Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Evansville and Vanderburgh County, Indiana Now, the information caught up and recorded here for present and future generations is not the work of an hour, but, in a sense, ofa life time. As the work progressed the writer was more and more im pressed with its significance and magnitude. It grew on his hands. He has not followed the Old stereotyped formula of delivering himself of local affairs and events, but has, like a pioneer, blazed out a way of his own. It is his fond hope that some good may be done in this work, some help be extended to some one in some way.

Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Download or read book HIST OF VANDERBURGH COUNTY IND written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 710 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Vanderburgh County, Indiana: From the Earliest Times to the Present, With Biographical Sketches, Reminiscences, Etc In the chapter on military matters the Adjutant General's report for the state has been abundantly quoted as the best authority attainable on such subjects, but as that is known to contain many errors, there can be no doubt that some of them have found their way into this work. Perhaps the most notable feature of the book is the portion which contains biograph ical sketches of leading citizens, both dead and living. The practice of publishing biog raphies of living men has been condemned by some, but to question it seems like preferring doubtful information and the uncertainties of memory to positive personal knowledge. The neglect of personal and family history in the United States has become a matter of public comment. A recent call for a meeting at Indianapolis of descendants of Revolutionary sires met not a single response. This alone is a significant witness that family genealogy has been neglected, and that few people can trace their ancestry more than two genera tions. If biographies of living men were more frequently published, true modesty would not exceed the bounds of truth, and the eulogistic exaggerations that so often find apology in death, would be avoided. Should an excessive self - applause unduly proclaim its own achievements it will be best judged by a contemporaneous public. Grateful acknowledgments are due the county and city officers, the newspaper men, he officers of the Historical Society, and many citizens, for valuable assistance.

Download or read book 1 Sussex Drive written by Gabrielle D'Emilio-Lappa and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rideau Hall, the official Residence of Canada’s Governors General, has been host to some of the greatest leaders and dignitaries in history. Members of royal families, world leaders and heads of state have stayed there and have experienced, firsthand, the warmth and hospitality so often associated with Canadians. For those chosen to serve as Governors General, as well as for their families, Rideau Hall becomes their home for five years, and sometimes longer. To the outsider, a visit to Rideau Hall as an invited guest is like watching a theatre performance, with the supporting cast and crew somewhere in the background but always where they are supposed to be. This book provides first-person narratives and real accounts of memorable moments by those who worked with quiet dignity behind the scenes, and often for the greatest part of their working lives, to make Rideau Hall a home.
Download or read book River Jordan written by Joe William Trotter and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 1998-03-19 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the nineteenth century, the Ohio River has represented a great divide for African Americans. It provided a passage to freedom along the underground railroad, and during the industrial age, it was a boundary between the Jim Crow South and the urban North. The Ohio became known as the "River Jordan," symbolizing the path to the promised land. In the urban centers of Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Evansville, blacks faced racial hostility from outside their immediate neighborhoods as well as class, color, and cultural fragmentation among themselves. Yet despite these pressures, African Americans were able to create vibrant new communities as former agricultural workers transformed themselves into a new urban working class. Unlike most studies of black urban life, Trotter's work considers several cities and compares their economic conditions, demographic makeup, and political and cultural conditions. Beginning with the arrival of the first blacks in the Ohio Valley, Trotter traces the development of African American urban centers through the civil rights movement and the developments of recent years.
