ISBN: 9780312540388 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most readers know Salem only for the city's notorious witch trials. But years later it became a very different city, one that produced America's first millionaire (still one of history's 75 wealthiest men) and boasted a maritime trade that made it the country's richest city. Westward expansion and the industrial revolution would eventually erode Salem's political importance, but it was a shocking murder and the scandal that followed which led at last to its fall from national prominence. Death of an Empire is a finely-written tale of a little-known but remarkably rich era of... Most readers know Salem only for the city's notorious witch trials.

A History of Westford, Massachusetts in Its Place Names The first settlers arrived in what is now Westford, Massachusetts, about 1664.

They brought names with them, they borrowed names from the Native Americans, and they invented names. What can we make of those place names today? When we examine Westford's historical and current place names closely, we find that they embody...

HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF BRISTOL GRAFTON COUNTY NEW HAMPSHIRE Volume 1
ISBN: 9781461110927 / Angielski / Miękka / 732 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. -INTRODUCTION- The History of Bristol is here presented with no apology for its appearance. It was called into being by the conviction that it ought to be. This conviction first took shape in June, 1879. At that time the building at the corner of Central square and Spring street was being remodeled, and a brick was discovered in the chimney marked "1795." This was thought to be the date when the building was erected. To gather some light on this point, we sought an interview with two venerable residents of the village, Mrs. Solomon Cavis and Miss Jane Bartlett, and listened with great...

Gateway to Vacationland: The Making of Portland, Maine
ISBN: 9781558499096 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Situated on a peninsula jutting into picturesque Casco Bay, Portland has long been admired for its geographical setting -- the "beautiful city by the sea," as native son Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called it. At the same time, Portland's deep, ice-free port has made it an ideal site for the development of coastal commerce and industry. Much of the city's history, John F. Bauman shows, has been defined by the effort to reconcile the competing interests generated by these attributes -- to balance the imperatives of economic growth with a desire to preserve Portland's natural beauty. Caught... Situated on a peninsula jutting into picturesque Casco Bay, Portland has long been admired for its geographical setting -- the "beautiful city by t... |
