Download or read book Medway written by Grace G. Hoag and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2004-06-16 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incorporated in 1713, Medway began as a farming community of two hundred thirty-three. It was not long before the waterpower of the Charles River and Chicken Brook stimulated the formation of cotton and paper mills, straw and boot factories, and a variety of cottage industries. Through vintage images from the 1850s to the 1960s, Medway demonstrates the central importance of the Charles River and the thriving town that grew alongside it. Included are images of trains and streetcars; recreation, such as canoeing, picnicking, and fishing; Woodland Park, a popular stop that included a zoo; and the 1913 bicentennial celebration on the banks of the river. Today, the one-room schoolhouses are gone and the country stores have moved to the mall, but the open town meetings continue and Medway retains its small-town flavor.

Book excerpt: Situated on the Back River, a tributary of South Carolina's historic Cooper River, Medway Plantation remains much as it was three centuries ago. Through photographs, interviews, letters, plantation records and diaries, this book offers a rare and intimate look at life on a private plantation. The one voice that permeates Medway's story more than any other is that of Gertrude Sanford Legendre. Her attachment to the land and animals and her passion for improving society have been the most powerful force behind Medway's preservation, culminating in her 1991 donation of permanent conservation easements on the plantation, a final act of stability in a century of precipitous change.

Download or read book The Dutch in the Medway written by P. G. Rogers and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The daring raid on the Medway in June 1667, when the Dutch navigated the treacherous shoals and sandbanks of the Thames estuary and the Medway in order to attack King Charles's ships laid up below Chatham, was one of the worst defeats in the Royal Navy's history, and a serious blow to the pride of the English crown. Perhaps the greatest humiliation was the removal by the Dutch of the flagshipRoyal Charles, towed down river after the raid and taken back to Holland. Her stern piece resides in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam to this day. The raid, intended to bring to an end English procrastination at the peace negotiations in Breda, was to cause simmering resentment and lead eventually to the Third Dutch War. As Pepys wrote in his diary on 29 July 1667, "Thus in all things, in wisdom, courage, force, knowledge of our own streams, and success, the Dutch have the best of us, and do end the war with victory on their side." P G Roger's account of the raid, and its significance within the Second Anglo-Dutch War between Britain and the United Provinces of the Netherlands, is vividly told and he sheds much interesting light on the English navy of Pepys's day. His particular knowledge of the Medway and the topography of Gillingham and Chatham also enables him to describe the manoeuvres at a level of detail that has not been replicated. This edition of a classic work will delight a whole new generation of readers.
