The progenitor of the Jasmines in the United States was Gaetano Jasmine. Upon arrival in America, Jasmine stayed briefly in Harford County at the insistence of Henry Tighlman Paca, a descendant of William Paca, before setting out for San Francisco where he began to organize his food trade. After the war, he became a citizen and settled on East 89th Street in New York's Upper East Side.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History takes time.... History makes memory.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“There are two great unknown forces to-day, electricity and woman, but men can reckon much better on electricity than they can on woman.”
—Josephine K. Henry, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 15, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
