A History of American Dairying

1967. John T. Schlebecker. Rand McNally & Company, Chicago. 48 pp. $1.00

Pennsylvania State University, University Park

ABSTRACT

This interesting and readable little book from the American Technology series of Rand McNally's Classroom Library comes from a publishing house not normally known for its activities in the dairy field. Let's hope we are presented with more of these or similar contributions.

In about 48 pages the author (Curator, Division of Agriculture and Forestry, Smithsonian Institution) draws a picture of the beginnings of American dairy history which with its romantic, realistic, humorous, serious, and factual aspects, is indeed a gem to behold. Mr. Schlebecker is known to us through his History of Dairy Journalism in the United States, 1810–1950 which was published by the University of Wisconsin Press in 1957. The author may not be a dairy technologist, if one judges by a few fine points in the description of certain technical matters, but he certainly is an historian who knows how to report history.
