Download or read book Things That Go Bump in the Night written by Louis C. Jones and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Things That Go Bump in the Night, first published in 1959, is a fascinating collection of some of the many ghost and haunted house stories and places of New York state. Traditional folksy ghost stories collected by the author and his students while he was teaching at Cornell. Some of these stories made me want to visit the places mentioned. The author said that he didn’t change any of the place names but he did change names of people so tracking down the particular stone house somewhere between Middleville and Norway becomes problematic since limestone was a popular building material in that area.

Download or read book The Plains of Abraham written by James Oliver Curwood and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by James Oliver Curwood was originally published in 1928 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. In "The Plains of Abraham," Daniel "James" Bulain, son of a French habitant and of an English schoolmaster's daughter, sees his world turned upside-down as his family and the people of the neighbouring seigneurie are massacred by a war party of Mohawks. James Oliver 'Jim' Curwood was an American action-adventure writer and conservationist. He was born on 12th June, 1878, in Owosso, Michigan, USA. In 1900, Curwood sold his first story while working for the Detroit News-Tribune, and after this, his career in writing was made. By 1909 he had saved enough money to travel to the Canadian northwest, a trip that provided the inspiration for his wilderness adventure stories. The success of his novels afforded him the opportunity to return to the Yukon and Alaska for several months each year - allowing Curwood to write more than thirty such books. Curwood's adventure writing followed in the tradition of Jack London. Like London, Curwood set many of his works in the wilds of the Great Northwest and often used animals as lead characters (Kazan, Baree; Son of Kazan, The Grizzly King and Nomads of the North). Many of Curwood's adventure novels also feature romance as primary or secondary plot consideration. This approach gave his work broad commercial appeal and helped drive his appearance on several best-seller lists in the early 1920s. His most successful work was his 1920 novel, The River's End. The book sold more than 100,000 copies and was the fourth best-selling title of the year in the United States, according to Publisher's Weekly. He contributed to various literary and popular magazines throughout his career, and his bibliography includes more than 200 such articles, short stories and serializations. Curwood was an avid hunter in his youth; however, as he grew older, he became an advocate of environmentalism and was appointed to the 'Michigan Conservation Commission' in 1926. The change in his attitude toward wildlife can be best expressed by a quote he gave in The Grizzly King: that 'The greatest thrill is not to kill but to let live.' Despite this change in attitude, Curwood did not have an ultimately fruitful relationship with nature. In 1927, while on a fishing trip in Florida, Curwood was bitten on the thigh by what was believed to have been a spider and he had an immediate allergic reaction. Health problems related to the bite escalated over the next few months as an infection set in. He died soon after in his nearby home on Williams Street, on 13th August 1927. He was aged just forty-nine, and was interred in Oak Hill Cemetery (Owosso), in a family plot. Curwood's legacy lives on however, and his home of Curwood Castle is now a museum.

TAXATION AND ASSESSMENTS, INCLUDING SOME OF THE PRINCIPAL TAXPAYERS IN THE EARLY DAYS.--SUPERVISORS' UNIQUE RECORDS. The earliest assessment roll preserved in the town clerk's office is for the year 1820, by which roll it appears that there was at that time in this town, 161 resident taxpayers and eight non-resident taxpayers. Forty-six of the resident taxpayers were assessed for personal property. William Finn was the largest land-owner in town at that time. He was assessed for 4738 acres of land and his personal assessment was for $3,000. The land throughout the town was assessed at the uniform rate of $1.00 per acre, and Mr. Finn was therefore assessed for $7,738, upon which assessment he paid a tax of $30.56. He was not only the largest landowner, but he was also the largest taxpayer in town. In 1826 the town raised for the support of the poor, $150; for town expenses, $199.85; for the support of common schools, $95.04; for county tax, $352.22, and for the collector's fee on school tax, $4.75, making a total levy in town of $801.86. The next year the levy was something less, being only $743.22. In 1830 the aggregate valuation of the resident taxpayers was $177,630. This valuation was reduced four per cent, by the Board of Supervisors, and Ira Parmely, Supervisors' clerk, certified that "there is to be levied in Fort Edward this year (1830) for town expenses, $133.13; for the support of common schools, $101.58; for county tax, $622.40; for collector's fees on school tax, $5.08, a total of $862.19." In 1831 the total assessed acreage was 15,733. The valuation of the real estate was $163,482; the personal assessment was $16,409; the aggregate valuation $179,891; and the total tax was $515.92. In 1832 the aggregate...
