Download or read book Southwick Revisited written by Lee David Hamberg for the Celebrate Southwick 250 Committee and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southwick, a traditionally agricultural and recreational community, was known as the "south part" of Westfield before it was established as a district on November 7, 1770. Its soils have allowed many a farmer to make a living off the land. Connecticut Valley shade tobacco, broadleaf tobacco, and dairy farming have been staples for generations. Water from the Congamond Lakes has powered gristmills, sawmills, and powder mills. Its spring waters assured quality ice to be harvested during the winter and made it a mecca for fishing, boating, and swimming in the summer. The historical photographs in Southwick Revisited depict these and other themes that have been a part of the community's rich heritage.

This book was released on 2009-05-22 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated on the banks of the Ohio River, Louisville, Kentucky, represents a cultural and geographical intersection of North and South. Throughout its history, Louisville has simultaneously displayed northern and southern characteristics in its race relations. In their struggles against racial injustice in the mid-twentieth century, activists in Louisville crossed racial, economic, and political dividing lines to form a wide array of alliances not seen in other cities of its size. In Civil Rights in the Gateway to the South: Louisville, Kentucky, 1945–1980, noted historian Tracy E. K'Meyer provides the first comprehensive look at the distinctive elements of Louisville's civil rights movement. K'Meyer frames her groundbreaking analysis by defining a border as a space where historical patterns and social concerns overlap. From this vantage point, she argues that broad coalitions of Louisvillians waged long-term, interconnected battles during the city's civil rights movement. K'Meyer shows that Louisville's border city dynamics influenced both its racial tensions and its citizens' approaches to change. Unlike African Americans in southern cities, Louisville's black citizens did not face entrenched restrictions against voting and other forms of civic engagement. Louisville schools were integrated relatively peacefully in 1956, long before their counterparts in the Deep South. However, the city bore the marks of Jim Crow segregation in public accommodations until the 1960s. Louisville joined other southern cities that were feeling the heat of racial tensions, primarily during open housing and busing conflicts (more commonly seen in the North) in the late 1960s and 1970s. In response to Louisville's unique blend of racial problems, activists employed northern models of voter mobilization and lobbying, as well as methods of civil disobedience usually seen in the South. They crossed traditional barriers between the movements for racial and economic justice to unite in common action. Borrowing tactics from their neighbors to the north and south, Louisville citizens merged their concerns and consolidated their efforts to increase justice and fairness in their border city. By examining this unique convergence of activist methods, Civil Rights in the Gateway to the South provides a better understanding of the circumstances that unified the movement across regional boundaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life around the three Congamond Lakes from 1870 to 1940 is examined in Around Southwick, a new photographic history created for the Southwick Historical Society, Inc. by its president, Patricia Odiorne. From its origin as a part of the City of Westfield to the inclusion of over one-third of its area in the State of Connecticut, the Town of Southwick, Massachusetts, has developed over the years a number of connections to neighboring communities, many of which are examined here. Early settlers in the Southwick area lived a hearty and varied lifestyle, working the land and delighting in the enjoyment of its bounty. The harvesting of ice for shipment to many large cities was a source of income for some, and numerous laborers from other countries came to the Southwick area to find work. For a time, Southwick and its environs were regarded as resort communities, providing the destination for many steamboat rides and weekend sojourns. Around Southwick chronicles the development of the area through all its early stages.

Download or read book Great Lakes Tectonic Zone revisited written by Paul Kibler Sime and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Lakes tectonic zone (GLTZ) is a Late Archean crustal boundary (paleosuture) at least 1,200 kilometers long that juxtaposes a Late Archean greenstone-granite terrane (Wawa subprovince of Superior province) on the north and an Early to Late Archean gneiss terrane (Minnesota River Valley subprovince) on the south. Recent mapping of an exposed seg- ment in the Marquette, Michigan, area provides new data on the vergence of the structure. These data necessitate reexami- nation of the COCORP seismic-reflection profiling in central Minnesota, which has been the principal basis for past views on the vergence of the GLTZ. In the Marquette area, the GLTZ is a northwest-striking mylonite zone about 2.3 kilometers wide that is superposed on previously deformed rocks of both Archean terranes. Shear zone walls strike N. 55°-60° W., and foliation in mylonite within the GLTZ strikes (average) N. 70° W. and dips 75° SW. A stretching lineation plunges 42° in a S. 43° E. direction. Hinges of tight to open (sheath?) folds of both Z- and S-symmetries plunge parallel to the lineation. The attitude of the lineation (line of tectonic transport and X finite strain axis), together with asymmetric kinematic indicators, indicates that collision at this locality was oblique; the collision resulted in dextral- thrust shear along the boundary, northwestward vergence, and overriding of the greenstone-granite terrane by the gneiss terrane. In contrast, the seismic-reflection profiling in central Minnesota has been interpreted by several investigators to indicate that the GLTZ is a shallowly north dipping (=30°) structure, which implies southward vergence on a north-dipping subduction zone. We suggest, alternatively, that the shallow- dipping reflectors in the seismic profiles indicate lithologic contacts related to recumbent and gently inclined folds (D1), perhaps enhanced by ductile deformation zones, and that the Morris fault is indeed the GLTZ. The Morris fault strikes about N. 70° E., dips steeply southeastward, is transparent in seismic profiles, appears to be narrow, and coincides with the inferred position of the GLTZ as shown on earlier maps. The oblique collision along northwest-trending segments of the GLTZ would be expected to produce dextral transpression across a large region north of the GLTZ, and may have produced an early nappe-forming event (D1) as well as younger upright folds (D2), and as a later, more brittle event, the numerous dextral faults and conjugate sinistral faults that are widespread in the Wawa and adjacent subprovinces.

Download or read book Saltmarsh written by Clive Chatters and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Saltmarshes are often remote, inhospitable places, neither land nor sea, as hard to pin down as they are to navigate. In this saline odyssey, Clive Chatters has explored his favourite creeks, pools and mudflats to bring us an absorbing celebration of the ecology, biology, geology and history of this scarce and mysterious habitat. There are Tadpole Shrimps, and rare sedges, waders and Wild Celery – even inland saltmarshes – in this tour de force by a superb naturalist and writer." BRETT WESTWOOD, naturalist, author and radio presenter Saltmarshes are among Britain's most diverse and dynamic landscapes. They abound around our shores but may also be found inland and at altitude – wherever water, salt and vegetation combine. The species they support range from extreme rarities of specialised habitats to the less demanding denizens of coastal wetlands. Here is a landscape of international importance for migratory birds, endemic plants and an exceptional variety of invertebrates. Clive Chatters has a lifetime's affinity with saltmarshes. In this fifth volume of the British Wildlife Collection, he celebrates their natural history and diversity, from the highly distinctive marshes in the Scottish Highlands to the urban remnants of the Thames estuary now engulfed within the capital. By examining the past of these complex habitats, we can gain an insight into how they have developed, and an understanding of their relationship with people. In addition to their exceptionally diverse natural history, saltmarshes are sources of food and medicine, they play a pivotal role in flood defence and carbon sequestration, and have inspired artistic endeavour.
