Kautz

Résumé du livre

In Kautz: A Story of Family and Farm in California, Kevin Starr tells the true story of one family and one family farm that in its themes of immigration, hard work, inventiveness, risk taking, and love of the land reflects the larger story of agriculture in California, and in these United States. The Kautzes arrived in California only to have the Great Depression delay their hopes of starting their own farm. The family endured and prospered. Starr describes how the original forty-acre homestead, without losing its identity as a family farm, grew across three generations of effort into one of the leading agricultural enterprises of its kind in the state. The Kautzes went on to develop Ironstone, an extraordinary winery in Murphys, California, that is a visible expression of the Kautz family saga. Kevin Starr was State Librarian of California and Professor of History at University of Southern California. 12 chapters, 284 pages, 196 photos.
