Paperback. Condition: Good. Christian Heurich (1842-1945) was not only Washington D.C.'s most successful brewer, he was the world's oldest, with 90 years' experience. He walked across central Europe learning his craft, survived a shipboard cholera epidemic, recovered from malaria and worked as a roustabout on a Caribbean banana boat--all by age 30. Heurich lived most of his life in Washington, becoming its largest private landowner and opening the city's largest brewery. He won a beer war against his rivals and his beers won medals at World's Fairs. He was trapped in Europe while on vacation at the start of both World Wars, once sleeping through an air raid, and was accused of being a German spy plotting to assassinate Woodrow Wilson. A notably odd episode: when they began to tear down his old brewery to build the Kennedy Center, the wrecking ball bounced off the walls. Drawing on family papers and photos, the author chronicles Heurich's life and the evolving beer industry before and after Prohibition.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Youth, beauty, and intellectual vivacity seem to live upon the canvas, in their freshness of gaiety and fashion, and of joyous health. Such was the reaction to Sir Thomas Lawrence s painting of the Beautiful Miss Croker . This was a classic Regency-era portrait. Who was she? Dive into the fascinating story of Miss Croker . Kissed by Two Kings and a playmate to a future queen, Rosamund Croker personified the young, fashionable set in the Regency world captured by author Jane Austen. Glittering balls, palaces, prime ministers, politicians, and even the Duke of Wellington were part of the debutante s life! Becoming Lady Barrow, she kept her social connections while embracing the Victorian world of Charles Dickens, spreading the love of God, helping the poor, helping build a church, and founding a cottage hospital. This is the story of a woman who lived through five reigns and made a difference to society, all arguably stemming from a portrait painted when she was 17 years old! Youth, beauty, and intellectual vivacity seem to live upon the canvas, in their freshness of gaiety and fashion, and of joyous health.
