Download or read book Franco Americans in the Champlain Valley written by Kimberly Lamay Licursi and Celine Racine Paquette, Foreword by and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read the story of French Canadian migration into the Vermont and New York with photographs of their vibrant heritage. French Canadian migration into the Champlain Valley in Vermont and New York from the 1850s onward changed the landscape of the Northeast in significant and often subtle ways. As a substantial part of the labor force, Franco-Americans harvested the lumber and mined the stone that built the North Country of both states. They built elaborately appointed churches that served as cornerstones of their communities and a testament to their deep religious faith. They were professionals who ran businesses on the main streets of the bucolic villages and towns around Lake Champlain, as well as farmers and mill workers who eked out a life toiling in the dirt and in textile factories. They formed innumerable fraternal organizations and societies like the Union St. Jean Baptiste and the Champlain Chevaliers to preserve their culture and religion, often in the face of discrimination. The photographs in this volume document their vibrant heritage.
Download or read book The War of 1812 in the Champlain Valley written by Allan S. Everest and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-26 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of marching men and clashing ships, of suffering, and of occasional heroic deeds. As in wars past, and for similar reasons, Lake Champlain and the region surrounding Lower Canada, Vermont, and Upstate New York became one of the major theaters of military action. For two and a half years, people in the region saw armies raised, defeated, and disbanded. They witnessed their own militia repeatedly called out to protect the border areas and to serve as adjuncts to regular army units. Despite a series of disheartening military reverses, loss of life, and destruction of property, civilians maintained a remarkable degree of resilience. They fled if battle threatened but soon returned to pick up the threads of their lives. Everest’s story shows us a war in microcosm and allows us a close-up experience of the small events that helped shape the destiny of a youthful and growing nation.

Download or read book Essex on Lake Champlain written by David C. Hislop and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essex is located on the shoreline of Lake Champlain near the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. The town was important for its role in lake commerce, shipping goods down the Champlain Canal to the burgeoning markets of New York City and via the Erie Canal to Rochester, Buffalo, and points west during America's golden age of expansion. The photographic record of Essex contains the mansions of the merchants and the houses of the workers who all lived together in this prototypical American community. The town contains a remarkable collection of Greek Revival buildings from 1820 to 1860, its period of national significance, that are still intact. Today Essex exists with the majority of its historic structures standing and little fringe development, and the edges of the hamlet continue to merge seamlessly into the agricultural countryside.

Book excerpt: "[McKibben is] a marvelous writer who has thought deeply about the environment, loves this part of the country, and knows how to be a first-class traveling companion."—Entertainment Weekly In Wandering Home, one of his most personal books, Bill McKibben invites readers to join him on a hike from his current home in Vermont to his former home in the Adirondacks. Here he reveals that the motivation for his impassioned environmental activism is not high-minded or abstract, but as tangible as the lakes and forests he explored in his twenties, the same woods where he lives with his family today. Over the course of his journey McKibben meets with old friends and kindred spirits, including activists, writers, organic farmers, a vintner, a beekeeper, and environmental studies students, all in touch with nature and committed to its preservation. For McKibben, there is no better place than these woods to work out a balance between the wild and the cultivated, the individual and the global community, and to discover the answers to the challenges facing our planet today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering more than 8,000 squares miles and spanning the roughly triangular area between Quebec; Dorset, Vermont; and Glens Falls, New York, the Champlain Valley has a rich heritage celebrated in hundreds of historical markers, monuments, mosaics, murals, and photographs. Although human inhabitation of the region began 10,000 years ago, these monuments to the past are considerably newer, with the earliest among them recognizing the European colonizers and settlers who followed Samuel de Champlain to the shores of Lake Champlain beginning in the 17th century. By the 18th century, the entire region was populated by villages, towns, and cities, all placed against the backdrop of the surrounding Adirondacks and Green Mountains and finding life in the network of rivers and fertile valleys of the Lake Champlain Basin. This collection brings together images from throughout the Champlain Valley, offering a vision of life and the ways markers celebrate local memories and ancestors.
