Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Progressive Greensboro, the Gate City of North Carolina, Vol. 1 Greensboro has an elevation of 833 feet above tide water, and the country is sufficiently rolling to afford a natural drainage, so that stagnant water is never seen in the gutters. This is supplemented by a complete and modern system of drainage, which materially conduces to healthfulness. Greensboro is the center and gateway of the far-famed Piedmont region, which lies to the south of and is sheltered by the Blue Ridge and Sauratown ranges of mountains, which divide Virginia from North Carolina, and to the east of the extension of the same Blue Ridge range which separates the state from Tennessee, having thus a southern and eastern exposure to the sun, thus giving to the Piedmont counties all the blessings and advantages which combine to make up almost a perfect climate. Greensboro is situated 515 miles distant from New York, 413 miles from Philadelphia, 81 miles from Raleigh, 93 miles from Charlotte, 319 miles from Baltimore, 656 miles from Boston, 981 miles from Chicago, 687 miles from Cincinnati, 555 miles from Jacksonville, 319 miles from Knoxville, 885 miles from New Orleans, 255 miles from Norfolk, 189 miles from Richmond, 938 miles from St. Louis, 288 miles from Washington, and 364 miles from Savannah, with all of which she has direct and constant railroad connection. Greensboro is in the heart of a very fertile agricultural region, and Guilford County contains large quantities of timber, such as white, black, red, Spanish, post, chestnut and water oaks, hickory, yellow and white poplar, gum, dogwood, persimmon, and some walnut. The climate of Greensboro leaves but little to be desired. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Download or read book Arts in Earnest written by Daniel W. Patterson and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1989-10-31 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arts in Earnest explores the unique folklife of North Carolina from ruddy ducks to pranks in the mill. Traversing from Murphy to Manteo, these fifteen essays demonstrate the importance of North Carolina’s continually changing folklife. From decoy carving along the coast, to the music of tobacco chants and the blues of the Piedmont, to the Jack tales of the mountains, Arts in Earnest reflects the story of a people negotiating their rapidly changing social and economic environment. Personal interviews are an important element in the book. Laura Lee, an elderly black woman from Chatham County, describes the quilts she made from funeral flower ribbons; witnesses and friends each remember varying details of the Duke University football player who single-handedly vanquished a gang of would-be muggers; Clyde Jones leads a safari through his backyard, which is filled with animals made of wood and cement that represent nontraditional folk art; the songs and sermon of a Primitive Baptist service flow together as one—“it tills you up all over”; Durham bluesman Willie Trice, one of a handful of Durham musicians who recorded in the 1930s and early 1940s, remembers when the active tobacco warehouses offered ready audiences—“They’d tip us a heap of change to play some music”; and Goldsboro tobacco auctioneer H. L. “Speed” Riggs chants 460 words per minute, five to six times faster than a normal conversational rate.

Download or read book Time before History written by H. Trawick Ward and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Carolina's written history begins in the sixteenth century with the voyages of Sir Walter Raleigh and the founding of the ill-fated Lost Colony on Roanoke Island. But there is a deeper, unwritten past that predates the state's recorded history. The region we now know as North Carolina was settled more than 10,000 years ago, but because early inhabitants left no written record, their story must be painstakingly reconstructed from the fragmentary and fragile archaeological record they left behind. Time before History is the first comprehensive account of the archaeology of North Carolina. Weaving together a wealth of information gleaned from archaeological excavations and surveys carried out across the state--from the mountains to the coast--it presents a fascinating, readable narrative of the state's native past across a vast sweep of time, from the Paleo-Indian period, when the first immigrants to North America crossed a land bridge that spanned the Bering Strait, through the arrival of European traders and settlers in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Book excerpt: Have the poor fared best by participating in conventional electoral politics or by engaging in mass defiance and disruption? The authors of the classic Regulating The Poor assess the successes and failures of these two strategies as they examine, in this provocative study, four protest movements of lower-class groups in 20th century America: -- The mobilization of the unemployed during the Great Depression that gave rise to the Workers' Alliance of America -- The industrial strikes that resulted in the formation of the CIO -- The Southern Civil Rights Movement -- The movement of welfare recipients led by the National Welfare Rights Organization.
