Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Historical, Descriptive and Commercial Directory of Owyhee County, Idaho: January 1898 The state of Idaho is a portion of that vast territory lying west of the Mississippi river which was acquired by purchase from France, during the administration of President Jefferson, in 1803. In the spring of 1804 an expedition in charge of Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark was organized under the auspices of the United States government, for the purpose of exploring the newly-acquired territory. The expedition started in May, 1804, and wintered on the Missouri river in what is now Montana. On September 11, 1805, they crossed the Bitter Root mountains, and nine days later reached a settlement of the Nez Perce Indians, on Clearwater river. After many days of severe privations and hardships they succeeded in reaching the mouth of the Columbia river on November 14, 1805, where they wintered, and left the following spring for St. Louis, which they reached in safety September, 1806. It is an undisputed fact that the first white man who trod the soil of Idaho was Captain William Clark. The territory being at that time only considered valuable for furs, several fur companies were organized, the first on the field being the Missouri Fur Company, who built Fort Henry, at the headwaters of the Snake river, but shortly afterwards abandoned it.

Download or read book A History of Gold Dredging in Idaho written by Clark C. Spence and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Gold Dredging in Idaho tells the story of a revolution in placer mining—and its subsequent impact on the state of Idaho—from its inception in the early 1880s until its demise in the early 1960s. Idaho was the nation’s fourth-leading producer of dredged gold after 1910 and therefore provides an excellent lens through which to observe the practice and history of gold dredging. Author Clark Spence focuses on the two most important types of dredges in the state—the bucket-line dredge and the dragline dredge—and describes their financing, operation, problems, and effect on the state and environment. These dredges made it possible to work ground previously deemed untouchable because bedrock where gold collected could now be reached. But they were also highly destructive to the environment. As these huge machines floated along, they dumped debris that harmed the streams and destroyed wildlife habitat, eventually prompting state regulations and federal restoration of some of the state’s crippled waterways. Providing a record of Idaho’s dredging history for the first time, this book is a significant contribution to the knowledge and understanding of Western mining, its technology, and its overall development as a major industry of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Mellon written by David Cannadine and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-06-02 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark work from one of the preeminent historians of our time: the first published biography of Andrew W. Mellon, the American colossus who bestrode the worlds of industry, government, and philanthropy, leaving his transformative stamp on each. Andrew Mellon, one of America’s greatest financiers, built a legendary personal fortune from banking to oil to aluminum manufacture, tracking America’s course to global economic supremacy. As treasury secretary under Presidents Harding, Coolidge, and finally Hoover, Mellon made the federal government run like a business–prefiguring the public official as CEO. He would be hailed as the architect of the Roaring Twenties, but, staying too long, would be blamed for the Great Depression, eventually to find himself a broken idol. Collecting art was his only nonprofessional gratification and his great gift to the American people, The National Gallery of Art, remains his most tangible legacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As with all great stories, the first book of this glorious trilogy ended with many unanswered questions. Will the former Indian Scout Joshua Hotah find his parents? Painfully naïve, does the youthful Priscilla Kimball appreciate that she could succumb to unsolicited debauchery at any time? What are the true intentions of the enigmatic sociopath Csongor Toth? Will the strange partners of business Tseng Longwei and Roshan Kuznetsov ever find their way to Silver City? Now a Lutheran Pastor, Manfred Herrmann has survived the Civil War—but can he survive his own dark nature? And consider the calamitous adventures of Gordania Sinclair, the singular heroine of this tale. Her father never imagined that he was sending his beloved daughter into a world of murder, deception, and peril when he gave her a final hug in Scotland. These and many other questions will be answered. But you are hereby forewarned: this second book will end with an act of unspeakable evil that will test even the most courageous heart.
Download or read book Hard Rock Epic written by Mark Wyman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1989-10-25 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The most comprehensive and interpretive study of the mining industry available to historians. . . . It is a book that will stand the test of time." -W. Turrentine Jackson, Technology and Culture "Mark Wyman's sympathetic account of the Western metal miners includes graphic details of their bitter struggle for unpaid wages, for industrial safety legislation, for corporate liability in the event of mine accidents and for workmen's compensation. . . . Throughout the book one finds the compassion and understanding that mark works in the best tradition of historical scholarship." -Milton Cantor, The Nation "Wyman has looked at miners in the larger context of American industrialization during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In doing so, he has produced a stimulating, informative account of how this group of workingmen responded to changes in the work place brought on by changes in technology, corporate capitalism, and the shifting labor forces of the day." -James E. Fell, Jr., Pacific Northwest Quarterly "Wyman's compassionate and thoughtful study is an important contribution to the social history of western mining. Hard Rock Epic is also a significant addition to the literature on the process of industrialization. It amply demonstrates that no group in the American West was so deeply affected by the Industrial Revolution as the hard rock miners." -Jeffrey K. Stine, The Midwest Review "Hard Rock Epic is both a descriptive and analytical study of the impact of technology on the life of metalliferous miners of the West. It is thoroughly researched, drawing heavily upon primary sources and the most relevant recent scholarship concerning the hardrock men. The study is judicious and balanced. . . . [and] fits well into the growing body of scholarship on Western metal mining. Historians of labor and the American West will find this volume instructive and definite contribution to their fields of study." -George C. Suggs, Jr., The American Historical Review
