With a fresh take on social dynamics in the antebellum South, Jonathan Daniel Wells contest the popular idea that the Old South was a region of essentially tow classes (planters and slaves) until after the Civil War.

Appendix: Commericial and Professional Occupations based on 1850 and 1860 U.S. Census Catagories. Enclosed in an acid free document bag for storage. I can have this in the mail to you tomorrow. BASM.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Cheese Files invites you on a richly detailed expedition that traces cheese from its accidental Neolithic beginnings to its vibrant place on tables worldwide today. You will follow the curd through ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, discover how Greek and Roman myths elevated cheese to ambro…sia, and see how monastic cellars preserved and refined the craft during the Dark Ages. Each chapter builds a vivid picture of how geography, trade, and tradition shaped the incredible diversity of cheese we know now, turning a simple preservation method into a cultural cornerstone. As you move beyond history, the book demystifies the science and art of cheesemaking, explaining the roles of milk, cultures, rennet, and aging in clear, approachable terms. You will learn to distinguish between bloomy rind, washed rind, blue veined, fresh, semi-hard, and hard cheeses, understanding what gives each its unique texture, aroma, and flavor. This knowledge transforms every bite into an informed experience, letting you appreciate the subtle craft behind a wedge of Gruyere or the bold punch of a Roquefort. Interwoven with the historical and technical narrative are dozens of tested recipes that let you taste the past and present in your own kitchen. From simple farmer's cheese and classic Caprese salad to indulgent baked Brie, hearty Tartiflette, and the ultimate macaroni and cheese, each dish is designed to highlight a specific cheese family. You will also find step-by-step guides for making fresh Ricotta, stretching Mozzarella, whipping a Feta dip, and mastering a cheese souffle, turning theory into delicious, hands-on practice. The book then guides you through the joy of sharing cheese, covering the principles of pairing with wine, beer, cider, and spirits, and showing how to build a balanced, beautiful cheese board. You will learn how to select cheeses by texture, milk type, and intensity, arrange them for visual appeal, and choose accompaniments that complement or contrast without overwhelming. Practical tips on cutting, serving at the right temperature, and storing cheese ensure that every serving is at its peak flavor and aroma. Finally, The Cheese Files equips you to continue your own exploration with confidence. You will discover how to taste cheese like an expert, using sight, smell, touch, and palate to unlock layers of nuance, and how to navigate the cheese counter, ask the right questions, and store your selections properly at home. Whether you are a curious newcomer or a seasoned aficionado, this book deepens your appreciation, expands your repertoire, and inspires you to savor, cook, and celebrate the endless world of cheese. The Cheese Files explores cheese's journey from Neolithic origins to modern tables, covering history, science, varieties, and tested recipes that let readers taste and appreciate cheese's cultural and culinary heritage.
