Sinopsis

Early Tobacco Cultivation explores the rich history of tobacco, focusing on its central role in pre-Columbian indigenous cultures. Far from being simply a recreational substance, tobacco was deeply embedded in the spiritual, medicinal, and social fabrics of these societies. The book argues that understanding this indigenous relationship is crucial for comprehending tobacco's subsequent global trajectory.

 
The book examines tobacco's botanical origins and early cultivation techniques, highlighting the diverse varieties and their unique properties. It uncovers how tobacco served as a conduit for communication with the spirit world and was integral to indigenous cosmology. It also details the medicinal uses of tobacco, from treating wounds to alleviating pain, revealing a sophisticated understanding of the plant's properties.

 
Through archaeological evidence, ethnobotanical studies, and historical accounts, Early Tobacco Cultivation presents a comprehensive view of tobacco's significance in pre-Columbian America. Structured in three parts, the book progresses from botanical origins to spiritual dimensions and medicinal applications, contrasting indigenous practices with later industrial approaches. Ultimately, this approach provides crucial context for understanding the complex history and far-reaching impacts of tobacco.

But an estimated fifty to sixty thousand burials were quietly built over and forgotten, only to resurface every time a new building project began. The dead still lie beneath some of the city's most cherished destinations, including the Legion of Honor, United Nations Plaza, the Asian Art Museum and the University of San Francisco.  Join author Beth Winegarner as she maps the city's early burial grounds and brings back to life the dead who've been erased.

The American Frontier - Pioneers...

Harry Montgomery

The early explorers set in motion a journey of discovery that would shape the destiny of a continent. Venturing into unknown lands with limited maps and few resources, these daring adventurers sought not only new trade routes and wealth but also the promise of uncharted territories. Their voyages were driven by curiosity, ambition, and in many cases, the desire to escape circumstances at home. With each step into unfamiliar territory, these pioneers faced challenges that tested their resilience and determination. Navigating vast rivers, towering mountain ranges, and endless stretches of dense forests, they pursued dreams that often ended in triumph as well as tragedy.
From the first accidental landfalls to the more deliberate exploratory expeditions, the stories of these early voyagers are filled with both brilliance and hardship. Many of the explorers were motivated by the promise of establishing new trade connections and expanding their nations’ borders. They set out with scientific instruments and compasses in hand, determined to chart the unknown. The natural phenomena they encountered—such as unusual weather patterns, peculiar rock formations, and unique animal species—sparked intense curiosity and led to detailed observations that formed the basis of early scientific inquiry in the New World. Their reports, albeit sometimes exaggerated, captured the imagination of those back home and often inspired further expeditions.
Encounters with the indigenous populations were a significant aspect of the early exploration period. While some interactions led to mutual exchange and cultural enrichment, others resulted in tension and conflict. The early explorers relied on guides from native tribes whose deep knowledge of the land provided invaluable assistance. In many instances, these native allies introduced new agricultural practices and survival techniques that enabled the explorers to adapt to the harsh wilderness.
