264 pages. Author's signature atop title page. "Our family story reads like none other. This Smith saga takes us from poor pioneers to feisty farmers; from Senators to Brigadiers; from local fruit processing to a national manufacturer to a growing North American family firm. When I realized our history included war, fire, the Great Depression, family dissension, bravery under attack, successes, failures, innovation and vision, I wanted to pass it all on to my children. Apart from the name Smith, the common thread throughout the generations has been jam. A guiet, friendly, unassuming product has been the mainstay of our business. It is the framework from which all the adventures stem, and they are considerable." - Author Unmarked. Moderate wear. Prior owner's business card affixed inside front cover.

He was born in the Netherlands in 1744 to Robert Stedman, a Scot and an officer in Holland's Scots Brigade, and his wife of Dutch noble lineage, Antoinetta Christina van Ceulen. He lived most of his childhood in Holland with his parents but spent time with his uncle in Scotland. His years in Surinam, on the northern coast of South America, were characterized by encounters with African slaves and colonial planters, as well as the exotic local flora and fauna. He recorded his experiences in this Narrative of a Five Years Expedition against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam (1796) which, with its firsthand depictions of slavery and other aspects of colonization, became an important tool in the early abolitionist cause. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

Hedrick-Woodburn: History of Horticulture in America p.489: "From the time of its first printing in 1846 down to 1900, the fruit book in America most used by fruit growers, nurserymen and later in colleges and schools was John Jacobs Thomas' The American Fruit Culturist." The first edition was a slim paper-covered volume with 30 woodcuts which became a popular and useful guide. It was subsequently expanded and is one of those books that got better over time. Most of the other editions did not have the fine colored frontispiece of fruit that this edition has. This edition has an extensive listing of fruit varieties and descriptions.
