Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canton and Collinsville lie fourteen miles west of the state capital, Hartford, along the Farmington River in the scenic Farmington Valley. Incorporated in 1806, the town has grown from a farming community to a factory town built around the Collins Company, worldrenowned manufacturer of axes and edge tools from 1826 to 1966. The closing of the Collins Company brought a new era of change and growth to a suburban community of unique character and charm. Collinsville is internationally recognized as one of the best preserved nineteenth-century mill villages and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Canton and Collinsville is a hundred-year panorama of Victorian life and its aftermath, with glimpses into local lives and events from 1866 through 1966. Special sections are devoted to never-before-published photographs of the Collins Company and the devastating flood of 1955. Also portrayed are the 1906 Canton centennial celebration, the building of the Nepaug Reservoir Dam, CantonA[a¬A's railroads, and historic homes and landmarks, including churches, schools, and local businesses of the Collinsville Historic District and Canton. Outstanding citizens, such as Congressional Medal of Honor winner William Edgar Simonds, are featured in Canton and Collinsville.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Winding through the little back roads of Canton, Connecticut, one thinks, "Oh, how lovely and quaint!" The area is right out of a Norman Rockwell painting, nestled all snug against the Farmington River. After all, Collinsville (the village section of Canton) was voted as one of "America's 10 Coolest Small Towns" by Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel Magazine in 2007. But hold on. Things aren't always as they seem. Behind those folksy kitchen curtains and up those rickety stairs onto porches with lazy rocking chairs lurk mischievous, pesky, and downright shenanigan-seeking scoundrels of mayhem and mishap. And no, those are not the current residents. I'm referring to the former residents who, for one reason or another, find a sweet attachment to their prior homes and, much to the chagrin of the current residents, refuse to vacate the premises. In these pages, you will find stories of apparitions, vanishing objects, uncomfortable noises, and more as told by the property owners, tenants, and business owners themselves. Buckle up and get ready for potentially changing the way you see, hear, and experience your own home! You never know what may be lurking right next to you"--Back cover.

Download or read book Rum and Axes written by Janet Siskind and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Janet Siskind goes back to the beginnings of industrial capitalism in the United States to better understand the formation of the country's capitalist culture. She studies the papers and letters of three generations of the Watkinson family. The stories of their lives demonstrate how merchants amassed the capital to become industrial entrepreneurs, organized factories and private corporations, and constructed philanthropic and cultural institutions. The author traces how "upper-class work," the everyday tasks of organizing and maintaining trade or a system of production, shaped the family's experience and New England's culture. The result is an intimate story of social class and capitalism.The reader comes to know several members of this enterprising family, who emigrated from England in 1795. The young women married merchants; their brothers prospered as merchants in Connecticut's West Indian trade. The author shows how their account books, which balanced the imports of rum with the exports of horses, obscured the system of slavery that created their wealth.After the War of 1812, the Watkinsons and their nephews the Collinses turned from trade to manufacturing textiles and axes. Their letters paint a vivid picture of the difficult process of shaping farmers' sons into a disciplined workforce and entrepreneurs into industrial and financial capitalists. Siskind skillfully blends social history and cultural anthropology to provide context for the engaging narrative of the Watkinsons' lives.

Download or read book Four Perfect Pebbles written by Lila Perl and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twentieth-anniversary edition of Marion Blumenthal Lazan’s acclaimed Holocaust memoir features new material by the author, a reading group guide, a map, and additional photographs. “The writing is direct, devastating, with no rhetoric or exploitation. The truth is in what’s said and in what is left out.”—ALA Booklist (starred review) Marion Blumenthal Lazan’s unforgettable and acclaimed memoir recalls the devastating years that shaped her childhood. Following Hitler’s rise to power, the Blumenthal family—father, mother, Marion, and her brother, Albert—were trapped in Nazi Germany. They managed eventually to get to Holland, but soon thereafter it was occupied by the Nazis. For the next six and a half years the Blumenthals were forced to live in refugee, transit, and prison camps, including Westerbork in Holland and Bergen-Belsen in Germany, before finally making it to the United States. Their story is one of horror and hardship, but it is also a story of courage, hope, and the will to survive. Four Perfect Pebbles features forty archival photographs, including several new to this edition, an epilogue, a bibliography, a map, a reading group guide, an index, and a new afterword by the author. First published in 1996, the book was an ALA Notable Book, an ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers, and IRA Young Adults’ Choice, and a Notable Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies, and the recipient of many other honors. “A harrowing and often moving account.”—School Library Journal
