Fircrest
ISBN: 9781531678098 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Fircrest was ready and waiting when America exploded into the modern era following World War II. In 1906, the creative energy of Edward "Major" Bowes, of Amateur Hour fame, combined with the engineering brilliance of Mat R. Thompson to create the quintessential American suburb. Anticipating America's love affair with the automobile, they designed a modern "suburban park" with wide streets that curved with the contours of the land. Brisk initial sales faded, and the development, Regents Park, struggled. But the people of "the Park" persevered. In 1925, the Fircrest Golf Club was started, and...

Olympic Hot Springs
ISBN: 9781531674991 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Olympic Hot Springs served as a destination resort in the Olympic Mountains near Port Angeles, Washington, for 60 years. Andrew Jacobsen is considered the first to discover the springs, nestled 2,100 feet up in the Elwha River valley, in 1892. Today, individuals still hike up the Elwha trail to soak in the earthen pools of mineral water, unaware that years ago it was home to a legendary resort. While on a hunting trip in 1907, Billy Everett, "Slim" Farrell, and Charlie Anderson rediscovered the springs and began work developing the site of Olympic Hot Springs, hewing logs into wood baths...

Cape Ann Granite
ISBN: 9781531674700 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The granite industry began on Cape Ann with the first sale of a piece of Rockport granite, for use as a millstone, to a farmer in Newburyport in 1800. The industry would grow to include more than 60 quarries and operations around the cape, becoming the second-largest economic force in the area behind fishing. Hundreds were employed as quarrymen, stonecutters, paving cutters, and finishers. Cape Ann was particularly well fitted for the pursuit of granite as its rocky hills and shores afforded a comparatively inexhaustible source of supply, and its splendid shipping facilities gave the...

It was founded by dissidents of the Harmony Society in 1832. Their New Philadelphia Society lasted less than two years, but many settlers stayed and laid the foundation for the community they named Phillipsburg. In 1892, the name of the town was changed to Monaca in honor of the Iroquois chief Monacatootha.

Thetford
ISBN: 9781531674151 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Soon after Thetford was chartered in 1761, settlers from southern New England arrived and began transforming the forestland into a community. They took advantage of both the Connecticut River and the Ompompanoosuc River to forge a lively and self-sustaining collection of mill villages within the town. The railroad arrived in 1848, enabling three depot villages to blossom. Thetford Hill, with neither mills nor transportation, became home to the renowned Thetford Academy, the first coeducational secondary school in Vermont. Thetfords mill-based commerce ebbed significantly by 1900, but tourism...

Wilton
ISBN: 9781531673772 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wilton was incorporated in 1803, when it was a mostly self-sufficient agricultural community. Manufacturing was the backbone of town even before it was fully incorporated and would continue to be until the late 20th century. Early industrial success can be attributed to Wilson Stream, which provided waterpower for Wilton's mills. The names of Bass, Butterfield, Furnel, Walker, Robbins, and Goodspeed would become well known in Wilton as early entrepreneurs. George Henry Bass entered the shoe manufacturing business in 1876 and started his first shoe shop in 1879. G.H. Bass & Co. went on to...

Around Mount Washington
ISBN: 9781531672249 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of Baltimores first suburbs, Mount Washington was originally part of a 17th-century land grant owned by Edward Stevenson. The hilly terrain provided a sense of privacy and isolation from the commerce of downtown Baltimore, and the cool summer breezes and cleaner air attracted city dwellers. With the advent of rail transportation, the village of Mount Washington evolved into a summer retreat in the mid-1800s. Shortly thereafter, it blossomed into an independent community of year-round residents who love the rural setting but may enjoy the urban amenities of downtown just minutes away. The...

Rising out of the prairie, the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming had long been rumored to have promising quantities of gold. Sacred to the Lakota, the Black Hills was part of the land reserved for them in the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868. However, the tide of prospectors seeking their fortune in the Black Hills was difficult to stem. Members of the 1874 Custer expedition, lead by Gen. George Armstrong Custer, found gold. In 1875, scientists Henry Newton and Walter Jenney conducted an expedition and confirmed the rumors. By 1876, the trickle of prospectors and settlers coming to the Black...

Canton
ISBN: 9781531671075 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Chartered on December 24, 1833, Canton was the county seat of the fledging Cherokee County, which the Georgia Legislature created two years earlier from Cherokee Indian Territory. Situated in a wide curve of the Etowah River, Canton was ideally located to become the economic, social, and educational center of the region. The earliest white settlers had already started arriving in the area, lured by the discovery of gold, state lotteries offering free land, and abundant natural resources. Early residents like William Grisham, Judge Joseph Donaldson, and John P. Brooke quickly established...

Trimble County
ISBN: 9781531670900 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1837, Trimble County became Kentuckys 86th county, created from portions of Gallatin, Henry, and Oldham Counties. It was named for Virginia native Robert Trimble, a Kentucky attorney and state legislator who was nominated to the US Supreme Court by Pres. John Quincy Adams in 1826. In 1838, an eastern portion of Trimble County was taken to create Carroll County; the two eventually became archrivals in high school sports. Bedford, the county seat, was founded in 1816, centrally located at the junction of US Highway 42, once the regions main thoroughfare before Interstate 71 was built, and US...

Neenah
ISBN: 9781531670610 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Neenah rests in the heart of the Fox Valley, positioned between Appleton and Oshkosh. The city sits at the junction of Lake Winnebago and the Fox River, which has always been central to its draw for both recreation and business. Flour and paper milling utilized the river's powerful flow and brought Neenah's biggest booms. The successes of paper mills such as Neenah Paper, which opened in 1866, and the Kimberly-Clark Corporation, which opened in 1872, led to the natural development of the "Paper City" nickname. Today, industry continues to flourish in Neenah. The region has become a hub for...

Dublin
ISBN: 9781531670450 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Throughout history, the city of Dublins rich, verdant land has attracted settlers and visitors alike. Native Americans first inhabited the area in the days before the US government gave Continental Army soldiers property along the banks of the Scioto River as payment for service in the Revolutionary War. Platted as a village in 1810, Dublins early settlers included John Sells, who offered surveyor John Shields the privilege of naming the new settlement. Legend has it that the lush vegetation prompted Shields to bestow the name of his homeland: Dublin, Ireland. Dublin, Ohio, would remain a...
