Claude,

I also had questions about the author, etc., so I deleted the end of the
URL and got back to his home page. He is Dr. David R. Williams, visiting
assistant professor of English at George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia.

His article "The  Demise of Hard Cider as  America's Favorite Working Class
Drink" was first posted in 1995, according to his credits.
