(The Cultivation of The Native Grape, and Manufacture of A...)
The Cultivation of The Native Grape, and Manufacture of American Wines is a classic grape cultivation/viticulture guide by George Husmann. In nearly all our books on grape culture I notice another defect, especially in those published in the East; it is, that they contain a great deal of good advice about grape culture, but very little about wine-making, and the treatment of wine in the cellar.

He was born at Meyenburg, Prussia (now Germany) in 1827, son of J. H. Martin and Louise Charlotte (Wesselhoeft) Husmann. The family emigrated in 1837, took shares in the Ansiedlungs-Gesellschaft of Philadelphia, and in the winter of 1838-39 joined the company's settlement at Hermann, Mo.
He attended school at Meyenburg, where his father was a village schoolmaster, and was inspired by him with a love of nature and of horticultural pursuits. George received instruction in German, English, and French from his elder brother, Frederick.
His first vineyard was planted on his father's farm in 1847. In 1850 he went to California, tried mining, but returned two years later to look after the farm of a widowed sister. Here he planted extensive vineyards and orchards, which became known as the model fruit-farm of Missouri.
During the Civil War he was quartermaster of the 4th Infantry, Missouri Volunteers, 1862-63. In 1869 he moved to Bluffton, Mo. , as president of the Bluffton Wine Company. Following a ruinous decline in the prices of grapes and wines, which caused his company to fail, he moved in 1872 to Sedalia, Mo. , and started a nursery. From 1870 to 1875 he shipped millions of cuttings of phylloxera-resistant vines to reëstablish French vineyards.
In 1878 he went to Columbia, Mo. , as professor and superintendent of pomology and forestry at the state university. Indefatigable, he taught, made extensive plantings, converted the campus into an arboretum, warred against itinerant pedlers of nursery stock, and pleaded for recognition and financial support from the legislature. Three of his children attended the university.
In 1881 he moved to Napa, Cal. , where he managed the Talcoa Vineyards, grew vinifera grapes, and made prize wines. He was United States statistical agent for California from 1885 to 1900, and was a member of the first Viticultural Congress at Washington, D. C. He died at Napa.
He enjoyed a reputation as viticulturist and wine-maker second only to that of Nicholas Longworth. By invitation he contributed many essays to journals and society reports. He published the Grape Culturist from 1869 to 1873, and was the author of An Essay on the Culture of the Grape in the Great West (1862), The Cultivation of the Native Grape and Manufacture of American Wines (1866), American Grape Growing and Wine-Making (1880), and Grape Culture and Wine-Making in California (1888).

Active in public affairs, he served sixteen years on the Missouri State Board of Agriculture, of which he was vice-president, 1867-68; was a member of the convention of 1865 to revise the Missouri constitution; was presidential elector for Grant; and member of the board of curators of the University of Missouri, 1869-72. An unselfish promoter of horticulture, he helped found and was a charter member of many organizations.
Husmann was a small man with sparkling eyes full of humor, and a bearded, German countenance. He was energetic, keen, outspoken but unobtrusive.
He married Louise Caroline Kielmann in 1854.
