Book excerpt: The Bissell Family Papers are housed in two archival boxes and arranged alphabetically by folder title. The papers include correspondence, diaries, indentures, newspaper clippings and stock certificates. The materials are derived from a variety of family members, but the primary contributors were William Semple Bissell (1822-1885), David Shields Bissell (1859-c.1939) and Leet Wilson Bissell. Their diaries make up the bulk of the collection. Their journals document many of their day to day activities of work, travel and recreation. The similarities in style between these men are quite apparent and appear that each passed on the journal entry technique from father to son spanning three generations. Some significant accounts include: William Semple's ten days of sorrow as he watched his wife slowly die from an unmentioned ailment in 1857; David's European vacation in 1904; and Leet Wilson's meticulous weather records. Other materials include various stock certificates from the Sewickley Valley Land Company, a myriad of failed utility companies and the Reliance Gold Mining and Milling Company. Perhaps the most significant materials include photographs taken at Johnstown, Pennsylvania one month after the great flood of 1889.

Download or read book Wellington Waterloo and the Fortunes of Peace 1814 1852 written by Rory Muir and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 761 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The preeminent Wellington biographer presents a fascinating reassessment of the Duke’s most famous victory and his political career after Waterloo. The Duke of Wellington’s momentous victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo was the culminating point of a brilliant military career. Yet Wellington’s achievements were far from over. He commanded the allied army of occupation in France to the end of 1818, returned home to a seat in Lord Liverpool’s cabinet, and became prime minister in 1828. He later served as a senior minister in Robert Peel’s government and remained Commander-in-Chief of the Army for a decade until his death in 1852. In this richly detailed work, the second and concluding volume of Rory Muir’s definitive biography, the author offers a substantial reassessment of Wellington’s significance as a politician and a nuanced view of the private man behind the legendary hero. Muir presents new insights into Wellington’s determination to keep peace at home and abroad, achieved by maintaining good relations with the Continental powers, resisting radical agitation, and granting political equality to the Catholics in Ireland. Countering one-dimensional image of Wellington as a national hero, Muir paints a nuanced portrait of a man whose austere public demeanor belied his entertaining, gossipy, generous, and unpretentious private self.
Download or read book The Genesis of Missouri written by William E. Foley and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2014-03-12 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the blending of diverse cultures in a land rich in resources and beauty is an extraordinary one. In this account, the pioneer hunters, trappers, and traders who roamed the Ozark hills and the boatmen who traded on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers take their place beside the small coterie of St. Louisans whose wealth and influence enabled them to dominate the region politically and economically. Especially appealing for many readers will be the attention Foley gives to common Missourians, to the status of women and blacks, and to Indian-white relations.
