GARDENS OF NEW SPAIN, How Mediterranean Plants and Foods Changed America
Author: William W. Dunmire
Price: $26.95
Shipping: $3.75
When the Spaniards began colonizing the America's in the late fifteenth and sixteenth Centuries, they brought with them the plants and foods of their homeland-wheat, melons, grapes, vegetables, and every kind of Mediterranean fruit. The missionaries and colonists introduced these plants to the native peoples of Mexico and the American Southwest where they became staple foods alongside the corn, beans, and squash that traditionally sustained the original Americans. This was one of the most significant fusions in the history of international cuisine. This is an excellent story of the diffusion of plants, gardens, agriculture and cuisine from late medieval Spain to the colonial frontier of Spanish America.

Author: Randolph P. Campbell
Price: $35.00
Shipping: $3.75
The author presents the epic tales of Texas history in a new light, offering revisionist history in the best sense-broadening and deepening the traditional story, without ignoring the heroes of the past. The scope is impressive beginning with the archaeological record of the Native Americans to the rise of the oil industry and ultimately the modernization of Texas. Swift moving accounts are included of the Mexican revolution against Spain, the arrival of the settlers from the United States, the lasting Spanish legacy (from cattle ranching, to place names and civil law), the Anglo-Texan revolution, the decade of the Republic of Texas and annexation by the United States. Offers a fresh understanding of why Texas continues to be seen as a state unlike any other, a place that distills the essence of what it means to be an American.
