Download or read book Philadelphia s Germans written by Richard N. Juliani and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Philadelphia’s Germans: From Colonial Settlers to Enemy Aliens, Richard N. Juliani examines the social, cultural, and political life, along with the ethnic consciousness, of Philadelphia’s Germans, from their participation in the founding of the colony of Pennsylvania to the entry of the United States into World War I. This book focuses on their paradoxical transformation from loyal citizens, who made great contributions as they became increasingly Americanized, to a people viewed as a foreign threat to the safety and security of the city and nation. It also considers the policies and treatment of government and views of the local press in reporting and interpreting the dilemma of German Americans during the transition.
Download or read book Memorial History of the City of Philadelphia Vol 1 written by John Russell Young and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial History of the City of Philadelphia, Vol. 1: From Its First Settlement to the Year 1895; Narrative and Critical History 1681-1895 Memorial History, now submitted to the public in these volumes, could appear at no more fitting time than in these closing years Of the Nineteenth Century. The Memorial History of New York holds a standard place in our literature. Its publishers have accepted the present under taking, and will follow the lines laid down in that sumptuous work. Guided by that experience, the present history will have features distinct from those in the New York publication. The first volume, which now goes from the press, will be a consecutive narrative of Philadelphia from the earliest to the present time. The second volume will embrace special chapters from writers of learning and eminence, illustrating in detail the rise of the city, what has been done towards free municipal government, the contributions Of Phila delphia to literature, art, religion, finance, and those vast industrial enterprises which command the attention and admiration of the world. There is no study more instructive than that of the building of a city, - for the city is an epitome Of national thought and ambition. The chronicles from which have been drawn the sources of this narrative, show that the highest phase of American achievement is expressed in the development of Philadelphia. While we note the splendor, the triumphs, perhaps, likewise the limitations of American character - we see the same principle of religious freedom which came with Penn, the magnanimous philosophy Of Franklin, the philanthropy of Girard, the financial foresight of Biddle - the achievements Of those captains Of industry who are winning victories of peace which add to the renown of the age. The third volume will be what is called The Family History of Philadelphia. It will present, as far as can be attained, a chrono logical and genealogical table Of every representative family who has resided in Philadelphia since the arrival of Penn. It is proposed to embrace whoever may have attained distinction in any walk Of life professional men, citizens in business, soldiers, those who have received civic and political honors. Great pains have been taken to make this thorough. Available archives, such as are found in our public libraries, historical societies, court registers, church records, have been carefully studied, to the end that the volume may possess entire accuracy. The editor has received from private sources valua ble information, and whatever may contribute to a complete history of the families Of those who have made Philadelphia, will be grate fully received.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The City of Philadelphia: As It Appears in the Year 1893 January 30, The act of 1854, while a great advance, did not meet the evils; nor was its intent confirmed to nor its spirit observed by councils. They' neglected the exposure and corree tion of the abuses of the departments and usurped in fuller measure than ever before almost every form of executive duty. If the water department wanted a pump, it was the water committee which decided 011 the kind, style and horse power. If the highway department paved a street, it was the highway committee which supervised the letting, execution and approval of the contract. There was 110 general supeiw'ision of public work. A condition of affairs, which was bad enough in the Old City, became intolerable when carried into the immensely extended business of con solidated Philadelphia, which had assumed proportions which demanded the most intelligent system and responsible supervision to obtain eflicient service and adequate returns for money expended. The financial management became more reckless every year, until the city was threatened with bank ruptcy. The most noticeable features of the act of consolidation that are new are the Ofiices of city controller and receiver of taxes, created by the act of 1854. The greatest improvements which took place during the period also had reference to finance. The constitution of 1874 placed a limit to the creation of funded debt, and the act of June 11, 1879, compelled the city to pay as you go. Very shortly after the consolidation act, one whose position gave him every opportunity to measure the defects of our system, and whose abilities entitled his opinion to the greatest weight, summed up in forcible English the radical defects in the organic law and pointed out the necessitv for intelligent legislation to cure those defects. The essence of our present charter, given by the act of 1885, known as the Bullitt Bill, is to be found in the second annual message of Hon. Richard Vaux, Mayor of Philadelphia, 1858. V The fifth period is that of the present charter, the act of 1885. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas R. Heinrich explores American shipbuilding from the workshop level to subcontracting networks spanning the Delaware Valley. Winner of the North American Society for Oceanic History's John Lyman Book Award Originally published in 1996. Sustained by a skilled work force and the Pennsylvania iron and steel industry, Philadelphia shipbuilders negotiated the transition from wooden to iron hull construction earlier and far more easily that most other builders. Between the Civil War and World War I, Philadelphia emerged as the vital center of American shipbuilding, constructing a wide variety of vessel types such as passenger liners, freighters, battleships, and cruisers. In Ships for the Seven Seas, Thomas R. Heinrich explores this complex industry from the workshop level to subcontracting networks spanning the Delaware Valley. He describes entrepreneurial strategies and industrial change that facilitated the rise of major shipbuilding firms; how naval architecture, marine engineering, and craft skills evolved as iron and steel overtook wood as the basic construction material; and how changes in domestic and international trade and the rise of the American steel navy helped generate vessel contracts for local builders. Heinrich also examines the formation of the military-industrial complex in the context of naval contracting. Contributing to current debates in business history, Ships for the Seven Seas explains how proprietary ownership and batch production strategies enabled late nineteenth-century builders to supply volatile markets with custom-built steamships. But large-scale naval construction in the 1920s eroded production flexibility, Heinrich argues, and since then, ill-conceived merchant marine policies and naval contracting procedures have brought about a structural crisis in American shipbuilding and the demise of the venerable Philadelphia shipyards.
