 American Vintage The Rise of American Wine by Paul Lukacs
Here is a full history from the 17th century experiments to the fall of wine during the dark days of Prohibition through its remarkably rapid upswing in recent decades. This story is replete with quirky heroes and visionaries who changed the course of wine history: from Nicholas Longsworth, a diminutive 19th century real estate tycoon, to the Mondavis and Gallos, the powerful first families of American wine in the modern era.
5½" x 8½" 386 pages, index, photos, paperbound
#520 American Vintage $16.95
   We recommend the following book because John Adlum, the man featured in this sequence on the vinyard in Washington, DC had served in the War of 1812. Although Adlum is not mentioned in the book, it's a quick way to learn about what transpired 200 years ago.

 
 The Rockets Red Glare by Donald R. Hickey & Connie D. Clark
A foremost expert and author of several books on the War of 1812, Professor Donald R. Hickey has teamed up with Ms. Clark to produce this exciting and fast- moving depiction of America's second war against Great Britain. It starts with the political wrangling and riots in Baltimore that led up to the fighting, then recounts the battles and campaigns, from William Hull's ignominious surrender at Detroit, Oliver Perry's surprising victory on Lake Erie, the death of Shawnee leader Tecumseh which made General William Henry Harrison nationally famous, the night-long attack on Fort McHenry which spawned the book's title and our national anthem, to Andrew Jackson's, to Andrew Jackson's stunning victory at New Orleans.
9" x 10" 234 pages, index, illustrated, hardbound
#521 Rockets Red Glare $39.95
   This book has some information about the Army that is hard to find in any Army history tome, specifically The Provisional Army and the Eventual Army. The main character in the Wine Sequence, John Adlum, was an officer in the Provisional Army which will be featured in an upcoming sequence.

 
 The United States Infantry - An Illustrated History 1775 - 1918
by Gregory J. W. Urwin; Illustrated by Darby Erd
The title is a bit deceiving. Actually, the American army began when the English set up their colony in Jamestown, Virginia in 1607 and set up a militia to fight the Indians. It became more organized in 1758 with the onset of the French and Indian War. Congress officially established the U.S. Army in 1775, placing George Washington in overall command. This brief, lively narrative not only covers the strategy and tactics of the Army, but delves into the politics and congressional involvement in its development. More than 30 detailed, full-color illustrations show the uniforms, weapons, and accessories. Also includes maps and 100+ pictures.

Flashbacks Volume One
  A Cartoon of the District of Columbia
Patrick M. Reynolds
brings history to life with a sense of humor. His exciting drawings put you on the scene with the conflicts, madness, plus the wheeling and dealing that resulted in the location and construction of the U.S. capital city, despite all the bickering, petty jealousies, and down-right stupidity. This volume is almost out of print, hence the higher price.
