Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few years ago, Carriage Hills resident Bob Leavitt gazed across the Southern Estes Valley from the top of Lily Mountain and wondered how all this development got started (especially Carriage Hills). Then one day, a local historian told Bob, "I think there was an early ranch in the Southern Estes Valley." Intrigued, subsequent research by Bob confirmed that there was indeed an early ranch (the second one in the Estes Valley) and identified the owner as a man named James McLaughlin. Exactly where was it located, and what became of the ranch and its owner? To answer these and other questions, Bob spent several years researching the history of the Southern Estes Valley. Follow his journey as he brings to light fascinating untold stories of the early settlement and subsequent development of the Southern Estes Valley. Most of Carriage Hills was once owned by the Earl of Dunraven as part of his famous land grab in the Estes Valley. The land passed through several owners until it was finally developed as the Carriage Hills subdivision. As Carriage Hills grew to several hundred homes, a fierce battle erupted over the proposed annexation by the Town of Estes Park. Though annexation was ultimately rejected, it involved issues that still resonate today whenever annexation is discussed. The second half of this book details the growth of Carriage Hills and nearby subdivisions from the 1960s to today and includes comments and photos from longtime residents. Who were the first developers in Carriage Hills? When and where were the first homes built? What challenges did the residents face? These and other questions are answered in the second half of the book.

Download or read book Violence and Culture in the Antebellum South written by Dickson D. Bruce and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative book draws from a variety of sources—literature, politics, folklore, social history—to attempt to set Southern beliefs about violence in a cultural context. According to Dickson D. Bruce, the control of violence was a central concern of antebellum Southerners. Using contemporary sources, Bruce describes Southerners’ attitudes as illustrated in their duels, hunting, and the rhetoric of their politicians. He views antebellum Southerners as pessimistic and deeply distrustful of social relationships and demonstrates how this world view impelled their reliance on formal controls to regularize human interaction. The attitudes toward violence of masters, slaves, and “plain-folk”—the three major social groups of the period—are differentiated, and letters and family papers are used to illustrate how Southern child-rearing practices contributed to attitudes toward violence in the region. The final chapter treats Edgar Allan Poe as a writer who epitomized the attitudes of many Southerners before the Civil War.

Download or read book Albert Gore Sr written by Anthony J. Badger and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In chronicling the life and career of Albert Gore, Sr., historian Anthony J. Badger seeks not just to explore the successes and failures of an important political figure who spent more than three decades in the national eye—and whose son would become Vice President of the United States—but also to explain the dramatic changes in the South that led to national political realignment. Born on a small farm in the hills of Tennessee, Gore served in Congress from 1938 to 1970, first in the House of Representatives and then in the Senate. During that time, the United States became a global superpower and the South a two party desegregated region. Gore, whom Badger describes as a policy-oriented liberal, saw the federal government as the answer to the South's problems. He held a resilient faith, according to Badger, in the federal government to regulate wages and prices in World War II, to further social welfare through the New Deal and the Great Society, and to promote economic growth and transform the infrastructure of the South. Gore worked to make Tennessee the "atomic capital" of the nation and to protect the Tennessee Valley Authority, while at the same time cosponsoring legislation to create the national highway system. He was more cautious in his approach to civil rights; though bolder than his moderate Southern peers, he struggled to adjust to the shifting political ground of the 1960s. His career was defined by his relationship with Lyndon Johnson, whose Vietnam policies Gore bitterly opposed. The injection of Christian perspectives into the state's politics ultimately distanced Gore's worldview from that of his constituents. Altogether, Gore's political rise and fall, Badger argues, illuminates the significance of race, religion, and class in the creation of the modern South.
