Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indianola Pioneer Cemetery, often called Williams Cemetery, is the final resting place of many of the first settlers of Merritt Island, Florida - many generations before Kennedy Space Center took up residence on the island. Back when boats were the only way to access Merritt Island, Indianola was a vibrant settlement boasting the area's first Post Office, the only school for the area, the first telephone system, and an active wharf for goods and produce. Indian River Fruit was on demand throughout the United States and getting citrus to market a major undertaking. Mosquitos so thick, going outdoors during parts of the day was next to impossible. Rattlesnakes so plentiful, at least one was encountered daily. From steamboats to rowboats, the Indian and the Banana Rivers connected Indianola with the rest of the World. A tough existence called for tough people who could work and produce, not just adapt and survive. .Indianola Pioneer Cemetery preserves this history for us in a peaceful setting on the water's edge under a thick canopy of Florida foliage. There are 321 souls at rest in the cemetery and 321 stories that deserve to be told. A simpler time and a harder existence, come join us in a walk back through time in pioneer Florida.

Each person laid to rest at this cemetery has a story about where they came from, how they came to settle here, who their relatives are, what they did for a living, and about their children. Laid to rest here are laborers, visionaries, veterans of all the wars, politicians, and other influential folk. They all had a role in building Merritt Island and they should be remembered for their time here. Nestled at the end of an unpaved road, the cemetery at Indianola holds a fascinating history. With a lot of hep from the descendants of these pioneers, the local library, the Brevard Historical Society, and the internet, these stories are brought to you."--page 4 of cover.

Download or read book Texas Cemeteries written by Bill Harvey and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Journalistic Achievement Award, Texas Historical Foundation, 2004 From the simplest slab of weathered stone to the most imposing mausoleum, every marker in a Texas cemetery bears witness to a life that—in ways small or large—helped shape the history and culture of the state. Telling the stories of some of these significant lives is the purpose of this book. Within its pages, you'll meet not only the heroes of the Texas Revolution, for example, but also one of the great African American cowboys of the traildriving era (Bose Ikard) and the first woman in Texas elected to statewide office (Annie Webb Blanton). Visiting cemeteries from every era and all regions of the state, Bill Harvey recounts the histories of famous, infamous, and just plain interesting Texans who lie at rest in Texas cemeteries. The book is organized alphabetically by city for easy reference. For each city, Harvey lists one or more cemeteries, giving their location and history, if significant. At the heart of the book are his profiles of the noteworthy people buried in each cemetery. They include not only famous but also lesser-known and even unknown Texans who made important contributions to the state in the arts, sports, business, military service, politics—truly every area of communal life. For those who want to visit these resting places, Harvey also includes tips on finding cemeteries, locating gravesites, and taking good photographs. Spend time with him in the graveyards of Texas, and you'll soon appreciate what fascinating stories the silent stones can tell.

Download or read book Here Today written by Jeffrey B. Schmidt and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Oklahoma runs through the thousands of towns that sprang up in the wake of statehood and even before then—readable in the traces of bygone days, if you know what to look for. In Here Today, Jeffrey B. Schmidt conducts readers, armchair travelers and adventurers alike, through places that tell Oklahoma’s story: towns all but disappeared, waning, or persisting despite the odds. Part travelogue, part field guide, part history, the book—replete with photos, maps, and GPS coordinates—documents the rise and fall of one hundred of these towns, from the arrival of pioneers and settlers to the rise of buildings and businesses to the decline that came with natural disasters, manmade crises, and cultural change. Schmidt provides an enlightening look at what has made these towns work—the role of roads and railways, public schools and churches, community building and commerce, and, perhaps most significant, the official recognition that a post office conferred. He notes the oil strikes, coal mines, intriguing crimes, violent weather, and twists of fortune that played into the fate of each; points out the landmarks that still stand and the shadows of those that have succumbed to indifference, destruction, or the passage of time; and puts the story these towns tell into the larger context of westward expansion, Native American history, and, in the case of the many all-Black towns, discrimination and segregation. Whether visiting ghost towns or small towns that still draw on the power of rural resilience to survive and even thrive, Here Today offers a rare chance to travel through the state’s history before its remnants may be gone tomorrow. Representing the extraordinary extent of Schmidt’s research, legwork, and mining of archives and data sources, the book preserves for all time a vanishing vision of Oklahoma.

Download or read book Ghost Towns of Texas written by T. Lindsay Baker and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The indefatigable T. Lindsay Baker has now turned his enormous mental and physical energies to the subject and has brought to view - if not to life -eighty-six Texas ghost towns for the reader's pleasure. Baker lists three criteria for inclusion: tangible remains, public access, and statewide coverage. In each case Baker comments about the town's founding, its former significance, and the reasons for its decline. There are maps and instructions for reaching each site and numerous photographs showing the past and present status of each. The contemporary photos were taken, in most instances, by Baker himself, who proves as adept a photographer as he is researcher and writer....Baker has done his work thoroughly and well, within limits imposed by necessity. He obviously had fun in the process and it shows in his prose."---New Mexico Historical Review
