Download or read book Rim of the World Drive written by Roger G. Hatheway and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 18, 1915, the Rim of the World Drive was dedicated as politicians, businessmen, and local luminaries looked on. What followed is the incredible story of how a road changed the lives of San Bernardino Mountain visitors and residents alike. In a single generation, the slow 19th-century lifestyle that moved at the pace of horses was transformed into the streamlined and fast-paced 20th-century age of the automobile. By the 1930s, a realigned high-gear route led up the hill from San Bernardino to Crestline, then along the crest to Lake Arrowhead, Running Springs, and Big Bear, and finally down the hill to Redlands. This fascinating evolution of Southern California's landmark Rim of the World Drive--from Native American trail to state highway--is showcased here in a meticulously researched presentation of rare photographs, many never before published.

Download or read book On the Rim of the Caribbean written by Paul M. Pressly and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIVHow did colonial Georgia, an economic backwater in its early days, make its way into the burgeoning Caribbean and Atlantic economies where trade spilled over national boundaries, merchants operated in multiple markets, and the transport of enslaved Africans bound together four continents? In On the Rim of the Caribbean, Paul M. Pressly interprets Georgia's place in the Atlantic world in light of recent work in transnational and economic history. He considers how a tiny elite of newly arrived merchants, adapting to local culture but loyal to a larger vision of the British empire, led the colony into overseas trade. From this perspective, Pressly examines the ways in which Georgia came to share many of the characteristics of the sugar islands, how Savannah developed as a "Caribbean" town, the dynamics of an emerging slave market, and the role of merchant-planters as leaders in forging a highly adaptive economic culture open to innovation. The colony's rapid growth holds a larger story: how a frontier where Carolinians played so large a role earned its own distinctive character. Georgia's slowness in responding to the revolutionary movement, Pressly maintains, had a larger context. During the colonial era, the lowcountry remained oriented to the West Indies and Atlantic and failed to develop close ties to the North American mainland as had South Carolina. He suggests that the American Revolution initiated the process of bringing the lowcountry into the orbit of the mainland, a process that would extend well beyond the Revolution./div

The son of Pentecostal rug-shampooers, Pickett has never been the social toast of the town, but when he is accused of negligent homicide in the death of his former lover, he finds himself ostracized by his colleagues and realizes just how small his little village truly is.

Download or read book On the Rim of Empire written by Philip Peter Russo and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-12 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though taking place against the background of the colorful and turbulent years of the American Revolution, this is primarily a tale of espionage and betrayal. Within the fabric of the earth-shaking events of those times, the author has interwoven a set of characters who could have credibly existed, but who are, of course, pure fiction. What is not fiction was George Washington's shrewd, efficient, and amazingly effective use of his secret service during the long struggle for American independence. Even so, events were to prove that at times mere chance weighed in at the right time and place to aid in the birth of this new and very different nation; one that a future great president would call "the last best hope of mankind".
