History, pomology, the mind of Thomas Jefferson, the best of many worlds in scholarship and nature, are all to be found here, as well as a number of surprises.... The book is at once thorough, authoritative, and a pleasure to read. For it's not only that the author knows his subject as does no one else, but that he has the natural ability as a writer to include us in its pleasures."--David McCullough Anyone who didn't already know that fruit-growing looks more romantic from the outside than the inside will come away from the book recognizing that a working 'fruitery' is a hard-won achievement. "As seen here, Monticello fascinatingly crystallized an age full of promise, puzzlement, and contradictions. It was a place quintessentially Jeffersonian: the creation of a man who loved experimenting with unions of the useful and the beautiful."-- "Los Angeles Times " "This is an intriguing book. It took Hatch 10 years to write a book that will appeal to pomologists, backyard fruit growers, historians, and politicians. That is a wide sweep and Hatch does it magnificently."-- "Richmond Times-Dispatch " "Illustrated both with old drawings and photographs as well as recent color photographs of the varieties, this book has an astonishing amount of historical detail.... Those interested in early American fruit culture and the dawn of horticulture (which were nearly synonymous) will find no better account than this."-- "Horticulture " "Beautifully illustrated, "The Fruits and Fruit Trees of Monticello " is indispensable reading for anyone interested in Jefferson, or the history of American horticulture." -- "Traditional Gardening " Lavishly illustrated, Peter Hatch's "The Fruits and Fruit Trees of Monticello " is not only a detailed history of Jefferson's gardens and their re-creation but a virtual encyclopedia of early American pomology.
