Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Great Lakes For three hundred years the Great Lakes have been the centre of an immensely varied and interesting history. They were originally the home of savages; they were discovered and explored by Frenchmen; they became the scene of a century-long struggle for possession by Indians of many tribes and white men of three nations; and they have been finally occupied and developed by Americans. In every epoch they present a rich field for study. No minute and exhaustive chronicle has been attempted in this volume, but important events, with the customs and life of each period, have been brought together and presented. Changes have come with such rapidity that the conditions of fifty years ago seem remote to-day. In this swift progress the heritage of the past must not be forgotten.

This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bridge a Story of the Great Lakes He was almost running when he turned in at the entrance of his office building, hounded with a sudden fear of screaming in the street. It was time he relaxed the intolerable strain. He could have beaten the elevator man into insensibility for that one glance that might have been curiosity-or pity. For after all the firm was safe. He would not think of the rest nor even admit it to himself. He walked steadily enough down the corridor, and stopped at the familiar door. He read the curved black and gold letters of his name upon it two or three times before he went in. Everything which had belonged to his daily life held now this arresting quality of strangeness. No one looked up as he crossed the outer office. He was so nearly at the end of his endurance that he was grateful they spared him that. He had his hand on the door of his inner office when he saw that on the threshold lay a single white violet. Something, some vivid prescience of fear, told him that Moira was here and that he was to be Spared nothing. Nothing. He Opened that door also and went in, shutting it behind him. She was standing by the windows. She did not move at first, and for a moment he wondered to see her all in black. Then he remembered that, of course, she would be in black - for Gordon, his brother. He put his hands to his head. The crashing was growing very loud - hammers beating him down. The room was very silent. It stood so high that the noise of traffic in the street beneath troubled it no more than the sound of a river troubles the stillness of a forest. But there was no silence for Maclear. He knew that to meet Moira he must be strong as he had not been before. He must fail in nothing, yield nothing, admit no crack in his armour of justification. For, after all, he had done no more than a hundred other men. Why should he pay when a hundred others, with less excuse, went free P He had been betrayed by circumstance; luck had been bitterly against him. That was all. He must remember it.

Download or read book The Duration of Niagara Falls written by J. W. Spencer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duration of Niagara Falls: And the History of the Great Lakes To the encouragement of Prof. J. P. Lesley, State Geologist of Pennsylvania, is largely due the author's interest in the investigations into the history of Niagara Falls and the Great Lakes, chapters of which have appeared from time to time in the leading scientific journals, the first of which was printed in the proceedings of the American Philosophical Society of Philadelphia, in 1881. Since that time more complete chapters have appeared. These have been compiled into their natural (although not appearing in their chronolgical) sequence owing to the profound interest taken in research by Andrew H. Green, Esq., the president of the Commissioners of the State Reservation at Niagara, and are here published in order to give a scientific history of the great cataract of the world, so that the information may extend beyond the limit of a few specialists. The full history of the lakes has not yet been told, but enough is known to write a somewhat complete story of the Falls. To Mr. F. B. Taylor is due a special acknowledgment, among other contributions, for having recently given us details of the drainage of the Huron basin by way of the Nipissing Straits and the Ottawa valley before the waters of the upper lakes changed their drainage to the Niagara river, and thus accelerated the recession of the Falls.
