Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harman Blennerhassett (1765-1831) was an Englishman of means who came to America in 1796 and settled on an island in the Ohio River where he built an elaborate mansion. He met Aaron Burr in 1805, and his island home soon became a center for Burr's separatist plans to conquer the territory of the United States south of the Ohio River, to be financed with the backing of Blennerhassett. Nothing came of the conspiracy, and the suspicious Virginia militia raided and looted the island in December of 1806. Both men were eventually tried for treason. Never has an American trial produced such an impressive set of key players: The defendant - Aaron Burr, founding father, vice president, and slayer of Alexander Hamilton in their famous duel three years earlier; The trial judge - John Marshall, chief justice of the United States Supreme court (and the most important justice in history); The force behind the prosecution - Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence and President of the United States; Defense attorneys - Edmund Randolph and Luther Martin, both delegates to the constitutional convention and among the most prominent men of the day; Prosecutors - Charles Lee, former attorney general, and William Wirt, future presidential candidate.
Download or read book Memoirs of the Early Pioneer Settlers of Ohio written by S. P. Hildreth and published by Badgley Publishing Company. This book was released on 2011-06-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the leadership of Rufus Putnam, 48 men, departed New England during the severe winter of 1787/88 and made their way west through the mountains to Sumrill's Ferry on the Youghiogheny River in Pennsylvania. There they spent the winter building two huge flatboats and three canoes to take them down the Youghiogheny to the Monongahela River and then down the Ohio River to their destination, a point of land at the mouth of the Muskingum River. Here, these pioneers would establish the first settlement in the territory northwest of the Ohio River and name it Marietta. Among these early pioneers, who opened the door to western settlement of the United States, were many heroic men and officers of the American Revolution. George Washington said, "I know many of the settlers personally, and there never were men better calculated to promote the welfare of such a community." General Lafayette, the Frenchman who fought alongside the colonists during their struggle for independence said, "I knew them well. I saw them fighting for their country. They were the bravest of the brave. Better men never lived." This book contains the true stories of these great men and other pioneers who withstood Indian Warfare, starvation, sickness, death and deprivation to establish themselves in the wilderness of the early American frontier and begin the westward expansion of the greatest nation on earth.

Download or read book Sterling A Brown s A Negro Looks at the South written by Sterling A. Brown and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-02-03 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using oral history and the printed word, Sterling A. Brown set out during the Second World War to capture the response of African Americans, primarily living in the South, to America's involvement in the war and how it affected them. These responses, brought together in extended, non-fiction essays of many different types, illustrate the diversity of opinions in the Black South about the war and the war period in America. For nearly sixty years, the excerpts that were never published languished in Brown's manuscript collection at Howard University. Now, for the first time, all of the completed pieces of unpublished writings are combined with the few published sections into the book that Brown envisioned. The legacy Brown left us is not only a superb portrait of the way in which African Americans of the mid-century talked and lived; he also provided a methodology that oral and written historians will find extremely useful. This is clearly a document from another time, as its now outdated title reminds us, but it reveals a world that still informs our sense of ourselves as a nation. In fact, it is an unforgettable history, which Brown has cast in a bright, elucidating new light.

Download or read book Architecture and Town Planning in Colonial North America written by James D. Kornwolf and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incorporating more than 3,000 illustrations, Kornwolf's work conveys the full range of the colonial encounter with the continent's geography, from the high forms of architecture through formal landscape design and town planning. From these pages emerge the fine arts of environmental design, an understanding of the political and economic events that helped to determine settlement in North America, an appreciation of the various architectural and landscape forms that the settlers created, and an awareness of the diversity of the continent's geography and its peoples. Considering the humblest buildings along with the mansions of the wealthy and powerful, public buildings, forts, and churches, Kornwolf captures the true dynamism and diversity of colonial communities - their rivalries and frictions, their outlooks and attitudes - as they extended their hold on the land.
