She spent her childhood enjoying long walks in the countryside with her brother where she drew everything she could see. She developed a special affinity for drawing the local animal life, especially rabbits. Her pet rabbit, Benjamin Bouncer, served as the model for many of her early illustrations and would later inspire her most memorable creation. In 1902, her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, was published. It was based on a story she had written and illustrated for the children of a former governess, and it became immediately and immensely popular.

Born in 1816, 1818 and 1820, respectively, the sisters lived very short lives, with Charlotte living the longest at 38. During their unfortunately short lifetimes, each sister produced novels that would become cornerstones of western literature and inspire studies for generations. Emily's Wuthering Heights, Charlotte's Jane Eyre, and Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall each found an audience and acclaim that continues to this day. With their novels, the sisters introduced the world to a starkly honest portrayal of English womanhood that didn't hide the ugliness and intrigue many novels of the time shied away from. Although tame by today's standards, their inclusion of independent female characters, alcoholism, and abuse meant that the Bronte's novels faced their share of controversy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Bronte family kept an orchard and garden where the sisters spent much of their time exploring, drawing, and writing. Charlotte was more inclined to draw the flowers and the plants than to stop and smell them, but Anne and Emily were happy to get their hands dirty with a little gardening.

Growing up around powerful men prepared Dickinson for a life of the same, but society dictated that, as a woman, she was relegated to seemingly less meaningful ventures. Her anger at this slight comes across in her poetry and letters where she explored complex ideas of meaning and self while examining the smallest details of the world around her. She withdrew herself from society and lived in relative solitude until her death. Only a few of her poems were made public during her lifetime, but four years after her demise, a collection of poems was published and met with popular and critical acclaim. Her poems reveal a complicated mind that examined itself with as much attention to detail as it examined the world. Dickinson's defiance of categorization and simplification make her a popular poet to study even today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the years she spent away from society, Emily Dickinson cultivated an extensive garden.

In 1811, Jane's first novel Sense and Sensibility was published and met with immediate success.

The Blackfoot Indians inhabited the land in and around what is now Glacier National Park for approximately 10,000 years. They continued to dominate the land until the late 1870s when explorers and homesteaders made their way across the US during Westward Expansion. To this day the Blackfoot Tribe considers Glacier the \"most spiritual place for the Blackfoot\" and refers to it as \"the backbone of the world.\" The Blackfoot were not the only people who wanted to protect the area, George Bird Grinnell, a naturalist from the east, became fond of the land and the Indian Tribes who inhabited it. Throughout his travels, Grinnell advocated strongly for the humane treatment of the local Indian Tribes and campaigned for game laws to protect birds and other animals in the area. Grinnell originated the idea of a glacier national park from a map he drew of the area in the late 1800s and was responsible for promoting the legislation that made it possible. Many landmarks in Glacier are named after him, including Grinnell Glacier. He also is credited for naming the largest glacier in the park, Blackfoot Glacier, to honor the Blackfoot tribe he befriended, in addition to many other landmarks in the area.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUntil his death in the late 1930s, Grinnell did not take credit for his accomplishments, instead he credited the Great Northern Railroad for the Parks establishment. Grinnell convinced railroad president Louis Hill that the area was worth preserving and with Hill's influence Glacier was established as a national park in 1910 with little debate. In 1929, the same year Simpson \u0026amp; Vail was incorporated, Grinnell is quoted saying \"Important men in control of the Great Northern Railroad were made to see the possibilities of the region and after nearly twenty years of effort, a bill setting aside the park was passed.\" The Great Northern railroad line runs along the southern border of the park and ended up being beneficial to both parties as it made tourism possible in the area.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur goal with this blend was to provide, right in your mug, the wilderness and solitude that Glacier is famous for.

In 1872, President Grant signed a protection act in order to begin the preservation process, making Yellowstone the first official US national park. The National Park Service was not yet created, so the US Army took over responsibility of Yellowstone in order to strengthen and enforce regulations. Unfortunately, the Army was unable to effectively prevent poaching, especially of the nation's now oldest and largest public bison herd, and they also lacked the knowledge of the area that visitors craved. With the help of some influential conservationists, such as Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir, Woodrow Wilson, and many others, the National Park Service was created in 1916 with the top priority being preservation and appreciation for nature. In 1929, the same year Simpson \u0026amp; Vail was incorporated, Yellowstone received a boundary adjustment made to include a significant area of petrified trees (fossilized vegetation). Followed by a final boundary adjustment, in 1932, creating the final borders of the first US National Park that millions of people visit today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI found this a challenging blend to create.

The Smoky Mountains is the most visited park in the US with numbers such as 11.4 million visits in 2018. There is a multitude of reasons for these large numbers. On my last visit to the Smokies I met a woman and her family on vacation. She told me she vacationed in the Smokies every year since the 1970s and hikes a different trail every year! The variety of hiking trails is only one of the reasons people keep coming back. Delicious blackberries grow abundantly here and it's almost impossible to leave the Smokies without blackberry flavored goodies: Blackberry jam, blackberry donuts, and (the best) blackberry moonshine. Naturally when designing a blend for this park we started with a prominent blackberry flavor then added a subtle smoky taste which represents the haze that lays across the mountains.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHistory:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThis National Park is unique because, unlike out west where the government owned the land, the proposed land for the Smokies was already occupied by European settlers (farmers, loggers, and other businesses). After a trip to several national parks in the west, Anne Davis decided that the Great Smoky Mountains would be a perfect home for a national park. She set out to take part in establishing this park in order to halt the progress of loggers, who were beginning to diminish resources and wildlife from the area. She was elected to the state legislature with this goal in mind and became instrumental in proposing the legislation that provided funds for the purchase of the Little River Lumber Company land that became the kernel for what would grow into the national park. Her efforts were one of many that dated back to the late 1890's in the struggle to establish a western style national park in the east.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1929, the same year that Simpson \u0026amp; Vail was incorporated, the National Park Service set out to purchase private land within the proposed park boundaries. While many people sold their holdings others, like the Walker family, were more resistant. John and Margaret Jane Walker lived in a small 3 room, two story cabin with their eleven children. After John Walker died, he left the home to his six unmarried daughters. The sisters refused to leave their home and it wasn't until 1940, that they agreed to sell their family residence with the stipulation of being allowed to live out their lives on the property. As visitors began to flood the Smokies, the Walker sisters still lived their humble, mountain lifestyle. They were welcoming to tourists for a little over 30 years after the park's founding until, in 1966, the last sister passed away. The Walker's homestead still stands and is a visual reminder of the mountain lifestyle that once existed in the Park.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIngredients: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack teas, lapsang souchong tea, blackberries, blackberry leaf, marigold petals and blackberry flavor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4 Ounces of loose tea makes approximately 50 cups of tea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSimpson \u0026amp; Vail donates \u003c\/span\u003e10% of all tea sales in this line to help preserve our beautiful National Parks.
