Harrison Cider Apple
The 'Harrison' cider apple is one of the most famous 18th-century American cider apples, which means that it was primarily used for the production of apple cider. Grown in New Jersey before and after the American Revolution, it became obsolete by the 20th century. The 'Harrison' cider apple was considered lost until it was recovered in Livingston, New Jersey at an old cider mill in September 1976.
==Historical description==
William Coxe, the first American to publish an illustrated book on the already enormous variety of fruits being grown in North America following the American Revolution, described the Harrison Cider Apple in 1817:
The breeding stock for apples, pears, cherries, plums, and peaches that has become the source of contemporary pome fruits in North America was set in place and fully described in Coxe's book. While most of these fruit varieties or their parents arrived from Europe, Coxe advocated growing the new American varieties derived from the European ones, since they showed themselves to be better adapted to the American climate and soils.
When S.A. Beach wrote "The Apples of New York" in 1905, no mention of the Harrison was made, as it had slipped into obsolescence by the 20th century. The chief cause of this obsolescence was the growing momentum of the temperance movement throughout the United States, beginning in the 1820s.
