==Background==
Thomas Volney Munson was born in Astoria, Illinois. He was a son of William Munson (1808-1890) and Maria (Linley) Munson (1810-1890). Munson was an 1870 graduate of the University of Kentucky. Shortly after completing his education, he married and moved to the vicinity of Lincoln, Nebraska. In 1873 he became interested in the improvement of the various species of grapes native to the United States and planned to do systematic work in the way of developing new varieties by cross pollination and hybridization. His experiments failed because of climatic rigors and a visitation of the Rocky Mountain locusts. Undismayed, Munson moved to Denison, Texas, in April 1876 where two of his brothers had already relocated.
While primarily remembered as horticulturist, Munson was interested in a variety of fields, and is credited with several inventions, including a primitive helicopter. He became recognized as a botanist as well as a viticulturist, a volume entitled ''Native Trees of the Southwest'' having been prepared under the direction of the United States Department of Agriculture and a similar thesis being submitted in 1883 for the master's degree at the Kentucky Agricultural College. Munson died in Denison, Texas.
