Download or read book The Charleston Exposition written by Anthony Chibbaro and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From December 1901 to May 1902, the City of Charleston, South Carolina, hosted the only world's fair ever held on Palmetto State soil. Officially known as the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition, or more commonly as the Charleston Exposition, the event was eagerly anticipated by Charlestonians in hopes that it would boost business ad industry. Even an unusually cold winter could not deter the 675,000 people who visited this landmark celebration in South Carolina history. With the arrival of the Exposition's 100th anniversary, a renewed interest has been sparked in the story that surrounds it. People from all over the country flocked to the Charleston Exposition to tour the detailed building erected in what is now known as Hampton Park. Appearances from President Theodore Roosevelt and author Samuel Clemens; shows with Jim Key, the famous intelligent horse; and the display of the Liberty Bell, on loan from Philadelphia, were just a few of the highlights that enticed visitors to come to South Carolina's Lowcountry. Readers of The Charleston Exposition will experience this almost forgotten event, from its conception, through its planning and construction, to the fair's arrival and completion.

For many, the Ward is a forbidding, desolate place, but for Nicholas Thorne, the Ward is a refuge. Deep within the bowels of the Ward, Nicholas can finally escape his strange affliction – the thoughts of animals that crowd his head. The shadows of his past hang over him, forcing him to remain hidden alongside the Stokers – a forgotten people who toil day and night to keep the boilers of the Ward constantly firing, so that the engine of progress may continue to hum. But rebellion is stirring within the ranks of The Stokers, led by Nicholas' childhood friend, the brilliant engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Forbidden to do the work that brings him his only joy, Brunel innovates in secret, his mind growing ever more twisted by the desire for knowledge. Battles rage in the shadows of bizarre buildings at the heart of this nightmarish alternative London. As men transform into flesh-eating monsters, Nicholas and Brunel seek a way to restore peace – will London's salvation come from a mechanical army, or on the backs of prehistoric beasts?

Its deeply rooted history makes it a perennial destination, with more than 3.5 million visitors each year. Although it is one of the most high profile towns in the country, Newport is also one of the most cloistered.

These homes, created by distinguished architects and landscape designers, are stunning examples of Newport's 375-year "old-world" heritage.

It is a major change for them both, coming from the bustling city, of New York, but they see the potential. From the moment she sees him, Georgia, heir to the J.K. Post Drug company is enthralled by William. He is an art dealer in NYC but wanted to set up his own museum. He saw Rochester as the perfect place and proved himself as he met the people and settled into the community, After finding the right spot for his museum he hired Elwood Blatt to handle the planning and organization of exhibits while he met with local companies buying collections of artifacts, documents, and historical items. The Bemishes soon are accepted by the elite society that includes the Sibleys, Eastmans, Forman's, and McCurdy's. These acquaintances become friends and share vital details; one of which is the location they see as becoming the heart of the area; Irondequoit. It wasn't easy moving away from the city, but they soon build their dream house, just off the main thoroughfare of St. Paul Blvd., and after an earthquake caused a sinkhole on their property, they turned it into a sunken garden. Everything they had hoped for is achieved but after the garden is completed it all changes. One day William enters the garden and never returns. Georgia is heartbroken, not able to understand where he has gone, and the pain of not knowing drives her insane. The house stood vacant for years until the Sanders purchased it. Barbara, a home decorator and Neil, an Architect are shown the property by their realtor, Warren Pendergast. They are enchanted by the location, the house, and the size of the lot. They put in an offer and soon the property is theirs. Once the Sanders settle in they discover the owners have left furniture and personal items so they begin clearing it out. That's when they come across old documents and a woman's diary. The paper is brittle, so they don't try to open them, but instead send them out to be restored. They realize this is only one of the surprises on their property when late one night an earthquake hits the area. The next morning they find trees uprooted and the ground covered with branches and limbs. Neil calls around and comes up with the name of Nathaniel Park who owns DirtWorx; a company that does excavating. He is willing to take on the job. It is Nathaniel who realizes that the west side of the property has been disturbed even before the earthquake. That is when the Sanders learn they have a sunken garden.
