Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You will laugh, cry, and wonder how it was possible. Braddock Heights is a compilation of stories and emotions. The author experienced life as a child and teen unlike most. When he was eight years old, his only friends were hobos and prostitutes. He battled the Catholic school system as a youth and learned on-the-job training in sex education. As a teen, he defied authority, walked the thin line between right and wrong, and challenged nature. Above it all, he loved life. While serving with the U.S. Army in Germany, he won two championships playing basketball, assisted in promoting German-American relations, traveled throughout Europe writing stories for U.S. military newspapers, and befriended a young penniless Mormon who was hitchhiking across Europe. Continuing his love for “the game,” Barend, at the age of seventy-three, still competes in basketball in state, national, and international tournaments. In 2006, 2007, 2010, and 2011, he was a member of a New York team that won the gold in the New York Empire Games. He is a cancer survivor.

Download or read book Middletown Valley written by Robert P. Savitt and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The towns of Maryland's Middletown Valley bear the imprints of some of the most telling events in early American history: the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and the building of America's first national road. Andrew Jackson, the nation's seventh president, described the Middletown Valley as "one of the most favored and delightful spots on earth." The largest town, picturesque Middletown, was the scene of intense activity during the Civil War. Mountaintop Braddock Heights became a resort "getaway" after the construction of a trolley line in 1896. Myersville was settled in the 1700s by industrious immigrants who set up a bustling community of farmers, craftsmen, and merchants. Wolfsville, an appealing old settlement near the Mason-Dixon Line, was occupied by Confederate forces in 1864. The charming little village of Burkittsville sits beneath a mountain that boasts the world's only monument to fallen war correspondents. Using images gathered from local families, historical societies, and libraries, Middletown Valley explores the unique history and daily lives of the people who have lived and worked in this magical valley.
Download or read book Maryland s Amusement Parks written by Jason Rhodes and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Ferris wheels to roller coasters to tunnels of love, everyone has a favorite amusement park memory. For nearly 130 years, many of those memories have been made at Maryland's amusement parks. Today, only five exist, but throughout history, nearly three dozen have been part of Maryland's landscape. Images of America: Maryland's Amusement Parks offers a glimpse of those parks and how they helped millions quench their thirst for recreation. Maryland's first recorded amusement park, Cabin John Park in Montgomery County, opened in 1876, serving as a training ground for such industry luminaries as Scenic Railway and roller coaster pioneer L.A. Thompson and carousel carver Gustav Dentzel. More than a century later, Maryland's oldest park, Trimper's Rides and Amusements in Ocean City, is a virtual museum of amusement park history with operating rides dating to 1902. Some favorite parks, including Glen Echo, Gwynn Oak, Pen Mar, Tolchester Beach, and The Enchanted Forest, did not last as long, but their memories live on through more than 200 images in this volume.
