Food Lit & Cookbook Book Club

October Book Selection:
American Cider by Dan Pucci & Craig Cavallo

Cider today runs the gamut from sweet to dry, smooth to funky, made from apples and sometimes joined by other fruits—and even hopped like beer. In American Cider, aficionados Dan Pucci and Craig Cavallo give a new wave of consumers the tools to taste, talk about, and choose their ciders, along with stories of the many local heroes saving apple culture and producing new varieties.

American Cider is a guide to enjoying cider, but even more so, it is a guide to being part of a community of consumers, farmers, and fermenters making the nation’s oldest beverage its newest must-try drink.

NY State Library Online Lecture
Escape From The Sugar House
Levi Hanford & The American Revolution

Presented by Timothy J. Duerden
Online Program - Registration Required 

This talk will be based on Timothy J. Duerden’s novel "Escape From The Sugar House," which tells the story of Levi Hanford, a teenaged Revolutionary War militiaman who survived a stint as a prisoner of war at the infamous Sugar House Prison in New York City and then spent his final years in the Catskills. Based on actual events, this coming-of-age adventure story is set against the backdrop of America’s struggle for independence. It’s a time of upheaval. A time when divided loyalties can mean the difference between freedom and imprisonment. Between life and death.

Timothy J. Duerden has served as the Executive Director of the Delaware County Historical Association in Delhi, NY since 2003. Beginning in 2000 and continuing to the present he has taught history as an adjunct instructor in the State University of New York system. Currently, he teaches at SUNY Oneonta.
