Download or read book The Wreck of the Old 97 written by Larry G. Aaron and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cause and aftermath of the horrific railway disaster, examined by an award-winning historian. With Fast Mail train No. 97 an hour behind schedule, locomotive engineer Steve Broady, according to legend, swore to “put her in Spencer on time” or “put her in Hell.” Through eyewitness reports and court testimonies, historian Larry Aaron expertly pieces together the events of September 27, 1903, at Danville, Virginia, when the Old 97 plummeted off a forty-five-foot trestle into the ravine below. With more twists and turns than the railroad tracks on which the Old 97 ran, this book chronicles the story of one of the most famous train wrecks in American history, as well as the controversy surrounding “The Wreck of the Old 97,” that most famous ballad, which secured the Old 97 a place within the annals of American folklore.
Download or read book Summary of Lee H Whittlesey s Death in Yellowstone written by Everest Media, and published by Everest Media LLC. This book was released on 2022-07-16T22:59:00Z with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In July 1981, David Allen Kirwan, 24, of La Canada, California, and his friend Ronald Ratliff, 25, of Thousand Oaks, parked their truck at Yellowstone’s Fountain Paint Pot parking lot. While they looked at the hot springs, Ratliff’s dog Moosie escaped and jumped into nearby Celestine Pool. Kirwan went into the pool to save the dog. #2 The idea of being boiled to death in a hot spring is a truly terrifying one for any rational person. However, this has happened more frequently in Yellowstone National Park than it has with grizzly bears. #3 The number of tourists in Yellowstone Park increased as it became more accessible, and so did the chances of visitor injury. In 1882, a traveler named Walter Watson fell into a long and deep geyser tube, while accompanied by three other men, who gave him up for dead and left. #4 In the 1880s, hot-spring injuries began to occur in greater numbers as visitors to Yellowstone increased. A Mr. Crossman was scalded in the Fountain Paintpot in 1884, a young boy in the same summer who convalesced at Marshall’s Hotel, and another man in the Artists’ Paintpots in 1888.

Download or read book Free Fire written by C. J. Box and published by Atlantic Books Ltd. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joe Pickett, recently fired from his job as a Wyoming game warden, is working on his father-in-law's ranch when he receives a visit from the governor. Governor Rulon - a devious but down-home politico - has a special request, one Joe knows he can't refuse. For weeks, the headlines have been abuzz with the story of Clay McCann, a lawyer who slaughtered four campers in a far-off corner of Yellowstone. After the murders, McCann immediately turned himself in at the nearest ranger station. Seemed like a slam-dunk case for law enforcement - except that the crimes were committed in a thin sliver of land with zero residents and overlapping jurisdiction, the so-called free-fire zone. McCann has taken advantage of an obscure loophole in the law: neither the state nor the federal government can try him for his crime. The worst mass murderer in Wyoming history walks out of jail a free man. Governor Rulon, sensitive to the rising tide of public outrage, wants his own investigation into the murders and will reinstate Joe as a game warden if he'll go to Yellowstone "without portfolio" to investigate. Joe, happy to get his badge back, even under these circumstances, agrees. It quickly becomes clear to Joe that McCann is deeply involved with some illegal activity taking place in the park - something tremendously lucrative and unusually dangerous. As Joe and his partner Nate Romanowski search for the key to the murders, they discover that it may be hidden in the rugged terrain of the park itself.
Download or read book Rediscovering Wonderland written by M. Mark Miller and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the nineteenth century people could gain fame and fortune by “discovering” and documenting things that were already known to exist like the source of the Nile and the North Pole. For decades trappers and prospectors had told about the wonders of the area that became Yellowstone Park, but no credible person had written about the falls, canyons, and geysers there. An ambitious politician, Nathaniel P. Langford, decided to make his name by promoting an expedition and publicizing its activities in 1870. An army lieutenant named Gustavus Doane maneuvered to lead the expedition’s army escort for the same reason. Their written accounts of the big “discovery” of Wonderland were the basis for the park’s founding in 1872. Rediscovering Wonderland brings together the words of these men, along with images of the expedition, to provide historical context for the exploration and founding of America’s first national park.

Download or read book Down the Up Escalator written by Barbara Garson and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of our most incisive and committed journalists—author of the classic All the Livelong Day—shows us the real human cost of our economic follies. The Great Recession has thrown huge economic challenges at almost all Americans save the super-affluent few, and we are only now beginning to reckon up the human toll it is taking. Down the Up Escalator is an urgent dispatch from the front lines of our vast collective struggle to keep our heads above water and maybe even—someday—get ahead. Garson has interviewed an economically and geographically wide variety of Americans to show the painful waste in all this loss and insecurity, and describe how individuals are coping. Her broader historical focus, though, is on the causes and consequences of the long stagnation of wages and how it has resulted in an increasingly desperate reliance on credit and a series of ever-larger bubbles—stocks, technology, real estate. This is no way to run an economy, or a democracy.
