Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Kentucky and Kentuckians: The Leaders and Representative Men in Commerce, Industry Haley P. Cartwright was the fifth in order of birth of the sons and daughters born to his parents. He spent his early life on the paternal farm, partook of the duties and pleasures peculiar to the lot of the farmer's lad, and until the age of sixteen years attended the public schools. He subsequently entered the University of Tennessee at Nashville and was there prepared for his profession. His practice and active work have been of forty years' duration in Warren county, Kentucky. For some period of time he belonged to the faculty of his alma mater where he filled the chair of Physical Diagnosis. He is not one of those content to "let well enough alone," but has taken no small amount of post graduate work, some of his later studies having been pursued under the most noted physicians of the day. Dr. Cartwright was married December 16, 1874, to Miss Jennie R. Simmons, daughter of Cyrus Simmons of Warren county, Kentucky. To their union have been born the following children: Fred D., a graduate physician practicing with his father; Hallie Cartwright, now Mrs. Henry Winston Mosby, of Helena, Arkansas; Percy Cartwright, a civil engineer, engaged in irrigation work; and Alice, who is at home. Dr. Cartwright is actively identified with those organizations having particular bearing upon his profession, these being the American Medical Association; the State Medical Association; and the Warren County Medical Association. His lay affiliations are with the Masonic order, in which he is of the Knights Templars. He is a member of the Christian church and in his political convictions is independent, believing that the best man and the best measure should far outweigh mere partisanship with the voter. He was at one time a member of the State Board of Medical Examiners and enjoys some prominence among his professional brethren the country over as a convincing and discriminating contributor to medical journals, his studious inclinations keeping him well abreast of the times and the latest results of investigation. Joseph S. Claybrooke. - Known as one of the representative business men of the younger generation Mr. Claybrooke is one of the interested principals in the Robertson-Claybrooke Company, a leading mercantile concern of Washington county, with a well equipped establishment in the thriving little city of Springfield. The various departments of the establishment are stocked with select lines of goods and the store controls a large and appreciative patronage, drawing the same from the fine section of country normally tributary to Springfield. Mr. Claybrooke is a representative of one of the sterling pioneer families of Washington county and concerning the genealogy adequate record appears in the sketch of his brother, William D. Claybrooke, on other pages of this work. Joseph S. Claybrooke was born near East Texas, Washington county, on the nth of March, 1874, and in the graded schools of the village mentioned he secured his early educational discipline. Upon leaving school he located in Springfield where, in 1892, he entered the employ of the firm of McCord Robertson as a clerk in their general store. He was thus engaged until 1897, when he became a member of the mercantile establishment of Grundy, Claybrooke & McIntire. This alliance continued until 1905, when he withdrew from the firm and removed to the city of Louisville, where he became one of the interested principals in the wholesale clothing concern of the Fall City Clothing Company, of which he is still a stockholder and with whose active management he was identified until 1907, when he returned to Springfield and effected the organization of the Robertson-Claybrooke Company, which is incorporated with a capital stock of twenty-five thousand dollars and which carries full lines of dry-goods, men's and women's clothing, shoes, hats, carpe...

Download or read book A History of Appalachia written by Richard B. Drake and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2003-09-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Drake has skillfully woven together the various strands of the Appalachian experience into a sweeping whole. Touching upon folk traditions, health care, the environment, higher education, the role of blacks and women, and much more, Drake offers a compelling social history of a unique American region. The Appalachian region, extending from Alabama in the South up to the Allegheny highlands of Pennsylvania, has historically been characterized by its largely rural populations, rich natural resources that have fueled industry in other parts of the country, and the strong and wild, undeveloped land. The rugged geography of the region allowed Native American societies, especially the Cherokee, to flourish. Early white settlers tended to favor a self-sufficient approach to farming, contrary to the land grabbing and plantation building going on elsewhere in the South. The growth of a market economy and competition from other agricultural areas of the country sparked an economic decline of the region's rural population at least as early as 1830. The Civil War and the sometimes hostile legislation of Reconstruction made life even more difficult for rural Appalachians. Recent history of the region is marked by the corporate exploitation of resources. Regional oil, gas, and coal had attracted some industry even before the Civil War, but the postwar years saw an immense expansion of American industry, nearly all of which relied heavily on Appalachian fossil fuels, particularly coal. What was initially a boon to the region eventually brought financial disaster to many mountain people as unsafe working conditions and strip mining ravaged the land and its inhabitants. A History of Appalachia also examines pockets of urbanization in Appalachia. Chemical, textile, and other industries have encouraged the development of urban areas. At the same time, radio, television, and the internet provide residents direct links to cultures from all over the world. The author looks at the process of urbanization as it belies commonly held notions about the region's rural character.

Download or read book American Military History Volume 1 written by Army Center of Military History and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-05 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.

Download or read book A Patriot s History of the United States written by Larry Schweikart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-12-29 with total page 1373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
