Title: St. Helena gets new book Author: John Lindblom Publisher: The Weekly Calistogan Date: 3/6/2010 The formal release of a new history book on St. Helena on March 14 at Charles Krug Winery's Carriage House will, in itself, be an historic occasion of sorts. The book, co-authored by Mariam Hansen and Susanne Salvestrin, is the most comprehensive study of the town's past to date. Its simple name, "Images of America: St. Helena," and the fact that it is just but one of 3,000 books in an Arcadia Publishing (Charleston, S.C.) series of books about U.S. communities (including Calistoga) do not subtract from its significance. "They (Arcadia) have been looking for some time to do a book on St. Helena. They knew that we are the heart of the wine country and that this would be a book that people would be interested in," said Hansen. It could be that the book will be a hot commodity, given St. Helena's position as the wine-tasting Mecca to people from everywhere. "Yes, and I think the publisher knew that and that's one of the reasons why (Arcadia) pushed it," Hansen said. "They really wanted to do this book." The release party for the book, from 2 to 4 p.m., will be a gala event celebrating the period from the 1880s to the 1960s in St. Helena. The book's project team will be introduced and a presentation tracing the town's history from its founding will be complemented by a vintage photo slideshow. Like the Calistoga book, which was researched and written by John Waters Jr., editor of The Weekly Calistogan, the St. Helena publication will provide an historical picture overview. "We were limited to 18,000 words in the text and I think we got to 17,950," said Hansen. "We tried to pack in as much history as we could." "Images of America: St. Helena" ($21.99) became available on the Arcadia Web site on Monday of this week. (It's also available from Amazon.com.) Other point of purchase locations are being established, but on March 14 it will become available through the St. Helena Historical Society, 967-5502.
Synopsis
The town of St. Helena lies in the heart of Napa Valley, America s celebrated wine-producing region located 63 miles north of San Francisco. In 1854, Henry Still and a Mr. Walters purchased 126 acres from the Mexican land grant of Dr. Edward Bale. They offered free lots to anyone who would start a business there, having the foresight to predict a flourishing town in this verdant agricultural area. Premium wine grapes were planted here by the 1870s, and a thriving wine industry began. There are two theories about how the town got its name: either from the local division of the Sons of Temperance or from Mount St. Helena at the northern end of the valley. As the town developed, its residents, along with those from nearby Oakville, Rutherford, Angwin, and Pope Valley, shopped at its stores, attended its churches and schools, tended its fields, and made merry at numerous gatherings. This book captures these activities in photographs dating from 1880 to 1960.", The town of St. Helena lies in the heart of Napa Valley, America's celebrated wine-producing region located 63 miles north of San Francisco.
