Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : As New. 1st Edition. Condition is AS NEW in a hard cover. DJ is AS NEW. Founding Spirits: George Washington and the Beginnings of the American Whiskey Industry is a non-fiction book by author Dennis J. Pogue. The book centers on George Washington's little-known role as the owner of one of the largest whiskey distilleries in 18th-century America. Book summary Pogue, a historian and archaeologist who served as Mount Vernon's Vice President of Preservation, utilizes the plantation's documents to explore Washington's distillery business. Following his second presidential term, Washington opened the distillery with the help of his Scottish farm manager, James Anderson. The business quickly grew into the most profitable of all of Washington's commercial ventures, and the book details how this enterprise contributed to the origins of the American whiskey industry. The book also discusses the social role of alcoholic beverages in Colonial American society and dispels the myth that Washington was a non-drinker. He was a social drinker who enjoyed various beverages, including fortified wines, rum punch, and whiskey, and was a proponent of moderation. Pogue's work sheds light on the history of American whiskey production and the surprising entrepreneurial side of the nation's first president.…

Hardcover. Etat : Very good. Etat de la jaquette : Very good. First Printing [Stated]. x, 222, [2] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Author signed bookplate on half-title page. Dennis Pogue graduated from the U of Iowa in Iowa City with a BA in History, and in the 1970s made his way east to pursue his interest in studying the history of early America. He is a leader in researching, writing, and teaching about colonial American society and culture. Over the course of his 25-year career at George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate, Museum & Gardens, Dr. Pogue directed the archaeological research program, oversaw the preservation of the Mansion and 13 other original 18th-century structures, restored several outbuildings and rooms in the house to their original appearance, and managed the reconstruction of a variety of structures and features of the plantation landscape. He rose within the organization to serve on the senior management team as the vice president in charge of all preservation-related activities on the estate. One of his signature programs was reconstructing the award-winning Mount Vernon distillery and restoring the adjacent gristmill, respectively the only operating authentic 18th-century whiskey distillery and automated Oliver Evans-designed grain mill in America. In Founding Spirits George Washington s largely unknown and unexamined role as the entrepreneurial owner of one of the largest whiskey distilleries in 18th-century America forms the core of this detailed portrayal of the origins of the American whiskey industry. At the end of Washington's second presidential term, his plantation manager, a Scotsman with extensive experience distilling whiskey, made the president a proposition that he simply could not refuse. Thus, Washington agreed to invest in a stone still house and outfit it with state-of-the-art distilling equipment. The enterprise soon grew to be the most profitable of all of Washington s commercial ventures. The distillery was not Washington's first or only engagement with spirituous liquors, as they were called at the time. Washington was a confirmed social drinker. He knew first-hand both the benefits and drawbacks to the high levels of alcohol consumption that were the norm of his time. Using the rich body of personal papers and other documentary evidence from the Mount Vernon plantation, Pogue highlights the development of American whiskey production and the primary economic and social role consuming alcoholic beverages played in Colonial American society.".…
