The Pecan
Author: James McWilliams
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292753918
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
“This excellent and charming story describes a tree that endured numerous hardships to become not only a staple of Southern cuisine but an American treasure.” —Library Journal What would Thanksgiving be without pecan pie? New Orleans without pecan pralines? But as familiar as the pecan is, most people don’t know the fascinating story of how native pecan trees fed Americans for thousands of years until the nut was “improved” a little more than a century ago—and why that rapid domestication actually threatens the pecan’s long-term future. In The Pecan, the acclaimed author of Just Food and A Revolution in Eating explores the history of America’s most important commercial nut. He describes how essential the pecan was for Native Americans—by some calculations, an average pecan harvest had the food value of nearly 150,000 bison. McWilliams explains that, because of its natural edibility, abundance, and ease of harvesting, the pecan was left in its natural state longer than any other commercial fruit or nut crop in America. Yet once the process of “improvement” began, it took less than a century for the pecan to be almost totally domesticated. Today, more than 300 million pounds of pecans are produced every year in the United States—and as much as half of that total might be exported to China, which has fallen in love with America’s native nut. McWilliams also warns that, as ubiquitous as the pecan has become, it is vulnerable to a “perfect storm” of economic threats and ecological disasters that could wipe it out within a generation. This lively history suggests why the pecan deserves to be recognized as a true American heirloom.

Book Description
Excerpt from Illustrated Instructions for Setting Up and Running the Bickford Family Knitting Machine: Also for Making the Different Articles Thereon I present you this book to explain to you my position, and give you the confidence in my business and machine that every one should have before recommending a thing to their friends; and if you will look it through carefully, you will see what claim I have upon your confidence and patronage. In investigating the Knitting Machine business some over three years ago, I came to the conclusion that this branch of improvements had been left out entirely, and that it was my business to make a good labor-saving machine; and since that I have struggled through all manner of difficulties and disappointments, but have been determined all the while to succeed in presenting every household with one of the most useful and complete pieces of mechanism in the world; something that would enable the weary housewife to have a few hours of rest and recreation, as well as the matrons and young ladies of leisure and fashion to have a never failing fountain of pleasure as well as solid enjoyment. And feeling that no lady would object to spend her leisure moments in constructing something beautiful as well as useful, if she had a neat, handy article to do it on; and knowing that articles entirely improvised and completed by some dear friend arc more highly prized than the most expensive articles made by others, I have kept pushing on until I have brought my machine to that perfection that the public demand before they arc willing to spend their own money and recommend their friends to do so. Since I commenced some others have attempted, by infringing upon my improvements, to put something they call Knitters, into competition with me; but parties will not have to hesitate which to buy, for there is no attempt that will do one-fourth what mine will do.
