Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its founding in 1651 on the western shore of the Delaware River, New Castle and its residents have shared in the making of American history. Known as the first capital of the first state, this charming town watched European powers clash over its control; welcomed William Penn when he first set foot on American soil; participated in the drama of the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War; and reaped the benefits of new technologies like the railroad, steam engine, and aviation. Eventually, trade and commerce moved elsewhere, leaving New Castle preserved and intact. Today, the people of New Castle take great pride in their communitys heritage and enjoy sharing the story of this National Historic Landmark District with others.

  • Pages : 0 pages

Download or read book The Story of Newcastle written by Craig Armstrong and published by Phillimore. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the amazing story of Newcastle upon Tyne's history from earliest times to the modern day. Some of the most pivotal moments in the city's history are recalled, including rebellions, intrigue, trade and religious development. The 16th century brought the dissolution of the monasteries and saw the decline of the wool trade in the town; subsumed by a massive expansion of the coal trade. Besieged and, finally, captured by a 40,000-strong Scottish army during the Civil War the city suffered greatly for its dedication to the monarchist cause. The long 18th century saw Newcastle develop as a city in its own right with an increase in population, wealth and trade, which continued into the 19th century with the Industrial Revolution and the dominance of engineering and heavy industry such as shipbuilding. The 20th century saw Newcastle make massive contributions to the war efforts. However, in times of peace much of this period saw Newcastle's fortunes slump due to industrial contraction and economic depression. The city surged back during the latter years of the 20th century and now stands once more as a cultural hub in the north of England.

Book Gardner  McAnallen  Ralston and Fehrenbach Family History

Download or read book Gardner McAnallen Ralston and Fehrenbach Family History written by Beatrice F. Mansfield and published by Virtualbookworm Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hearing friends talk about their ancestors and genealogical research prompted the author to wonder about her ancestors and started her on a journey that may never end. With the help of distant cousins contacted on the Internet, it was soon apparent that James Gardner of Butler County, Pennsylvania, was her great-great-great-grandfather. But there the trail grew cold. Where was he born and who were his parents? Was he part of the William and Sarah Gardner family that moved from Maryland to the wild frontier of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, either before or during the Revolutionary War? Most of the descendants of James and Martha "Molly" McAnallen Gardner married, had children and brought many other surnames to the Gardner family tree. Among those surnames are Ackerman, Brinkley, Cameron, Cann, Carson, Dover, Duffy, Fehrenbach, Grossman, Harriger, Hoge, Johnson, Mansfield, Marmie, McAnallen, Mershimer, Ott, Rohrer, Shoaf, Teal, Welsh and Wimer. With the help of more research and information from yet unknown cousins, this family tree will continue to grow and spread its branches. Perhaps we will even learn about the ancestors of James Gardner.

Download or read book Newcastle Upon Tyne In 1903 written by Andrew Gill and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early years of the 20th century, Newcastle upon Tyne was growing rapidly in industrial output, population and wealth, due to its coal trade and the manufacture of ships and armaments. It had many fine, historical buildings, including the Castle and Cathedral, and was, therefore, a popular destination for visitors. Tourist guide books were available to help them make the most of their stay and this 110 page book reproduces one of them ..... 'Reid's Sixpenny Hand Book to Newcastle upon Tyne' published in 1903. It provides a fascinating, detailed description of the City during the Edwardian period, with information on its history, trades and industries, bridges, railways, trams, principal streets, districts and much more. The original handbook has lengthy chapters on the Castle and Cathedral but I've excluded these from this book as the information is readily available elsewhere. In addition to the text, I have included 20 historical photographs of Newcastle upon Tyne from the Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive, taken mainly from glass, 'magic lantern' projection slides, dating from the 1890s to the 1920s.The text and photographs complement each other and enable us to travel back in time to visit this important British city over one hundred years ago.

Book Newcastle s Grainger Town

Download or read book Newcastle s Grainger Town written by Fiona Cullen and published by Historic England. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grainger Town is as much an idea as it is a place. It is an important phenomenon, both historically and in today's debate about conservation in our cities and towns. Richard Grainger, a native of Newcastle and a builder and speculator unparalleled in the region, in the middle decades of the 19th century co-ordinated a radical re-planning that turned the town of his birth from an already handsome regional capital to one which excited the admiration of visitors from far and wide. Grainger's particular achievement was to create a new commercial and residential heart within a historic town, a heart with consistent architectural quality starkly different from the piecemeal and eclectic character of most northern industrial cities. This book describes the evolution of the area and explains how recent planning initiatives have celebrated and exploited a unique urban landscape and injected new life into it.

Book New Castle and Mahoningtown

Download or read book New Castle and Mahoningtown written by Anita DeVivo and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006-04-19 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1798, New Castle was a small borough located at the confluence of the Shenango River and Neshannock Creek. Mahoningtown, a small borough located just south of New Castle, was a thriving community founded in 1836. The two towns boasted flourishing industries, and in 1896, a trolley line was created to run between them. In 1898, Mahoningtown officially became the seventh ward of New Castle. By that time, New Castle was a third-class city, and railroads and steel were the areas major industries. Eventually many important products were manufactured here, including both Castleton and Shenango China, which were used in the White House. New Castle became known first as the tinplate capital of the world and, later, as the fireworks capital of the world. The stunning postcards featured in New Castle and Mahoningtown document the fusion of these two communities. Among the memorable views are the diverse scenery and amusements of Cascade Park and the parade for baseball manager Chuck Tanner, who led the Pittsburgh Pirates to their fifth World Series.

Book Inside the Castle

    Book Details:
  • Author : Joanna L. Grossman
  • Publisher : Princeton University Press
  • Release : 2011-07-18
  • ISBN : 1400839777
  • Pages : 456 pages

Download or read book Inside the Castle written by Joanna L. Grossman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-07-18 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive social history of families and family law in twentieth-century America Inside the Castle is a comprehensive social history of twentieth-century family law in the United States. Joanna Grossman and Lawrence Friedman show how vast, oceanic changes in society have reshaped and reconstituted the American family. Women and children have gained rights and powers, and novel forms of family life have emerged. The family has more or less dissolved into a collection of independent individuals with their own wants, desires, and goals. Modern family law, as always, reflects the brute social and cultural facts of family life. The story of family law in the twentieth century is complex. This was the century that said goodbye to common-law marriage and breach-of-promise lawsuits. This was the century, too, of the sexual revolution and women's liberation, of gay rights and cohabitation. Marriage lost its powerful monopoly over legitimate sexual behavior. Couples who lived together without marriage now had certain rights. Gay marriage became legal in a handful of jurisdictions. By the end of the century, no state still prohibited same-sex behavior. Children in many states could legally have two mothers or two fathers. No-fault divorce became cheap and easy. And illegitimacy lost most of its social and legal stigma. These changes were not smooth or linear—all met with resistance and provoked a certain amount of backlash. Families took many forms, some of them new and different, and though buffeted by the winds of change, the family persisted as a central institution in society. Inside the Castle tells the story of that institution, exploring the ways in which law tried to penetrate and control this most mysterious realm of personal life.
