A new book called Missouri Wine Country: St. Charles to Hermann is scheduled for release April 19, 2010 by Arcadia Publishing as part of its Images of America series. The book is available on amazon.com and will be for sale by major chains, as well as independent sellers.
The book is authored by Diana and Don Graveman. They already have two signing events scheduled for April in St. Charles. Events in Hermann is planned. Diana and Don will be at our May meeting as our guest.
A brief description:
Before prohibition, Missouri was the second largest wine-producing state in the union, and for a short time during the Civil War, it was number one. Today the state's lush green area overlooking the Missouri River is officially recognized as America's first wine district. Parts of this district have produced wine since the 1830s, when German immigrants from the Rhine River Valley settled in Missouri. The historic towns of Augusta and Defiance, home of pioneer Daniel Boone, are part of this district. Other towns along the river include Dutzow, the first permanent German settlement in Missouri; Washington, which holds the state record for the most buildings on the National Register of Historic Places; and Hermann, recognized by its settlers as a German utopia.
About the Authors:
Don Graveman, a graduate of the University of Missouri, is a historian and freelance photographer. Dianna Graveman, an editor, writer, and teacher, holds degrees from Lindenwood University and the University of Missouri-St. Louis. With the assistance of community residents, Historic Hermann's Museum at the German School, and the historical societies in Gasconade County, St. Charles County, Warren County, and Washington, the Gravemans have assembled a broad, pictorial history of Missouri wine country from St. Charles to Hermann.
