The definitive history of an iconic American food, with new
chapters, sidebars, and updated historical accounts The full story
of barbecue in the United States had been virtually untold before
Robert F. Moss revealed its long, rich history in his 2010 book
Barbecue: The History of an American Institution. Moss researched
hundreds of sources-newspapers, letters, journals, diaries, and
travel narratives-to document the evolution of barbecue from its
origins among Native Americans to its present status as an icon of
American culture. He mapped out the development of the rich array
of regional barbecue styles, chronicled the rise of barbecue
restaurants, and profiled the famed pitmasters who made the
tradition what it is today. Barbecue is the story not just of a
dish but also of a social institution that helped shape many
regional cultures of the United States. The history begins with
British colonists' adoption of barbecuing techniques from Native
Americans in the 17th and 18th centuries, moves to barbecue's
establishment as the preeminent form of public celebration in the
19th century, and is carried through to barbecue's ubiquitous
standing today. From the very beginning, barbecues were powerful
social magnets, drawing together people from a wide range of
classes and geographic backgrounds. Barbecue played a key role in
three centuries of American history, both reflecting and
influencing the direction of an evolving society. By tracing the
story of barbecue from its origins to today, Barbecue: The History
of an American Institution traces the very thread of American
social history. Moss has made significant updates in this new
edition, offering a wealth of new historical research, sources,
illustrations, and anecdotes.
