astrachan apples?

I've been reading Harriet Beecher Stowe's book about her life in Mandarin, FL back around 1870, and she makes several references to people growing astrachan apples. When I went and looked them up, a couple of websites mentioned that they were once recommended for FL back when they were a common variety.

Has anyone here ever tried them?

(BTW, she also says they used hawthorn as rootstock back then.)
