Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural Vegetation of Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, Arizona The monument was established in 1918. The land was never plowed during historic times, although it is currently surrounded by groundwater and river-irrigated agriculture. The boundary was fenced to protect it from livestock grazing in 1934. Decline of the water table caused the native mesquite trees to die during the 19405 (judd It is conceivable that the effects of grazing, water table decline, and possibly pesticide drift from aerial spraying of nearby cotton fields have reduced or eliminated other floral elements as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, Arizona: A Centennial History of the First Prehistoric Reserve, 1892-1992 Casa Grande Ruin Reservation was created on June 22, 1892 by order of President Benjamin Harrison to protect a one-of - a-kind remaining Casa Grande or Great House. As a result, Casa Grande became the first prehistoric and cultural site to be established in the United States. The 480 acre reservation boundary changed in 1909, but retained the same acreage. An act in 1926 reduced that area to acres. Some controversy has occurred over the years about the exact name of the monument. Originally, it was set aside as Casa Grande Ruin Reservation. In 1918 President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed it to be Casa Grande National Monument. Subsequent congressional acts in 1926 and 1930 called it Casa Grande Ruins National Monument. Some National Park Service personnel have held that the national monument proclamation of 1918 should determine the name, but, on the basis of the later legislation combined with a legal Opinion and desire by monument management to be known as Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, the National Park Service Chief Historian recommended on December 17, 1991 that it be recognized as Casa Grande Ruins National.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arizonas 20 national parks and monuments celebrate the natural wonders and rich heritage of Arizona, preserved through the efforts of countless citizens and the American Antiquities Act of 1906. Aggressively implemented by eight US presidents, this legislation permits the president to unilaterally proclaim sites as national monuments without congressional action. The Antiquities Act was applied in Arizona 23 times, more so than any other state in the union. Using more than 200 historical photographs, many of which have never been published, this book contains the stories of the creation of each of Arizonas national parks and monuments, emphasizing the importance of the landscape and cultural heritage to Arizonas identity.

This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preliminary Report on a Visit to the Navaho National Monument Arizona The present population of Walpi, a Hopi pueblo, is made up of descendants of various clans, whose ancestors once lived in distant villages, now ruins, situated in various directions from its site on the East mesa. One of the problems before the student of the Pueblos is to locate accurately the ancestral villages where these clans lived in prehistoric times. From an examination of the architecture of these villages and a study of the character of secular and cult objects found in them, the culture of the clans that inhabited these dwellings could be roughly determined. The culture at any epoch in the history of the clan being known, data are available that may make possible comparison and correlation with that which is still more ancient: in other words, that may add a chapter to our knowledge of the migrations of the Hopi Indians in prehistoric times.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Excavations at Tse-Ta'a: Canyon De Chelly National Monument, Arizona During the summers of 1949 and 1950 the National Park Service undertook the excavation of a ruin at Canyon de Chelly National Monument, Ariz. The job was of an emergency nature during the first season of work, for the Rio de Chelly was cutting into its bank at that point and had already destroyed a major part of the ruin. The excavations revealed a long sequence of occupation at the site; nearly years of human activity were represented in the various strata. AS a result of the discovery of many important data in 1949, the excavations were continued the following summer to increase our knowledge of human history in the Canyon de Chelly area and to aid the monument interpretive program.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Wind Cave, Crater Lake, Sullys Hill, and Platt National Parks, Casa Grande Ruin and Minnesota National Forest Reserve: 1908, Complied in the Office of the Secretary of the Interior By the act of Congress approved January 9, 1903 (32 Stat., 765); a tract of land containing 10,522 acres in the State of South Dakota, 12 miles east of the town of Hot Springs and the same distance southeast of Custer, was reserved and withdrawn from settlement, entry, sale, and other disposition, and set apart as a public park, to be known as the "Wind Cave National Park." The park is placed under the exclusive control of the Secretary of the Interior, who, among other things, is authorized to prescribe rules and regulations and establish such service as may be deemed necessary in its management and protection, and, in his discretion, to rent or lease the cave from which the park takes its name, and also parcels of land for the erection of buildings for the accommodation of visitors. The fund arising from such rentals is covered into the Treasury and made available for expenditure in the care and improvement of the park. At the time of the creation of the Dark there were 10 entries covering lands therein, aggregating 1,519.15 acres, 5 of which, covering 799.76 acres, have since been canceled, and the remaining 5 entries have been found proper in all respects and patents issued therefor, as follows: NE. 1/4 NW. 1/4 and NW. 1/4 NE. 1/4, sec. 35, T. 5 S., R. 5 E., Black Hills meridian; Jonathan C. West: F. C. 3003, patented December 31, 1904; 80 acres. SE. 1/2 NE. 1/4 and lots 1 and 2, sec. 2, T. 6 S., R. 5 E.; George A. Stabler; F. C. 2666; patented September 11, 1905: 159.39 acres. SE. 1/4, Sec. 2, same township and range; Susanna D. McDonald; C. E. 3770; patented December 10, 1895; 160 acres. NE. 1/4, sec. 11, same township and range; Kate M. Stabler; F. C. 2600; patented September 26, 1902; 160 acres. NW. 1/4, sec. 12, same township and range; Margarethe Drenkhahn; F. C. 2434; patented May 8, 1901; 160 acres. This gives a total of 719.39 acres for patented lands remaining in the park, which, for administrative purposes, should be eliminated through appropriation by Congress for their purchase. The State of South Dakota has completed making lieu selections of lands outside the park for school sections 16 and 36, located within the reservation, granted by the statehood act of February 20, 1899 (25 Stat., 676).

Download or read book Evolution of Water Supply Through the Millennia written by Andreas N. Angelakis and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-14 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolution of Water Supply Through the Millennia presents the major achievements in the scientific fields of water supply technologies and management throughout the millennia. It provides valuable insights into ancient water supply technologies with their apparent characteristics of durability, adaptability to the environment, and sustainability. A comparison of the water technological developments in several civilizations is undertaken. These technologies are the underpinning of modern achievements in water engineering and management practices. It is the best proof that “the past is the key for the future.” Rapid technological progress in the twentieth century created a disregard for past water technologies that were considered to be far behind the present ones. There are a great deal of unresolved problems related to the management principles, such as the decentralization of the processes, the durability of the water projects, the cost effectiveness, and sustainability issues such as protection from floods and droughts. In the developing world, such problems were intensified to an unprecedented degree. Moreover, new problems have arisen such as the contamination of surface and groundwater. Naturally, intensification of unresolved problems led societies to revisit the past and to reinvestigate the successful past achievements. To their surprise, those who attempted this retrospect, based on archaeological, historical, and technical evidence were impressed by two things: the similarity of principles with present ones and the advanced level of water engineering and management practices. Evolution of Water Supply Through the Millennia is intended for engineers in water resources companies, hydraulic design companies, and water Institutes. It can be used for all courses related to water resources. Authors: Andreas N. Angelakis, Institute of Iraklion, National Foundation for Agricultural Research (N.AG.RE.F.), Greece, Larry W.
