Download or read book Northampton County written by Tom Badger and published by Arcadia Library Editions. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly after European colonists landed at Jamestown in 1607, they established a settlement in Northampton County. Settlers caught fish and shellfish in the shallow bays and creeks along the seaside and bayside and distilled salt from seawater to help preserve this bounty through the winter. Since 1608, Northampton has provided food for Virginia and the world. Fishing, crabbing, and clam aquaculture today are still an important part of the economic backbone of Northampton, but Northampton has been best known in recent years for land-based food production. The sandy soils of Northampton have always been productive, but when the railroad was built in 1884, it gave growers a method of getting produce to markets in a timely manner. So Northampton's history and culture have centered around food--gathering it, producing it, and shipping it--and the photographs in Images of America: Northampton County document this legacy.

This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Northampton County (Pennsylvania) And the Grand Valley of the Lehigh, Vol. 2 The original township of Bethlehem was erected in 1746. It embraced within its limits all of the area of Upper and Lower Nazareth townships, and the boroughs of Bethlehem, Freemansburg and Nazareth. Its present boundaries are: On the north, Lower Nazareth; on the'east, Palmer town ship; ou the south, the Lehigh river, separating it from Lower Saucon township; and on the west by Hanover township and a portion of Lehigh county. The township is watered by the Lehigh river, Monocacy creek, and several smaller streams that empty into the Lehigh; one of them was once called Nancy's Run, from an old colored fortune-teller who lived about a half-mile up the creek. The lands now embraced in the lower portion of the township were formerly known as Drylands, which were thought to be irreclaimable, arid and' barren, and deemed unfit for habitation; they are now, however, among the most productive of the county. This territory was a favorite place for the hunting and fishing ground of the Indians, and it was between Free mansburg and Bethlehem that their famous Minisink Path crossed the Lehigh river. Arrow - heads and stone pestles and even tomahawks have often been brought to light by the farmer's plough.

Download or read book New Directions in Local History Since Hoskins written by Christopher Dyer and published by Univ of Hertfordshire Press. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing the techniques developed by renowned local historian W. G. Hoskins in his landmark study published 50 years ago, "Local History in England," this book demonstrates how local history has evolved as a discipline over the last half century. Fifteen historians write about a variety of local history subjects that are significant in their own right but which also point to current trends in the field. They show how local historians use their sources systematically, from the nonverbal evidence of buildings to various types of electronic sources. All periods between the middle ages and the early twenty-first century are explored, covering many parts of England from Skye to the Kent coast and discussing topics that include social, economic, religious, legal, intellectual, and cultural history.
