Download or read book A Romp Through Early Cambria County Pennsylvania written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a history of East Central Cambria County. It is a timely addition to research on events and families of Early Cambria. This is especially true since Cambria will be celebrating the 200th anniversary of its founding in 2004. The book treats of a long-silenced, unwritten chapter in the founding of the young County. It is really impossible to deal with the history of this area without noting the influence of the Roman Catholic Church. In the person of one of its ministers, Rev. Demetrius Gallitzin, opposition was mounted to obstruct the founding of the young County. Gallitzin, a Russian aristocrat, was not about to tolerate another power base moving into his ballywick. He went as far as to publicly slander from the pulpit the officials of the new County in an attempt to negate their influence. It is an eye-opening view of things that were not always peaceful in Camelot. The Gallitzin affair is not the focus of the work, rather it treats of events and people who were formative influences in the little world of early Cambria. It deals with what we might refer to as the establishment of the ?establishment?. These were the beginnings of religion, education, and government in the young County. Most of the activity of the narrative takes place in the 19th century. However, some events before and after that century are dealt with. A spectacle is presented that gives views and insightful comments on events as diverse as the coming of the Portage Railroad, the Mountain House, the Ku Klux Klan?s visit to Lilly, the sinking of Cresson Shaft, the rivalry between Munster and Loretto, and the arrival of the PRR?s Mainline. The volume is replete with illustrations and maps, many by the author. Several side trips are taken that help put the little world of early Cambria in a larger context. These include trips to the PA/MD border area, where many of the early settlers came from, and to the Sinking Valley in Blair County. A thorough index makes the book a useful research tool in addition to its being a significant new addition to the literature of early Cambria. --Jim Miller

Download or read book Smalltime A Story of My Family and the Mob written by Russell Shorto and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of 2021 Family secrets emerge as a best-selling author dives into the history of the mob in small-town America. Best-selling author Russell Shorto, praised for his incisive works of narrative history, never thought to write about his own past. He grew up knowing his grandfather and namesake was a small-town mob boss but maintained an unspoken family vow of silence. Then an elderly relative prodded: You’re a writer—what are you gonna do about the story? Smalltime is a mob story straight out of central casting—but with a difference, for the small-town mob, which stretched from Schenectady to Fresno, is a mostly unknown world. The location is the brawny postwar factory town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The setting is City Cigar, a storefront next to City Hall, behind which Russ and his brother-in-law, “Little Joe,” operate a gambling empire and effectively run the town. Smalltime is a riveting American immigrant story that travels back to Risorgimento Sicily, to the ancient, dusty, hill-town home of Antonino Sciotto, the author’s great-grandfather, who leaves his wife and children in grinding poverty for a new life—and wife—in a Pennsylvania mining town. It’s a tale of Italian Americans living in squalor and prejudice, and of the rise of Russ, who, like thousands of other young men, created a copy of the American establishment that excluded him. Smalltime draws an intimate portrait of a mobster and his wife, sudden riches, and the toll a lawless life takes on one family. But Smalltime is something more. The author enlists his ailing father—Tony, the mobster’s son—as his partner in the search for their troubled patriarch. As secrets are revealed and Tony’s health deteriorates, the book become an urgent and intimate exploration of three generations of the American immigrant experience. Moving, wryly funny, and richly detailed, Smalltime is an irresistible memoir by a masterful writer of historical narrative.
