[Letter from M.-C. Fortier to R. Renfro, July 24, 1995]
Letter from Marie-Claude Fortier from the Wine-Museum of Arbois to Dr. Roy Renfro (head of the T. V. Muson Memorial Vineyard) discussing various trips and a hope that they can meet up as well as information about the research at the Wine-Museum regarding correspondence and rootstock trading between American and French viticulturists around the end of the 19th century. In particular, she has found a reference to Munson (enclosed as a photocopy), who received the "Legion of Honor with the title of 'Chevalier du Merite Agricole' in 1888" and is hoping to get additional information from the archives in Denison. Fortier has also included a pamphlet about Arbois, France.

The Munson Grapes -- A Rich Germplasm Legacy
Abstract: An historical review is presented of the contributions of TV. Munson to viticulture and the improvement of cultivated grapes. Munson developed more than 300 grape cultivars with the principal goal of combining the pest resistance and climatic adaptability of various native American grape species with the superior fruit quality of commercial cultivars. Several Munson cultivars achieved commercial importance in the early 1900's and a few are still grown today, most notably the rootstock 'Dog Ridge.' Munson's legacy is the genetic diversity within his cultivars; a valuable genetic resource for grape breeders.
