Download or read book Transforming the James River in Richmond written by Ralph Hambrick and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The James River is the centerpiece of Richmond, but by the mid-twentieth century it had been abused and neglected. Eagles and sturgeon had nearly disappeared, water-powered industry was abandoning it and the river was a sewer. Today, the river draws visitors to its wooded shorelines, restored canal and feisty rapids. At the local level, this transformation was the result of citizen action, public-private partnerships, difficult decisions by governmental leaders and the hard work of thousands of passionate advocates and volunteers. Local author and lifelong river watcher Ralph Hambrick chronicles the events, projects and controversies that brought about the dramatic change and lends a critical eye to the results.
Download or read book James River The written by William A. Fox and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007, House Resolution 16 of the 110th Congress named the James River as "America's Founding River." The first permanent English settlement in the New World was made on the banks of the James at Jamestown in 1607, and representative government in America began there in 1619. The river runs for 340 miles entirely in Virginia, from the Allegheny Mountains to Hampton Roads and the Chesapeake Bay. Canal boats, steamboats, and railroads made it a mainstream of commerce and communication for the growing state. While the river's scenic views have remained relatively unchanged since 1607, there is still much to discover along its length through 20 counties, three major cities, and numerous small towns on its way to the sea. With more than 200 images, The James River seeks to raise awareness about this great river and its history while helping to protect and preserve it for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canal Reminiscences: Recollections of Travel in the Old Days on the James River and Kanawha Canal But shall we see better times? Why, yes, surely. They have begun already in Troy, N. Y., the papers say. And I verily believe the railway, which is to take the place of the canal, will do more than all things else to bring back work for all and money for all of us in our fair city of Richmond. Let us at least hope so. And with that hope in view, I trust that these reminiscences of an obsolescent mode of travel - which may have been delightful, but cer tainly was not rapid - will give a few moments of pleasure to the friends of the publishers and of the writer.

Download or read book In River Time written by Ann Woodlief and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a book about a river -- not merely where it flows and why, not merely the history of those who have lived along its shores, but what a river means in its time and place. The river is the James, which rises at Iron Gate in the Virginia mountains and flows through 335 miles of shoreline to the Chesapeake Bay and the ocean. Historically it goes back to our national beginnings. The first permanent English settlement in the New World took place at Jamestown Island in 1607, and for long centuries before that Indians lived, hunted, fished and grew crops along its banks. The river has been waterway, barrier, creator of life and bringer of wealth, agency of destruction and chaos. No epoch of our history has not touched it deeply or been touched by it. -- From publisher's description.
