Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Pictorial Description of Ohio: Comprising a Sketch of Its Physical Geography, History, Political Divisions, Resources, Government and Constitution, Antiquities, Public Lands, Etc In presenting the following pages to the reading public, we desire to disclaim all pretensions to originality; our labors having been directed chiefly to the arrangement and condensation of facts developed and recorded by others, in such manner and within such a space as would suit the tastes and wants of a large class of our citizens. This work is in continuation of a plan to put forth in cheap form, the important events in the history of our Republic, its governmental operations, and its extraordinary progress in its population, wealth, and intelligence. Already, in the "New World Illustrated," a general view of the United States has been taken, and we now commence a detailed description of the several states, by a series of works of a more local character, like the one here presented. In the preparation of this little volume, we have made free use of all the information within our reach, and we here wish to give full credit to the sources whence we have drawn it, the most important of which are, the valuable "Historical Collections of Ohio," by H. Howe, Esq.; Sherman & Smith's "United States Gazetteer;" and "Bradford's Atlas;" and other works of minor importance. We have aimed to secure accuracy, in all that we have presented, and believe that comparatively few errors will be found. For the population of the towns we have used the last official Census of the United States. It will be found occasionally that the capital of a county bears the same name as the township in which it is located, and in some instances the population of the township and of the capital are given separately. This if unexplained would present the appearance of error, but when understood, the seeming error and discrepancy may be easily reconciled. Although this work is designed especially for the use of the people of Ohio, yet the information which it contains will be found valuable to all, in every part of the Union; for as we are E Pluribus Unum - many in one - whatever relates to one member of the confederacy, has an abiding interest in the hearts and minds of the people of all. It will be found valuable to the emigrant who departs for that "garden of the west;" and to the general reader, we trust a perusal of its pages will prove profitable and edifying.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The community of Zoar has been a tourist attraction since it was founded in 1817, due in part to its uncommon experiment in Christian communal living, its German heritage, and its location on the Ohio & Erie Canal. Unlike many 19th-century communal societies, Zoar did not discourage tourism and gawkers. As a result, there is an unusually rich photographic record of the community and its people as well as many descriptions and comments by writers who wished to share their impressions of this Old World town. Tourists snapped photos of themselves riding on haywagons, boating on Zoar Lake, and walking in the Zoar Separatists' symbolic garden. The Zoarites themselves got into the act as well, taking commercial photos of themselves and their town to be sold as postcards. Fernandez uses many previously unpublished photographs from the Ohio Historical Society's collections and captions them with the words of journalists, diarists, and other visitors. Today a restored village with a ten-museum complex operated by the Ohio Historical Society, Zoar has consciously maintained its German roots. Zoar continues to attract the curious individual, the traveler, the day-tripper, and the magazine a
Download or read book Basquiat The Unknown Notebooks written by Dieter Buchhart and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Accompanying a major traveling exhibition, this first-ever survey of the rarely seen notebooks of Basquiat features the artist's handwritten notes, poems, and drawings, along with related works on paper and large-scale paintings. With no formal training, Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) succeeded in developing a new and expressive style to become one of the most influential artists in the postmodern revival of figurative during the 1980s. In a series of notebooks from the early to mid-1980s, never before exhibited, Basquiat combined text and images reflecting his engagement with the countercultures of graffiti and hip-hop in New York City, as well as pop culture and world events. Filled with handwritten texts, poems, pictograms, and drawings, many of them iconic images that recur throughout his artwork-teepees, crowns, skeleton-like silhouettes, and grimacing masks-and these notebooks reveal much about the artist's creative process and the importance of the written word in his aesthetic. With over 150 notebook pages and numerous drawings and paintings, this important book sheds new light on Basquiat's career and his critical place in contemporary art history."--

Book excerpt: Mystic Chords of Memory "Illustrated with hundreds of well-chosen anecdotes and minute observations . . . Kammen is a demon researcher who seems to have mined his nuggets from the entire corpus of American cultural history. . . . Insightful and sardonic."—Washington Post Book World In this groundbreaking, panoramic work of American cultural history, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Machine That Would Go of Itself examines a central paradox of our national identity. How did "the land of the future" acquire a past? And to what extent has our collective memory of that past—as embodied in our traditions—been distorted, or even manufactured? Ranging from John Adams to Ronald Reagan, from the origins of Independence Day celebrations to the controversies surrounding the Vietnam War Memorial, from the Daughters of the American Revolution to immigrant associations, and filled with incisive analyses of such phenonema as Americana and its collectors, "historic" villages and Disneyland, Mystic Chords of Memory is a brilliant, immensely readable, and enormously important book. "Fascinating . . . a subtle and teeming narrative . . . masterly."—Time "This is a big, ambitious book, and Kammen pulls it off admirably. . . . [He] brings a prodigious mind and much scholarly rigor to his task. . . . An important book—and a revealing look at how Americans look at themselves."—Milwaukee Journal
