ISBN: 9780295991313 / Angielski / Twarda / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A century ago Seattle was held hostage by its own waterfront. Competing railroad companies built a chaotic sprawl of railroad lines, docks, and warehouses along the shoreline of the great natural harbor of Elliott Bay, creating conditions so bad that visionary civic planner Virgil Bogue called the harbor side "a blot on the city and a menace to the lives of its people."

Boren's Block One
ISBN: 9781449906290 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Boren's Block One: A Sinking Ship is a tome of many tales, sharing stories about the evolution of the human condition as seen through the "eyes" of a small but troubled plot of land in downtown Seattle. Real estate is of course inanimate, but somehow this parcel's past has given it tragic life with the deeds and misdeeds of knowing and unknowing accomplices. It is in fact a uniquely Seattle story, but it need not be, because the same yarns were being spun into whole cloth across America and beyond at the time. Tales of migration, immigration, exclusion, internment and condemnation all collide...

Wicked Portland:: The Wild and Lusty Underworld of a Frontier Seaport Town
ISBN: 9781609495787 / Angielski / Miękka / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Tucked away in the northwestern frontier, Portland offered all the best vices: opium dreams, gambling, cheap prostitutes, and drunken brawling. In its early days, Portland was a combination rough-and-ready logging camp and gritty, hard-punching deep-water port town," and as a young city (established in the late 1840s) it developed an international reputation for lawlessness and violence. In the early 1900s, the British and French governments filed formal complaints about Portland to the US state department, and Congressional testimony from the time cites Portland as the worst place in the...

ISBN: 9780738596198 / Angielski / Miękka / 127 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The prolific journey of African Americans in Portland is rooted in the courageous determination of black pioneers to begin anew in an unfamiliar and often hostile territory. Amazingly, a small population of African Americans settled in Portland against a backdrop of exclusion laws that banned free blacks from settling in Oregon. At the end of the 19th century, new employment opportunities in Portland and growing antiblack sentiments elsewhere spurred the growth of Portland s African American community. Approximately 75 African American men were hired at the Portland Hotel, and the completion...
