This unconventional history relates the engaging and unusual stories of three families in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries whose involvement in the peppermint oil industry provides insights into the perspectives and concerns of rural people of their time. Challenging the standard paradigms, historian Dan Allosso focuses on the rural characters who lived by their own rules and did not acquiesce to contemporary religious doctrines, business mores, and political expediencies.Yale agrarian studies series.Yale scholarship online.Peppermint industryUnited StatesHistory19th centuryAgricultureUnited StatesHistory19th centuryFarm lifeUnited StatesHistory19th centuryUnited StatesRural conditionsHistory.fastPeppermint industryHistoryAgricultureHistoryFarm lifeHistory338.47661806095Allosso Dan1537215StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910794016503321Peppermint kings3786403UNINA
