Historic California: It's Colorful Names and How It Got Them
ISBN: 9781495409899 / Angielski / Miękka / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Place names can be serious or downright comical. Take the naming of the town of Moreno in Riverside County. The developer didn't want his name applied to the town fearing it would later become a slum. Town fathers used it anyway, translating the name Brown into Spanish "Moreno." California place names are often descriptive of the activity that takes place in a town. A good example is the town of Carpenteria. When Portola made his march to Monterey, diarists took note of Indians carving a canoe. They called it Carpenteria, which means carpenter shop in Spanish.

ISBN: 9781556131936 / Angielski / Miękka / 454 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The History of Lexington begins in the mist of prehistory.

ISBN: 9781475770223 / Angielski / Miękka / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. New England archaeology has not always been everyone's cup of tea; only late in the Golden of nineteenth-century archaeology, as archaeology's focus turned westward, did a few pioneers look northward as well, causing a brief flurry of investigation and excavation. Between 1892 and 1894, Charles C. Willoughby did some exemplary excavations at three small burial sites in Bucksport, Orland, and Ellsworth, Maine, and made some models of that activity for exhibition at the Chicago World's Fair. These activities were encouraged by E Putnam, director of the Harvard Peabody Museum and head of...

Custer's Last Stand and Why

Dale, I have finished two readings through your booklet and feel that I am as prepared to comment on it now as I ever will be, so here goes. WARNING... I do not give rave reviews unless the material warrants it IMO. Your book was entertaining, informative, and quite disorganized in my viewpoint, and I learned much from the experience of reading it. Your artwork added much to the flavor of the text, and although it will not rank you among the great artists of history, was certainly craftsman-like and pleasant to view. The description of your life's adventures and the people you have met and...

Waldo originally read his address on the early history of Tolland before the Tolland County Historical Society and many of his listeners expressed a strong desire to see his address in print.

Chronicles of the White Mountains

Bent, in the Introduction to his admirable Bibliography of the White Mountains, published in 1911, makes the doubtless somewhat surprising remark that "the White Mountains... have had more written about them, probably, than any other mountains, the Alps alone excepted." When one seeks an explanation for this circumstance, that a district of so limited area and mountains of such relatively low elevation have received an apparently disproportionate amount of literary attention, one may find it, in part at least, as pointed out by the author of an article printed now...

In the process, they developed...
