This book examines the rise of the American strawberry industry in the late 19th century, especially in Delaware and Maryland. Its focus is the economic and social impact that growing and harvesting the fruit had on farmers in the region. The rise of the strawberry industry in this era was made possible by the development of refrigerated rail cars and the growth of consumer demand for the fruit. The resulting boom had a profound impact on the region, leading to increased land values, the growth of new towns, and the development of new agricultural practices. The author examines the challenges faced by farmers, including competition, pests, and the need to adapt to changing market conditions. This book contributes to our understanding of the history of American agriculture and the rise of the modern food system.
