Book Henry Pilcher s Sons  Opus List and Historical Sketch

Download or read book Henry Pilcher s Sons Opus List and Historical Sketch written by Bynum Petty and published by LULU. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Pilcher constructed his first pipe organ in Dover, England, in 1820. Over a period of almost 125 years, four generations of family members-working first in England and then in the United States-built Henry Pilcher's Sons Organ Company into a business known for its high manufacturing standards. The institution they created placed organs throughout the United States and only saw its end with the outbreak of World War II. This reference volume, rich with previously undiscovered source material, presents a historical synopsis of the family business. Also included is the opus list of Pilcher organs, arranged both chronologically and by region, and published here for the first time. A vital source for Pilcher organ historians and admirers, this volume offers useful data for anyone seeking historical background or information on specific Pilcher organs.

Download or read book Outpost of the Sioux Wars written by Frank N. Schubert and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1874, Fort Robinson was founded amid the piney ridges of northwest Nebraska to stem the attacks of the Sioux, angered by settlers encroaching on the High Plains and by gold prospectors invading their sacred Black Hills. Fort Robinson’s residents—including black troops, members of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry Regiments—were divided by rank and sometimes by race. Schubert makes clear the vital importance of Fort Robinson during the Sioux wars, including the Ghost Dance Uprisings of 1890, and he blends social analysis with military history in his concern for the families of soldiers and civilians.

Download or read book Soldiers and Civilians written by Garry D. Ryan and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 1987 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In recent years a new military history has emerged in American scholar- ship. This new history, in contrast with the traditional 'drum and trumpet' version of America's martial past, concentrating on operations and commanders, emphasizes the development of the military as an institution and its interrelationship with the rest of American society. Some practitioners of the new military history have been influenced by social science concepts and methodology, especially sociological. Others have relied on more traditional means of historical research, analysis, and writing. Regardless of the approach taken, an appreciation of the impact of the military on American life throughout our history is implicit in all of this recent scholarship"--Pref.

Book Buffalo Soldiers  Braves  and the Brass

Download or read book Buffalo Soldiers Braves and the Brass written by Frank N. Schubert and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although focusing on those men, women, and children stationed at the fort, the author also examines their impact on the neighboring town of Crawford. Those civilians depended on military spending in both traditional and novel ways. War Department expenditures stimulated business and brought some residents power and profit while the money the soldiers spent on whisky and sex helped support municipal government through saloon and prostitution taxes. Indeed, when the garrison was called away for the Spanish-American War in 1898, the town's revenues plummetted. Because Fort Robinson housed black troops for many years, race relations formed a significant part of the post's history. The black Ninth and Tenth Cavalry Regiments, both of which earned reputations for skill and reliability in the Indian Wars before coming to the fort, spent several years on post.
