Download or read book The Great Explosion written by Brian Dillon and published by Penguin Ireland. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In April 1916, shortly before the commencement of the Battle of the Somme, a fire started in a vast munitions works located in the Kent marshes. The resulting series of explosions killed 108 people and injured many more. In a remarkable piece of storytelling, Brian Dillon recreates the events of that terrible day - and, in so doing, sheds a fresh and unexpected light on the British home front in the Great War. He offers a chilling natural history of explosives and their effects on the earth, on buildings, and on human and animal bodies. And he evokes with vivid clarity the interaction of human imperatives and the natural world in one of Britain's strangest and most distinctive landscapes - where he has been a habitual explorer for many years. The Great Explosion is a profound work of narrative, exploration and inquiry form one of our most brilliant writers." --Jacket flap.

Meet Robert Stuart Waddell, disgruntled employee and star witness for the government as he almost singlehandedly dismantles the Dupont Empire.Meet the Prickett's, émigrés from England, who successfully steer the powder mill through each crisis up until the final concussive explosion.And finally, consider the employees as each meets their maker in explosion after explosion, with most being buried in nearly empty coffins.Hazard Powder: where work either makes you a whole man or leaves just enough of you behind to fill a bucket.
Download or read book Across the Creek written by David Templeton and published by . This book was released on 2020-11 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the Creek tells the stories of the more than 230 people who died during the 119 years of black powder manufacturing in the DuPont powder mills in Northern Delaware. Almost 300 explosions ripped through the quiet worker's communities during the 19th and early 20th centuries.Among the stories: one man toiled for fifty-five years making powder; another loss was the son of a wealthy and well known civic leader. One woman lost her father and her husband in two explosions. Another lost her husband and a son in the same blast. Several mothers gave birth to children after their father was killed in an explosion. A war hero came home from Europe only to die in a powder explosion. The stories are chilling, sad, heart-breaking, and ironic. The book was written to honor those who gave their lives during the beginning years of what would become one of the world's best known, often reviled, inventive and successful companies. Anyone who loves history and wants to learn more about the forgotten 'little guys' (and gals) who built this country will want to read this book, written by a guide at the Hagley Museum and Library, which highlights the DuPont black powder manufacturing story of America's first years. Across the Creek is the powdermen's own phrase; when one was killed in an explosion, they said he 'went across the creek.'
