European settlers farmed tobacco, eventually collapsing the County's economy until the Quaker community returned fertility to the land. The C\u0026amp;O Canal was the nation's first significant infrastructure project and helped create links to national and international markets. In the 20th century, the Marriott chain developed contemporary, industrialized food that signaled a changing world. The Agricultural Reserve was intended to preserve the county's rural past in the face of rapid change. Along with farming, it also preserved history and foodways. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClaudia Kousoulas and Ellen Letourneau tell this agricultural history through food and recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 226\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 25, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51782588203296,"sku":"9781540251763","price":53.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/f8c63c150e8741b10119981ef62f2b04.webp?v=1780575129","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/culinary-history-of-montgomery-county-maryland-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
