Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication represents the latest Class I (History) to be written for the western slope of Colorado. Our three districts in this region of Colorado now have histories specifically for them. Such works provide a valuable and needed synthesis of history and literature for these areas and also gives our managers data that are used on a daily basis for land-use decision making. Multiple land use is a Bureau mission that is being met. Oil and gas, coal, oil shale and other energy minerals, not to mention rights-of-ways, grazing programs, recreation projects and land-use planning, are all supported by histories such as this. Resource Management Plans and subsequent Environmental Impact Statements that are produced for the Bureau's Area Offices are the foundations for long-term land-use management. The Glenwood Springs, Colorado, Resource Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement is a Bureau pilot document and serves as a management tool for the Glenwood Springs Resource Area. This history, Volley of Opportunity supports the Resource Management Plan. In addition, a history provides background and support for the upcoming Grand Junction Resource Area Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement. The Volley of Opportunity has already been used for Oil Shale Environmental Statements and for the Federal Coal Leasing Program in the Grand Junction, Colorado, District. Truly, such histories are not only multiple-use in scope but are also management tools that provide basic understanding for land use decisions. Additionally, this history represents an ongoing effort to provide the public reader with a work that is not only interesting but is also well researched. In this way, another sector is satisfied. These histories are used by schools, libraries, universities and, of course, the general public. Again, multiple-use is served. Finally, as the Volley of Opportunity was being prepared, it happened that the City of Grand Junction's Centennial would occur in 1982. Coincidentally, the Glenwood Springs Resource Management Plan will be published in November 1982. Since this history serves several purposes, it is appropriate that it also is the Bureau's contribution to Grand Junction's Centennial celebration.

Download or read book Valley of Opportunity written by Peter C. Mancall and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valley of Opportunity recreates an age when Indians, colonists, and post-Revolutionary settlers embraced a similar dream: to create a successful economy in the rural hinterland of the middle colonies. Peter C. Mancall draws on abundant evidence from seldom-used archives in the region, as well as from libraries on both sides of the Atlantic, to reconstruct their daily economic life. The author describes the varied economic transformations that took place in the area, considering these changes from an environmental as well as an economic standpoint. He shows how different groups of people perceived the resources of the region and how their perceptions shaped settlement patterns, land use, and the formation of commercial networks. Ultimately, each of the three peoples looked beyond the mountains that set the boundaries of their physical world and tried to establish ties to the larger commercial network that linked North America to Europe. Mancall offers connections between the development of a particular region, previously overlooked by most historians, and the wide pattern of American economic change. He breaks through old ethnocentric barriers of settlement history by portraying Indian people in their full diversity and by including Indians and whites as actors of comparable significance, and he shows how attitudes that developed in the colonial period affected economic patterns well beyond the Revolution. Integrating a range of disciplines, from anthropology through ecology and geography to zoology, he seeks to answer the questions: what did different groups of people make of the natural resources of this river valley and how did they allocate the rewards? His answers provide a novel overview of the economic culture of the eighteenth century. Studded with sharp insights and attention-catching quotations that mirror everyday life of the times, Valley of Opportunity will appeal to those interested in the development of the American economy, the impact of the Revolution on urban Americans, and the relations between the peoples who together created a vibrant world along the edges of European settlement in North America.

Download or read book Opportunity Valley written by Edwin G. York and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opportunity Valley portrayed the Delaware River valley before 1800 as the most successful seaport of North America, the natural capital for an emerging independent nation, a world-famous haven for flocks of religious refugees and dissenters, and a well-advertised gateway to land ownership. Why write a colonial history of this valley? Don't we already have plenty of colonial histories of Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and New York? We need an early history of the Delaware River's vast valley because such a watershed naturally functions as a unity and because what happened here from 1600 to 1800 was of major importance to the future of this nation and the entire world. The energetic people of this valley developed a world-class seaport. They created a peaceful and cooperative home for diverse peoples. They formed a cradle for the growth of the young United States. They took on the role of a leader in abolishing slavery. They built a center for education, culture and gracious living second only to London. As readers would expect, key areas of the valley are singled out as chapters for detailed exploration: Dutch beginnings, the Swedish colony, West Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware's lower counties and New York's headwater counties. Also, as a surprise to some readers, the Connecticut colony on the upper Delaware River has a chapter. Four topics of regional importance also provide chapters: (1) a new nation evolves, (2) Benjamin Franklin's contribution, (3) the valley's campaign against keeping slaves, and (4)the valley as an outstanding center for American culture. The chapter presenting the evolution of the new nation distinguished between 120 cradle years when peace and collaboration dominated and 80 crucible years resulting from 15 years of actual war and 65 years of the serious threat of war. The actual war years were: (1) the New Sweden and New Amsterdam War, two weeks during 1655;(2) the Seven Years War (French and Indian War), from 1754 to 1763, and (3)the War for American Independence, from 1775 to 1783. Benjamin Franklin was portrayed as a dominant figure throughout the eighteenth century in regional, national and international events. His businesses, inventions, achievements and contributions were presented in the format of the decades of his life, mostly lived in the Delaware Valley. The chapter on the valley's campaign against slavery focused on the Quaker leadership in awakening consciences. The contributions of John Woolman, the abolition societies and colonial and state assemblies were emphasized. The valley's connection with British abolitionists bore fruit in 1807 when the British Parliament abolished the slave trade. The development of the Delaware Valley as a center for culture and learning could be expected to deal with education, architecture, science, medicine, publishing, libraries and the arts. The chapter also gives attention to agriculture, gender equality and opposing cruelty to animals. The valley's cultural achievement was understood to benefit not only from gifted leadership and generous philanthropy but also from a prosperous economy, a favorable natural environment and a receptive public. The final chapter deals with the valley's people working together in fostering major achievements. Examples of such cooperation include island jurisdiction decisions, and settling disputes about shipwrecks, fisheries, ferries and bridges. The greatest contribution of the Delaware Valley to the nation and the world was seen to be the egalitarian view of freedom flourishing here, especially influential in forming a democratic national government and, eventually, in freeing the slaves. This book is alive with appropriate maps and illustrations. One of the most interesting is a number of pages from a standard artillery manual published in 1780 and official in the armies of France, England, Germany and our new

Book excerpt: *Named one of Wall Street Journal's Best Books of 2015 *Selected as a Military Times's Best Book of the Year “You’re going up the Valley.” Black didn’t know its name, but he knew it lay deeper and higher than any other place Americans had ventured. You had to travel through a network of interlinked valleys, past all the other remote American outposts, just to get to its mouth. Everything about the place was myth and rumor, but one fact was clear: There were many valleys in the mountains of Afghanistan, and most were hard places where people died hard deaths. But there was only one Valley. It was the farthest, and the hardest, and the worst. When Black, a deskbound admin officer, is sent up the Valley to investigate a warning shot fired by a near-forgotten platoon, he can only see it as the final bureaucratic insult in a short and unhappy Army career. What he doesn’t know is that his investigation puts at risk the centuries-old arrangements that keep this violent land in fragile balance, and will launch a shattering personal odyssey of obsession and discovery as Black reckons with the platoon’s dark secrets, accumulated over endless hours fighting and dying in defense of an indefensible piece of land. The Valley is a riveting tour de force that changes our understanding of the men who fight our wars and announces John Renehan as one of the great American storytellers of our time.

Download or read book Lost in the Valley of Death written by Harley Rustad and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "By patient accumulation of anecdote and detail, Rustad evolves Shetler’s story into something much more human, and humanly tragic, into a layered inquisition and a reportorial force....suffice it to say Rustad has done what the best storytellers do: tried to track the story to its last twig and then stepped aside." —New York Times Book Review In the vein of Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild, a riveting work of narrative nonfiction centering on the unsolved disappearance of an American backpacker in India—one of at least two dozen tourists who have met a similar fate in the remote and storied Parvati Valley. For centuries, India has enthralled westerners looking for an exotic getaway, a brief immersion in yoga and meditation, or in rare cases, a true pilgrimage to find spiritual revelation. Justin Alexander Shetler, an inveterate traveler trained in wilderness survival, was one such seeker. In his early thirties Justin Alexander Shetler, quit his job at a tech startup and set out on a global journey: across the United States by motorcycle, then down to South America, and on to the Philippines, Thailand, and Nepal, in search of authentic experiences and meaningful encounters, while also documenting his travels on Instagram. His enigmatic character and magnetic personality gained him a devoted following who lived vicariously through his adventures. But the ever restless explorer was driven to pursue ever greater challenges, and greater risks, in what had become a personal quest—his own hero’s journey. In 2016, he made his way to the Parvati Valley, a remote and rugged corner of the Indian Himalayas steeped in mystical tradition yet shrouded in darkness and danger. There, he spent weeks studying under the guidance of a sadhu, an Indian holy man, living and meditating in a cave. At the end of August, accompanied by the sadhu, he set off on a “spiritual journey” to a holy lake—a journey from which he would never return. Lost in the Valley of Death is about one man’s search to find himself, in a country where for many westerners the path to spiritual enlightenment can prove fraught, even treacherous. But it is also a story about all of us and the ways, sometimes extreme, we seek fulfillment in life. Lost in the Valley of Death includes 16 pages of color photographs.
