pamphlets on grapes, wines, other alcoholic beverages, and the temperance and prohibition movements, published in this country. The majority of the entries concern wine, but other alcoholic beverages such as distilled spirits, beer, and cider are included, since these were and continue to be of major interest to consumers and scholars. Temperance and prohibition items are covered as well because they document the early interest in overconsumption of alcoholic beverages and the consequent social problems. All bibliographers face the problem of what to exclude. In most cases we have erred on the side of leniency and included works if we felt that the intended users of the bibliography could benefit.

From bibliographic records, catalogs, and bibliographies, it is frequently difficult to distinguish items that were published as part of a larger work (e.g., as an article in a journal or as a chapter in a book) from those that were separately published and therefore monographic in nature. Often a journal article was simultaneously printed or later reprinted as a separate publication, with or without different pagination. The Library of Congress and the Library of the U.S. Department of Agriculture have cataloged articles from early Patent Office reports as if they were separate publications, and in fact some probably were. The California Board of State Viticultura! Commissioners often reprinted parts of its reports as separate publications. To provide as much access as possible, we have included individual articles that appeared in the reports and transactions of the various state agricultural and horticultural societies even if they have not appeared as separate publications. These articles provide an interesting profile of the information available to the local grape grower and wine maker.

The monographic entries relating to wine and grapes are fairly comprehensive. The entries describing publications of the federal and state governments and of state experiment stations are likewise comprehensive. But more work is needed in several areas. Nursery catalogs in several major collections and many minor collections warrant further study. Of particular interest are the many catalogs of smaller nurseries that list varieties and therefore provide a firsthand account of varieties available by region and within specific time periods. California nursery catalogs are well covered by Brown (1989), but the same degree of coverage is lacking for other states. Entries for the many state horticultural and agricultural societies need additional effort because the collections available to us were incomplete. The remaining area that could be studied further is temperance, given the numerous arguments for and against alcohol or its temperate use.

We have also barely entered the labyrinth of state and city legislation concerning the sale of alcoholic beverages. However, our work on federal laws and regulations concerning production and taxation of alcoholic beverages is nearly complete, although we have not been able to identify all wine-specific publications. Much legal material was not separately published and for this reason is seldom listed in catalogs and bibliographies.

EXPLANATION OF ENTRIES

The entries are arranged in alphabetic order by first author or corporate author. Lacking an author, the entries are filed by the title, with authors and titles inter-filed alphabetically. Following the author’s name are the author’s birth and death years, if available. The next item is the title. Where the title ends in an ellipse, one of two things has occurred: either the omitted information is a statement of responsibility (e.g., by John Doe) or the title is very lengthy and only the most important part has been included. Following the title is the imprint: place of publication, publisher, and date of publication. Next is the physical description: number of pages, noteworthy information (e.g., presence of illustrations, frontispieces, etc.), and height of spine. In many cases this physical description is lacking in the cataloging records available to us and so is omitted here unless we were able to locate a copy and measure the spine or count the pages. Next is information of general interest such as, in the case of nursery catalogs, the number of grape varieties included.

The final part of the entry gives the item’s location. This location information can include either specific libraries or standard bibliographies or both. The absence of such information indicates that the item can be found in the National Union Catalog Pre-1956 Imprints. Gabler (1985) has been checked thoroughly and the Gabler numbers included in this bibliography. Where numbers from such standard bibliographies as Shoemaker (1964-1972) appeared in the cataloging, that information is supplied. A full bibliographic entry for each of these sources is included in the References section of this work.

Additional information also appears in some entries. In some cases extensive notes further illuminate the subject or the source of the item (e.g., California Board of State Viticultural Commissioners). Ghost denotes an item that probably does not exist. (Ghost bibliographic entries are an informal tradition of bibliography and were presumably created when bored bibliographers and catalogers made up fictitious entries to amuse themselves.) A crossreferenced item included in this bibliography is indicated by q.v. Gaps in the numbering of entries were intentionally left for future expansion or occurred when items were dropped. Where expansion was needed but the numbering would not accommodate it, a decimal has been used (e.g., 1000.1). Information in brackets was found outside of the title page or verso of the title page.

LANGUAGES REPRESENTED IN THE BIBLIOGRAPHY

While primarily containing English language material, this bibliography also includes a significant number of titles published in German, with German language titles on wine published before 1901 in the United States far outnumbering those in French, the other foreign language represented. Also of interest is that several English language titles of this period were translated into German, French, and Italian. The bibliography includes, as would be expected, a large number of titles originally issued in German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, and translated into English and published in the United States.

GABLER NUMBERS AND OTHER SOURCES

As part of the citations, reference is made to the other similar bibliography in this field, Wine into Words: A History and Bibliography of Wine Books in the English Language by James M. Gabler. A Gabler number indicates that the entry is also in Gabler’s bibliography. In addition, other such numbers that appeared in the cataloging and bibliographic records used to compile this bibliography have also been included (e.g., Shoemaker 1964-1972). The absence of such a number, however, does not imply that the work is not to be found in those sources. Only Gabler’s bibliography has been checked completely. Wherever possible, if the item is not included in the National Union Catalog Pre-1956 (NUC°), the entry notes in what source the item was found.

MEASUREMENTS

Where possible, the spine height is listed in centimeters and was for the most part taken from existing cataloging. In some cases where cataloging omitted spine height, we were able to examine the volume and measure the spine and supply the missing information. When available cataloging gave the spine height in more archaic terms such as quarto (4to), octavo (8vo), or duodecimo (12mo), we included the information in that form since it represents a range of measurement rather than an exact centimeter measurement. (For more information, see book sizes in Peters 1983.) If the cataloging lacked size information and we were unable to examine the item, no measurement appears in the entry.

ABBREVIATIONS AND CODES

NUC refers to the National Union Catalog: Pre-1956 Imprints.

NUC° denotes that the item is not listed in the NUC. Where possible, the location of items not in the NUC is given using the standardized NUC library codes. Transactions of state agricultural societies and other similar organizations are not as a rule included in the NUC because they are for the most part considered serials. These publications are widely available in Land Grant institution libraries.
