Mostoller Wild Goose
(Pole) The origins of this bean are attributed to the Mostoller family of Somerset, Pennsylvania. Joseph and Sara Mostoller had two sons, David and Civil War veteran John W. Mostoller. 1 John went hunting the fall of 1865 and shot a lone goose. 1 He brought it home and while his mother, Sara prepared it she found beans inside of its craw. 1, 2 The family saved the beans and planted them in the spring of 1866 and continued to pass them on. 2
