Download or read book The Swamps of Oswego County N Y And Their Flora Classic Reprint written by Willard Winfield Rowlee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Swamps of Oswego County, N. Y., And Their Flora I have selected three swamps from the score or more within the limits of the county, not because they illustrate better than others the observations to be recorded, but rather because they illustrate swamps in different stages of maturity. I have already hinted at what is meant by the maturity of a swamp. The wooded swamps with shallow accumulations of vegetable material, sometimes called muck, matured early in the post glacial history of the region. Some are just coming to matur ity, examples of which have already been cited, and there are still others which are maturing, but will still require many years for their completion. For want of a better term I have used the word swamp in an extended sense to indicate the whole depression, whether it be covered with water, woods or moor.

Download or read book The Fabulous History of the Dismal Swamp Company written by Charles Royster and published by Knopf. This book was released on 1999 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this absorbing narrative Charles Royster traces the rise and fall of the eighteenth-century transatlantic culture that was built on the insatiable demand in Europe for Virginia tobacco and the equally insatiable American demand for European manufactured goods. Moving from the plantations of Virginia and Antigua to the warehouses of London and Glasgow, from the Gold Coast of Africa to the valleys of the Allegheny Mountains, from the iron furnaces of southern Wales to the subscribers' room of Lloyd's of London, Professor Royster gives us the story of the Dismal Swamp Company, a fantastically delusional enterprise that proposed draining and developing a vast morass along the Virginia-North Carolina border. Examining the interconnected lives of the company's partners, Royster reveals a colonial order built on a system of cronyism, conspicuous consumption, and debt that seems hauntingly familiar. He writes about the many schemers and dreamers (including George Washington, Robert "King" Carter, two William Byrds, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and Robert Morris) who failed to amass their desired fortunes, and a few realists (Samuel Gist, Dr. Thomas Walker, and Anthony Bacon) who succeeded, but at the dire expense of others. And we see the breakdown of this culture and the transition to a more democratic, though similar, system after the Revolution. Throughout Royster's narrative we seepossessors possessed by their possessions, slaveholders possessed by slavery, and heirs possessed by litigation. Connecting all their stories are their unceasing efforts to make something substantial out of the insubstantial--chief among them the almost unbelievable delusion that fortunes could bemade from the Dismal Swamp.

Download or read book The Swamp written by Michael Grunwald and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-10-31 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Everglades was once reviled as a liquid wasteland, and Americans dreamed of draining it. Now it is revered as a national treasure, and Americans have launched the largest environmental project in history to try to save it. The Swamp is the stunning story of the destruction and possible resurrection of the Everglades, the saga of man's abuse of nature in southern Florida and his unprecedented efforts to make amends. Michael Grunwald, a prize-winning national reporter for The Washington Post, takes readers on a riveting journey from the Ice Ages to the present, illuminating the natural, social and political history of one of America's most beguiling but least understood patches of land. The Everglades was America's last frontier, a wild country long after the West was won. Grunwald chronicles how a series of visionaries tried to drain and "reclaim" it, and how Mother Nature refused to bend to their will; in the most harrowing tale, a 1928 hurricane drowned 2,500 people in the Everglades. But the Army Corps of Engineers finally tamed the beast with levees and canals, converting half the Everglades into sprawling suburbs and sugar plantations. And though the southern Everglades was preserved as a national park, it soon deteriorated into an ecological mess. The River of Grass stopped flowing, and 90 percent of its wading birds vanished. Now America wants its swamp back. Grunwald shows how a new breed of visionaries transformed Everglades politics, producing the $8 billion rescue plan. That plan is already the blueprint for a new worldwide era of ecosystem restoration. And this book is a cautionary tale for that era. Through gripping narrative and dogged reporting, Grunwald shows how the Everglades is still threatened by the same hubris, greed and well-intentioned folly that led to its decline.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preliminary Report on Sea-Coast Swamps of the Eastern United StatesAmong the most interesting results of the interaction of the sea and land are the swamps formed along the ocean shore. Such swamp de posits are found along most coasts. Although the special considerations of this report concern only the swamps of the New England and the more northerly portions of the American coast, it will be desirable to consider the outlines of the history of all sea-shore swamps, at least to the extent necessary to make the way clear to our study of the more limited field.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
