Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southampton through the ages is an innovative book providing a historic account of the City of Southampton from its inception in 43AD through until the present day. The author's inclusion of extensive descriptions of the buildings and their origins supported by many exceptional photographs and illustrations, paints a vivid portrayal of the city's architectural prowess from first construction to current condition. This book addresses the evolution of Southampton from its beginnings as a Roman settlement in the 1st century AD, through its encounters as a trading settlement, and onto its development as an important link between England and Normandy, until hostilities broke out between the two countries. Periods of wealth as Southampton became a port of considerable stature are recounted, as are times of economic decline up until the city's fortunes changed once again with the discovery of a spa water supply in 1750. The book tells of how modern Southampton dates from the opening of the railway line connecting London to the docks, how it has recently established itself as a premier passenger port, and how World War II has greatly influenced the appearance of the city as we know it today.

Download or read book Old Southampton written by Daniel W. Crofts and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nat Turner's 1831 slave insurrection made Virginia's Southampton County notorious. Gradually, however, the bloody spectacle receded from national memory. Although the timeless rhythms of rural life resumed after the insurrection, Southampton could not escape the forces of change. From the Age of Jackson through to secession, wartime, and Reconstruction, it shared the fate of the Old South. Many who had witnessed the insurrection lived to see Tuner's cause triumph as war destroyed the slave system, inaugurating an intense struggle to shape the new postwar order. Old Southampton links local and national history. It explains how partian loyalties developed, how white democracy flourished in the late antebellum years, how secession sharply divded neighborhoods with few slaves from those with large plantations, and how, following emancipation, former slaves challenged the prerogatives of former slaveholders. Crofts draws on two volumnious diaries and other rich records, plus rare poll lists that show how individuals voted. He vividly re-creates the experiences of planters and plain folk, slave owners and slaves, the powerful and the obscure. This deft combination of political and social history is must reading for anyone interested in the Old South and the Civil War era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1887, Southampton was proclaimed 'the most charming of all small cities by the sea.' From 1870 to 1930, the colonial farmsteads that dotted its oldest street made way for the stately second homes of America's most fashionable elite. Hollywood royalty like Ginger Rogers and Jimmy Stewart lived and played in these magnificent second homes. Situated on the east side of Lake Agawam, South Main Street cottagers fished, bicycled, sailed and walked to the beach and into the village throughout the summer season. Today all but five of these grand landmarks survive. Local author Sally Spanburgh uses her historical and architectural expertise to tell the stories behind the construction of these beautiful homes and their remarkable owners"--Publisher description.
