Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Trip to Europe and Facts Gleaned on the Way: Observations, Narratives and General Notes of Travel as Viewed and Given by a Primitive Pennsylvania Farmer; Also a Collection of Numerous Interesting Facts Relative to the Places and Countries Visited During the summer of 1908, my desire was at last gratified, in that I was able to leave on my previously pro posed European trip. This intended trip had been stir ring my mind for a number of years previous to my de parture. On different occasions I made partial arrange ments to leave, but it seemed there were always obstacles in the way. At last, on a bright and starry September evening, I had my luggage all packed and boarded an eastbound train, which sped along at a rapid gait for New York-city. I must admit I felt a sort Of a heavy lump in my throat, which was rather hard to remove, as I thought of the friendly, familiar faces and the dear parents, brothers andi sisters, whom I was leaving behind, and facing a land be yond the wide sea, where not a single soul was personally familiar to me. It was with a two-fold sadness I left home on this identical evening. Two of my nephews, bright little boys, two and three years of age, were lying in their death shrouds; both died the same day and were laid side by side in one coffin. To many it may seem strange to leave nu der such circumstances, but I had previously purchased my passage ticket, so I was obliged to either lose the cost of the ticket or go before the day of the funeral, and the latter w'as chosen.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ... GENERAL PLAN OF GERMAM FARM BUILDINGS. 1. Families quarters. 2. Hall. 3. Main entrance. 4. Rear. 5. Horse stables. t5 and 7. Grain barns. 8. Cow stables. 9. "Schnaps" brewery. 10. Either hog or sheep pens and probably a corner for poultry. 11. Other half of wing for implements with entire front side open. 12. Place for light wagons and the "kutche" (a kind of light German coach.) On inquiry I was informed the cost of erecting one of these substantial buildings for a farm of a hundred hectares (a hectare is nearly two and one-half acres), is from 40,000 to 50,000 marks (about 10,000 to $12,000). This sounds rather steep in comparing the cost with the average American farm buildings, but in the end the former are the cheapest for all, as they are built to stand for many centuries to come, while the American buildings will often last only for several generations. From these facts we may not wonder why the German farmers are merely rental farmers and do not own the farm themselves. The buildings are erected in accordance to the size of the farm, consequently the buildings on smaller farms cost less. A number of farms were visited in which these figures would not near cover the expense of building. One farm, especially, I remember whose buildings were erected only a few centuries a;'o, cost at least 75,000 marks. The buildings of this big farm are built in such a style as to form an entire square. The yard which they enclose, to my estimation, is over one-half acre in area. The space taken up with-building and all (including the yard mentioned) comprises an acre or more. By taking into consideration' the dimension of the yard just described, it will give you a clear conception as to the immensity in size of these larue farm dwellings....

Download or read book A History of the Amish written by Steven M. Nolt and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Amish, one of America’s most intriguingly private, unique, and often misunderstood religious communities, have survived for three hundred years! How has that happened? While much has been written on the Amish, little has been revealed about their history. This book brings together in one volume a thorough history of the Amish people. From their beginnings in Europe through their settlement in North America, the Amish have struggled to maintain their beliefs and traditions in often hostile settings. Now updated, the book gives an in-depth look at how the modern Amish church continues to grow and change. It covers recent developments in new Amish settlements, the community’s conflict and negotiation with government, the Nickel Mines school shooting, and the media’s constant fascination with this religious people, from reality TV shows to romance novels. Authoritative, thorough, and interestingly written, A History of the Amish presents the deep and rich heritage of the Amish people with dozens of illustrations and updated statistics. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Download or read book Crossing New Europe written by Ewa Mazierska and published by Wallflower Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although a long-established and influential genre, this is the first comprehensive study of the European road cinema. Crossing New Europe investigates this tradition, its relationship with the American road movie and its aesthetic forms. This movement examines such crucial issues as individual and national identity crises, and phenomena such as displacement, diaspora, exile, migration, nomadism, and tourism in postmodern, post-Berlin Wall Europe. Drawing on the work of Said, Hall, Shields, Urry, Bauman, Deleuze and Guattari and other critical theorists, Crossing New Europe adopts a broad interpretation of "Europe" and discusses directors and films who have long been associated with the road movie, such as Wim Wenders (Alice in the Cities, Lisbon Story) and Aki Kaurismäki (Leningrad Cowboys Go America!), and other more recent contributions such as Run Lola Run, Dear Diary and The Last Resort.
Download or read book Translating a Tradition written by Ira Robinson and published by Academic Studies PRess. This book was released on 2008 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divided into three sections, this work explains how the concepts and practices of traditional European Judaism were adapted to North American culture beginning in the late nineteenth century. Part I focuses on the ideas and activities of Cyrus Adler (1863-1940), one of the most prominent leaders of the traditionalist Jewish community in the United States in his era. The issues in these essays include the origins of American Jewish history as a field of study, the Kehilla experiments of the early twentieth century, and the relationship between the Jewish Theological Seminary and Orthodox Judaism. Part II deals with the beginnings of Hasidic Judaism in North America prior to the Second World War. It also includes several studies investigating the shaping of the worldview of Orthodox Judaism in contemporary North America. Part III examines the issue of contemporary American Jewish attitudes toward evolution and intelligent design.
