Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Washington Historical Quarterly, Vol. 1: October, 1906 In the Pacific Northwest - composed for historical purposes of Oregon, Washington and Idaho - \vashington is the most rep resentative of them all. She has practically as many Indian and American names, and more English, Spanish and French names than either of the other two states. Oregon has a few Spanish names; Idaho has none; both Oregon and Idaho have a few French terms. ()wing to the presence and activity of the Hud son's Bay Company, \vashington has more designations of Eng lish and Indian sources due to the Englishmen than either of the other states. Indian names are well scattered through them all: while both Indian and American, in their proportion in the three states, depend upon the demand for names bv the increasing population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Washington Historical Quarterly, Vol. 1: October, 1906; Issued Quarterly The geographical names in the United States are derived from two great sources: Indian and European. Among the first ex plorers and settlers the former dominated; with the second gen cration of colonists the European names began to dominate. These early colonists looked to their European homes and per sonages for Plymouth, Boston, Albemarle, St. Mary's, Ft. Chris tina, New Rochelle, New Orleans, St. Louis, Santa Fe; or else from their own languages derived names indicative of local con ditions or feelings: Providence, Philadelphia. \vhen these set tlements themselves began to send OH scions to the upper waters of the Atlantic streams or into the transallegheny country, new names were taken from a variety of sources; from the old Euro pean places and personages, from Greece, Rome, or from classical compositions, e. G. Louisville, Athens, Rome, Oxford, Gallipolis. The Indian names were taken from the local Indian designations, and today stand as monuments to the natives' haunts and homes and as milestones to their westward movement before the coming white man. As the white man came his names told of the fond recollections of his distant home but as he penetrated the wilder ness and the mountains, these recollections dim and finally fade, to be replaced from the new native home in the old Atlantic col onies. Yet the names scattered from the Alleghenies to the Pacific by the constant stream of colonizing immigrants tell of the nomenclatural geneology; the Swede, Italian and German, the Russian, Dutch and Pole, even in our own days repeat the christening of the cavalier and Puritan.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Washington Historical Quarterly, 1915, Vol. 6 Turning now to the sources of the Columbia, an interesting contrast exists between the beginning of trade there with that on the upper Mis souri River across the Rocky Mountain range. Manual Lisa is the name prominently connected with the Missouri River at'that period; immediately following the return of the Lewis and Clark Expedition Lisa built a trad ing post on the Yellowstone River at themouth of the Big Horn and began to purchase furs for transport to St. Louis; that was during the summer of 1807. At the same time David Thompson, a partner offthe Northwest Company of Canada, was building an. Establishment at the head waters of the Columbia, from which he transported furs to the Rainy Lakes; and fort'william on Lake Superior. Manual Lisa had troubles With snags and Indians along the Missouri and was resourceful to overcome them. David Thompson experienced even greater difficulties in crossing the Rocky Mountains and descending the long course of the Saskatchewan River to Lake Winnipeg. David Thompson is one of the most remarkable figures connected with the history of the Columbia River; the record of his career written with his own hand is not only of great scientific value, but an ih spiration to any earnest student of the history of this Pacific Northwest. He has been described as the greatest land geographer the English race has ever produced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Sleepwalkers written by Christopher Clark and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A monumental new volume. . . . Revelatory, even revolutionary. . . . Clark has done a masterful job explaining the inexplicable.” — Boston Globe One of The New York Times Book Review’s 10 Best Books of the Year • Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize (History) Historian Christopher Clark’s riveting account of the explosive beginnings of World War I. Drawing on new scholarship, Clark offers a fresh look at World War I, focusing not on the battles and atrocities of the war itself, but on the complex events and relationships that led a group of well-meaning leaders into brutal conflict. Clark traces the paths to war in a minute-by-minute, action-packed narrative that cuts between the key decision centers in Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Paris, London, and Belgrade, and examines the decades of history that informed the events of 1914 and details the mutual misunderstandings and unintended signals that drove the crisis forward in a few short weeks. Meticulously researched and masterfully written, The Sleepwalkers is a dramatic and authoritative chronicle of Europe’s descent into a war that tore the world apart.
Download or read book July 1914 written by Sean McMeekin and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a Serbian-backed assassin gunned down Archduke Franz Ferdinand in late June 1914, the world seemed unmoved. Even Ferdinand's own uncle, Franz Josef I, was notably ambivalent about the death of the Hapsburg heir, saying simply, "It is God's will." Certainly, there was nothing to suggest that the episode would lead to conflict -- much less a world war of such massive and horrific proportions that it would fundamentally reshape the course of human events. As acclaimed historian Sean McMeekin reveals in July 1914, World War I might have been avoided entirely had it not been for a small group of statesmen who, in the month after the assassination, plotted to use Ferdinand's murder as the trigger for a long-awaited showdown in Europe. The primary culprits, moreover, have long escaped blame. While most accounts of the war's outbreak place the bulk of responsibility on German and Austro-Hungarian militarism, McMeekin draws on surprising new evidence from archives across Europe to show that the worst offenders were actually to be found in Russia and France, whose belligerence and duplicity ensured that war was inevitable. Whether they plotted for war or rode the whirlwind nearly blind, each of the men involved -- from Austrian Foreign Minister Leopold von Berchtold and German Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Sazonov and French president Raymond Poincaré- sought to capitalize on the fallout from Ferdinand's murder, unwittingly leading Europe toward the greatest cataclysm it had ever seen. A revolutionary account of the genesis of World War I, July 1914 tells the gripping story of Europe's countdown to war from the bloody opening act on June 28th to Britain's final plunge on August 4th, showing how a single month -- and a handful of men -- changed the course of the twentieth century.

It was a wish to break the ice. For them it did break the ice; all responded to it with a smile or with other play of the features that meant gracious recognition. With her the ice remained unbroken: she with held all response to the humane overture.
