Excerpt: ...across the Blue Ridge district, and when once occupied the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal effectually stopped the westward progress of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad along the same route until a compromise was effected in 1832. West of Cumberland the railroads crossing the State follow the valleys of the rivers, utilizing the courses of the Potomac River, Wills Creek, Georges Creek, Jennings Run, the Savage River, and the Youghiogheny River. NATuRAL REsoUaoEs.----The resources of the Appalachians are varied and valuable. The early settlers found the mountains clothed with dense forests of pine and hard wood, but they lacked the means for transporting the lumber to a ready market. Even now with a canal and several railroads the cost of hauling from the forest to the point of shipment is so great as seriously to reduce the profits of the lumbering trade. The many varieties of soils in the Appalachians are closely related to the geological formations, and their distribution is clearly influenced by the geological structure. Since most of the higher hills and sharp ridges are due to the presence of heavy beds of silicious sandstone, the soils of the upper slopes are generally sandy and poor. Beneath these strata come beds of shales which are sometimes calcareous, so that the lower slopes, hills, and subsequent valleys contain soils which, while somewhat stony, give fair yields in wheat, corn, etc. The Great Valley, with its rich limestone soil and easy means of access from the north and south, forms a broad band of the most fertile lands in the State. If it had not been for the re-elevation of the Shenandoah plain this district would be most favorable to farming. As it is, the rolling surface and steep valley slopes are somewhat diflicult to till...

Book excerpt: " In September, 2014, Baltimore and the United States will mark the bicentennial of the event that inspired "The Star-Spangled Banner." But Francis Scott Key's poem, set to a British drinking song, has not always been our anthem, nor even especially popular. Aiming at a broad readership, Ferris examines the history of the song through the generations that followed the War of 1812, the kinds of Americans who rallied behind the song, and the successful lobbying effort that in 1933 convinced Congress to adopt the music and four stanzas as our official national anthem. Since then many citizens have called for its replacement with something less warlike; people quarrel over its apparent militarism and also difficulty level. Politically, Ferris finds, the songhas an interesting and somewhat tortured story. Are we the only nation on earth with a controversial national anthem?"--Provided by publisher.
Download or read book Whose Fair written by James Gilbert and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair was a major event in early-twentieth-century America. Attracting millions of tourists, it exemplified the Victorian predilection for public spectacle. The Fair has long served as a touchstone for historians interested in American culture prior to World War I and has endured in the memories of generations of St. Louis residents and visitors. In Whose Fair? James Gilbert asks: what can we learn about the lived experience of fairgoers when we compare historical accounts, individual and collective memories, and artifacts from the event? Exploring these differing, at times competing, versions of history and memory prompts Gilbert to dig through a rich trove of archival material. He examines the papers of David Francis, the Fair’s president and subsequent chief archivist; guidebooks and other official publications; the 1944 film Meet Me in St. Louis; diaries, oral histories, and other personal accounts; and a collection of striking photographs. From this dazzling array of sources, Gilbert paints a lively picture of how fairgoers spent their time, while also probing the ways history and memory can complement each other.
