This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Long Turnpike in the United States, Vol. 1 At a very early date, roads began to be laid out from Philadelphia to the westward, and it is certain that, in 1714, there was a road which was said to be the directest and best that led from that city to the Dutch settlements at Conestoga and Susquehanna. This or another early road entered what is now a part of this county near the Gap hills, and proceeded westward, through Strasburg, the Big Spring, and on to Conestoga River, at the usual ford lead ing to the Manor. It, therefore, may be fairly asserted that the first well defined road or combination of roads from Philadelphia to Lancaster county was known, at least in part, as The Great Conestoga Road.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trail of the Conestoga Miss Mabel Dunham, in her book The Trail of the Conestoga, has given an exceptional picture of the early immigration of these people. They came to this country to find it a wilderness, and almost within a generation, by their unceasing labours, they changed the landscape so that well-built and substantial homes fouhd themselves surrounded by cleared land covered with abundant harvests. It is such literature that makes us realize the background Of our country's story. We know and appreciate too little the initiative, patience and self sacrifice which characterized the struggles of our forefathers in laying not only the material but also the political foundations of our country. If we go back to early days, we shall find that the problems which perplex us are no greater than those they successfully solved. In their example we should find alike strength and inspiration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fords and Bridges, Across the Conestoga, From Morgantown to Hinkletown, And, Minutes of the June Meeting Fords and Bridges, Across the Conestoga from Morgantown to Hinkletown. We may enumerate the great advantages and note the wealth wrapped up in the powers of the Conestoga, and of the fertility of the soils rendered profitable by it and by its numerous branches in its sixty-mile course; but we must not forget that its ow has always been, and still is, a constant source of inconvenience, has caused the outlay of large sums of money, from time to time, and has taxed the ingenuity of all generations, to provide fords, aqueducts, and bridges, to be of the greatest convenience, to the largest number of people, and to be in keeping with the developments and the march of improvement of our great country. In this paper we will try to Open the way for further inquiry and more detailed research, as to how, where, and by whom the Conestoga was first forded and bridged, from its source in the C'aernarvons, to the Susquehanna. Witmer's famous bridge at Lancaster was open for the public, twenty three years before the first bridge (which was made of wood), long since gone to decay, was erected across the Schuylkill, at the foot of Penn street, Reading.

Download or read book Bold Spirit written by Linda Lawrence Hunt and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1896, a Norwegian immigrant and mother of eight children named Helga Estby was behind on taxes and the mortgage when she learned that a mysterious sponsor would pay $10,000 to a woman who walked across America. Hoping to win the wager and save her family’s farm, Helga and her teenaged daughter Clara, armed with little more than a compass, red-pepper spray, a revolver, and Clara’s curling iron, set out on foot from Eastern Washington. Their route would pass through 14 states, but they were not allowed to carry more than five dollars each. As they visited Indian reservations, Western boomtowns, remote ranches and local civic leaders, they confronted snowstorms, hunger, thieves and mountain lions with equal aplomb. Their treacherous and inspirational journey to New York challenged contemporary notions of femininity and captured the public imagination. But their trip had such devastating consequences that the Estby women's achievement was blanketed in silence until, nearly a century later, Linda Lawrence Hunt encountered their extraordinary story.

Download or read book In Search of Lost Roses written by Thomas Christopher and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2002-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time—before the 1860s—people loved old roses like "Pearl of Gold," "Marchionesse of Lorne," or "Autumn Damask." Then along came the hybrid tea roses, which were easier to arrange, more dramatic, and longer-blooming, and the old roses were all but forgotten. Now the lovely, subtle-hued, richly perfumed old roses are making a comeback, thanks to the efforts of a stubborn band of eccentric characters who rescued them from back alleys, ramshackle cottages, and overgrown graveyards across the country. Thomas Christopher tells us the fascinating stories of the old roses—how they were created and made their way to America—and the unforgettable people who "rustle" them from abandoned lots and secret gardens today, revelling in the mystery of an "unknown yellow."
