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.

Letter from Jim D. Bowmer to Dr. Clarence Richardson, cc'd to Dr. John Asbury, Mr. Bob Burleson, and Dr. Roy Renfro, discussing the issues California vineyards are having with phylloxera. There is a handwritten note at the bottom of the letter addressed to Dr. Renfro asking him what he knows about the California problem. Included with the letter is Chapter 16 of a paper by Jim D. and Daurice Bowmer discussing T. V. Munson's research on grapes in Bell County, Texas in the 1880s. The chapter is titled "How Bell County Grapes Saved France" and outlines the characteristics of the insect-resistant species of grape Munson discovered in Bell County, Texas.
