Download or read book Dam Foolishness written by Raff Ellis and published by Cune Press, Us. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories in Dam Foolishness are based on the author's life experiences that began in the small village of Carthage, New York, tucked away in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. Carthage lays no claim to uniqueness or any remarkable attributes that would distinguish it from thousands of such hamlets all across America. The author's reminiscences, which led him to pen the short stories contained in Dam Foolishness, were prompted by the memories nearly all of us have as we grow older and ponder our past lives. Anyone who has lived in small town America will likely recognise, or recall, many of the characters written about in this book. As they peruse these well-written tales, readers will also be prompted to take their own journeys into the past and remember the quaintness their own hometowns and the people that populated them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Europe enters a new century of unprecedented prosperity, many beliefs compete to shape the coming years. Pacifism, nationalism, socialism, and other ideas offer a vision of new utopias while older institutions and beliefs struggle to maintain order and relevance. Four young Parisians are caught up in the sweep of historic events that affect their actions as they try to influence the world they have inherited. Their ideals soon clash with older notions more persistent and powerful than imagined. As the century progresses the continent faces crises from old tribal tensions, but with each resolution, Europe appears to draw closer to a new golden age. Then, in the summer of 1914, an unexpected event draws the continent’s most fragile nations into conflict and threatens to undo decades of peace and prosperity. The first in a series, Some Damn Fool Thing portrays the years leading up to the Great War and the people most affected.

Download or read book Big Dams of the New Deal Era written by David P. Billington and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2017-04-20 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The massive dams of the American West were designed to serve multiple purposes: improving navigation, irrigating crops, storing water, controlling floods, and generating hydroelectricity. Their construction also put thousands of people to work during the Great Depression. Only later did the dams’ baneful effects on river ecologies spark public debate. Big Dams of the New Deal Era tells how major water-storage structures were erected in four western river basins. David P. Billington and Donald C. Jackson reveal how engineering science, regional and national politics, perceived public needs, and a river’s natural features intertwined to create distinctive dams within each region. In particular, the authors describe how two federal agencies, the Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation, became key players in the creation of these important public works. By illuminating the mathematical analysis that supported large-scale dam construction, the authors also describe how and why engineers in the 1930s most often opted for massive gravity dams, whose design required enormous quantities of concrete or earth-rock fill for stability. Richly illustrated, Big Dams of the New Deal Era offers a compelling account of how major dams in the New Deal era restructured the landscape—both politically and physically—and why American society in the 1930s embraced them wholeheartedly.

Download or read book Murder and Madness written by Matthew G. Schoenbachler and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2009-11-13 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Kentucky Tragedy" was early America's best known true crime story. In 1825, Jereboam O. Beauchamp assassinated Kentucky attorney general Solomon P. Sharp. The murder, trial, conviction, and execution of the killer, as well as the suicide of his wife, Anna Cooke Beauchamp -- fascinated Americans. The episode became the basis of dozens of novels and plays composed by some of the country's most esteemed literary talents, among them Edgar Allan Poe and William Gilmore Simms. In Murder and Madness, Matthew G. Schoenbachler peels away two centuries of myth to provide a more accurate account of the murder. Schoenbachler also reveals how Jereboam and Anna Beauchamp shaped the meaning and memory of the event by manipulating romantic ideals at the heart of early American society. Concocting a story in which Solomon Sharp had seduced and abandoned Anna, the couple transformed a sordid murder -- committed because the Beauchamps believed Sharp to be spreading a rumor that Anna had had an affair with a family slave -- into a maudlin tale of feminine virtue assailed, honor asserted, and a young rebel's revenge. Murder and Madness reveals the true story behind the murder and demonstrates enduring influence of Romanticism in early America.
