Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize Winner: “A meticulous and remarkably detailed account of the early government and social organization of the town of Sudbury, Massachusetts.” —Time In addition to drawing on local records from Sudbury, Massachusetts, the author of this classic work, which won the Pulitzer Prize in History, traced the town’s early families back to England to create an outstanding portrait of a colonial settlement in the seventeenth century. He looks at the various individuals who formed this new society; how institutions and government took shape; what changed—or didn’t—in the movement from the Old World to the New; and how those from different local cultures adjusted, adapted, competed, and cooperated to plant the seeds of what would become, in the century to follow, a commonwealth of the United States of America. “An important and interesting book . . . to the student of institutions, even to the sociologist, as well as to the historian.” —The New England Quarterly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brian Pendleton and His Descendants: 1599-1910; With Some Account of the Pembleton Families of Orange County, N. Y., Otsego County, N. Y., And Luzerne County, Pa;, And Notices of Other Pendletons of Later Origin in the United States The early records of the New England Pendletons which appear in the following pages are based almost entirely upon Colonial, town, church, and county records, the originals of which for the most part were examined by the compiler during his business trips through New York and New England, or during his summer vacations. At the same time he was enabled to interview hundreds of people - from some of whom data could not have been obtained by letter - and to examine thousands of published genealogies, local histories and the like in the libraries of Boston, Albany, Buffalo, and New York. This work was greatly simplified by the fact that Brian Pendleton was the only one of the name to establish a New England family. Consequently we did not experience the trials involved in separating the descendants of several unrelated ancestors bearing a common name. Indeed, outside of a few late comers, there is to-day but one other Pendleton family in the United States - that of Virginia, descended from Philip Pendleton who settled there in 1683. [See Appendix IV.] Another factor to our advantage is to be found in the records of Westerly, R. I. - the town which may be regarded as the old home of the New England Pendletons. These records from the earliest settlement of the place down to the present day, are in a splendid state of preservation and include not only thousands of births, marriages, and deaths, but also a great wealth of probate matters, deeds, and minutes of town and council meetings - rich mines of information that well repaid the careful working to which they were subjected. Nearly all the early Pendletons left wills or had administrations made upon their estates, so it would seem impossible to controvert any pedigree set down in this book. While we believe this part of the work to be accurate, yet we cannot feel as much certainty over any of the dates noted. Town records, Bible records, tombstones, and genealogies invariably disagree in this respect. In fact it has not been an uncommon experience to receive from one man at different times records of the births of his own children in which these discrepancies would occur. Names also are frequently puzzling as many people not only have peculiarities of handwriting which are hard to make out, but besides often diverge from the usually accepted spellings. With these minor exceptions we believe this work will be found as accurate as a genealogy can be made. Where errors are found the compiler would be thankful to receive notice of them so that they can be corrected. In the earlier generations we have usually given the authorities for the various records noted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Importance of Being Furnished written by R. Tripp Evans and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enter the private world of four New England bachelors, men who transformed their homes - now all public museums - into personal artistic statements. Exploring the lives of four bachelor designers, The Importance of Being Furnished: Four Bachelors at Home invites readers into the private worlds they created. Spanning the Gilded to the Jazz Age, these fascinating interiors not only reflect the intimate lives of their owners – men whose personal stories have, until now, remained in the shadows – but they serve as monuments to the Queer shaping of the American home as we know it today. Meet Charles Leonard Pendleton, (1846-1904), the reclusive gambler who built one of the greatest furniture collections of his age, all for a house ultimately built on sand. Explore the aristocratic interiors of renowned interior decorator Ogden Codman, Jr. (1863-1951), whose ancestral home served as a laboratory for his enormously successful 1897 manifesto, The Decoration of Houses, even as it transmitted his forebears’ vices. Join the literary salon of writer Charles H. Gibson, Jr. (1874-1954), who made his Boston home a monument to personal ambition and his own, once heralded beauty – all while transforming himself into a campy caricature of his own “Boston Brahmin” class. And last, fall under the spell of Henry Davis Sleeper (1878-1934), the nationally recognized decorator who created his fifty-room seaside masterpiece, Beauport, for the love of the man next door. Fully illustrated with color plates and period photographs, this book pays tribute to Oscar Wilde’s “gospel of beauty,” a cause these men promoted in a dazzling range of styles. By turns poignant, outrageous, and inspiring, the stories of these “surprisingly domestic bachelors” (as the press dubbed them) reveal the complicated depths beneath their homes’ brilliant surfaces.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 1046 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1930s a band of smart and able young men, some still in their twenties, helped Franklin D. Roosevelt transform an American nation in crisis. They were the junior officers of the New Deal. Thomas G. Corcoran, Benjamin V. Cohen, William O. Douglas, Abe Fortas, and James Rowe helped FDR build the modern Democratic Party into a progressive coalition whose command over power and ideas during the next three decades seemed politically invincible. This is the first book about this group of Rooseveltians and their linkage to Lyndon Johnson's Great Society and the Vietnam War debacle. Michael Janeway grew up inside this world. His father, Eliot Janeway, business editor of Time and a star writer for Fortune and Life magazines, was part of this circle, strategizing and practicing politics as well as reporting on these men. Drawing on his intimate knowledge of events and previously unavailable private letters and other documents, Janeway crafts a riveting account of the exercise of power during the New Deal and its aftermath. He shows how these men were at the nexus of reform impulses at the electoral level with reform thinking in the social sciences and the law and explains how this potent fusion helped build the contemporary American state. Since that time efforts to reinvent government by "brains trust" have largely failed in the U.S. In the last quarter of the twentieth century American politics ceased to function as a blend of broad coalition building and reform agenda setting, rooted in a consensus of belief in the efficacy of modern government. Can a progressive coalition of ideas and power come together again? The Fall of the House of Roosevelt makes such a prospect both alluring and daunting.

Download or read book Fitz H Lane written by James A. Craig and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fitz H. Lanes maritime masterpieces are known throughout the world, but the man himself has eluded both historians and art critics for over a century. The Luminist painters successful career began in his early childhood in picturesque Gloucester, Massachusetts and his talents developed and matured over time, making him one of the nations premier nineteenth-century artists. Throughout his career, Lane painted with a vitality and attention to detail that was purely American at heart, and it is in pursuit of this ideal that James Craig embarks on a detectives investigation to reconstruct with accuracy and honesty the details of a man about whom much has been written but little revealed. Few clues remain today about the artist who so thoroughly embodied the American spirit during one of humanitys most dramatic and confusing historical epochs. Lanes era was one of great change for America, and both he and his art were there to capture that spirit. This dazzling and exhaustive effort provides the first glimpse behind the canvas, beyond the career and into the soul of Fitz H. Lane. Passionate, stunning and thrilling, this is a narrative that returns life and color to a man intent or preserving and presenting the life of the culture he loved. James Craig has given Gloucester back one of her favorite sons.
