Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Town of Flushing: Long Island, New York The plan pursued by the author of the following pages has been, to tell the story of our town as simply and briefly as possible, avoiding the introduction of long quotations from old documents, and in foot notes referring the reader to the authority for every statement. Only so much of the history of the Province has been introduced as was deemed necessary to explain events in the town. Without this occasional broader vision, our history would in many places be but a series of disconnected and meaningless entries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE: IN this age of many books one feels inclined to apologize for adding to the number. A history of Flushing has never been published. This fact has seemed to the author a sufficient excuse for the present undertaking. Mandeville's Flushing Past and Present contains some valuable material; but that material has not been digested, and has not been arranged in chronological order. The book cannot be called a history. The plan pursued by the author of the following pages has been, to tell the story of our town as simply and briefly as possible, avoiding the introduction of long quotations from old documents, and in foot notes referring the reader to the authority for every statement. Only so much of the history of the Province has been introduced as was deemed necessary to explain events in the town. Without this occasional broader vision, our history would in many places be but a series of disconnected and meaningless entries. The author is indebted to many persons for kind assistance. The flies of local newspapers have frequently been referred to, in preparing the chapter on modern Flushing. To his friend, Mr. E. A. Fairchild, the author again acknowledges his indebtedness for valuable assistance and suggestions in the correction of proofs.

Book excerpt: In 1645, English immigrants settled in Vlissengen, an area of Queens now known as Flushing. After bitter disagreements with Governor Stuyvesant over the issue of religious freedom, they produced the Flushing Remonstrance, one of the first public statements defending the separation of church and state. The village of Flushing was incorporated into the larger New York City area in 1898, and the community soon became famous for its beautiful tree-lined streets, a reminder of its rich horticultural heritage. The Bowne House, the First Quaker Meetinghouse, Kingsland Homestead, Flushing Town Hall, and St. George's Church are a few of the buildings known for their architectural merit and historic significance.

Book excerpt: As the largest Chinese immigrant community, Flushing was “discovered” and invested by many Chinese. They are here to reunite with family, raise their children and establish businesses and build a new immigrant society. However, many people only see what is in front of their eyes and see Flushing as how it is today. Limited by their view, they are not able to see the Flushing that was once flourishing. It is quite regretful that the new immigrants who want to begin a new life on this wonderful land won’t get to see the old Flushing.The name “New Amsterdam” made its first appearance in an official Dutch document in 1614. What’s the relationship between the Dutch and the establishment of Flushing? Why did they name it “Flushing”?The history of Flushing contributes to the important chapter of American history. The Flushing Remonstrance of 1657 was the first written document calling for religious freedom and later it became the blueprint of the Bill of Rights. For nearly 400 years, the history of Flushing represented the history of immigrants and their fight for their right to live and vote. It all started on Oct 10, 1645, with early Dutch and English colonists who built and self-governed in the Town of Flushing.The 10-episode documentary tells the stories of Flushing, from early 1600 to the 21st century, including stories of immigrants of Dutch, British, Japanese, Korean and Chinese descendants. The film crew closely worked with scriptwriter and host Paul Qiu, Assistant Library Manager of Queens Library at Flushing, and a renowned writer and poet, to produce a historical and vivid documentary based on archive, history books, census data, and real life of Flushing. The Episodes was aired weekly from August to October 2017 and was able to draw a large audience. It brought Chinese back to history where they live and changed the view and perception of Flushing for many Chinese immigrants. What you are reading now is the print edition of 10-episode documentary.
Download or read book The Culture of Flushing written by Jamie Benidickson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flush of a toilet is routine. It is safe, efficient, necessary, nonpolitical, and utterly unremarkable. Yet Jamie Benidickson's examination of the social and legal history of sewage in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom demonstrates that the uncontroversial reputation of flushing is deceptive. The Culture of Flushing investigates and clarifies the murky evolution of waste treatment. It is particularly relevant in a time when community water quality can no longer be taken for granted.
