Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anxiously awaiting his father's return from the warfront, a 9 year old Central Florida boy is instead witness to a most unusual occurrence, a military officer delivering a mule to his mother. A mule! What happened to his father? Fast forward 20 years, and Othman Rutland is still haunted by that childhood memory. Four fatherless children at war's end, four orphans by 1870, now, he and younger sister Sarah are all that remain of a family of six. Determined to learn what happened to his father, Othman sets out on a life-altering journey. Traveling to Rutledge in 1885, he visits with a retired General, where he begins to collect tiny fragments of a past others would prefer to forget. Learning of the Navy's 1864 landing at Lake Monroe during the close of America's Civil War, Othman's search leads next to Ohio's State Capital, and then to the sacred chambers of a stunning new Pensions Building at our Nation's Capital. Ultimately, Othman's search exposes a file folder, U. S. Provost Marshal's Papers correspondence of the 1860's. A historical novel, The Rutland Mule Matter reveals a true-life story of an early Central Floridian, a statesman, a man who was eradicated from the pages of history. And that man's son, Othman Rutland, finally knowing why his father disappeared, is now faced with a new dilemma, what to do with his disturbing discovery?
Download or read book The Rutland Road written by Jim Shaughnessy and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1997-03-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One would be challenged to find a railroad to compare scenically and historically with the Rutland Railroad. With Yankee persistence, it struggled for its existence in the snows of Vermont and northern New York for more than one hundred years. Running through territory amply covered by larger and stronger lines, it survived bankruptcy, receivership, flood, unequal competition, seizure, depression, and strikes. Its vestigial remains operate in a small area to this day. Jim Shaughnessy—award-winning railroad photographer and authority—discusses the Rutland's entire history thoroughly, from preconstrnction in 1831 to the present. In this updated edition, the author covers the history of the three lines that continued to operate after the demise of the Rutland Railroad-the Vermont Railway, the Green Mountain Railroad, and the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority. Lavishly illustrated with more than 500 incomparable photographs (including those by railroad photographer Philip R. Hastings), The Rutland Road has other features for the railroad enthusiast and historian alike: maps, charts, reproductions of advertisements, a detailed index with engine rosters, a chronology of the Rutland Railroad, and other significant statistical information.

Download or read book Rutland Place written by Anne Perry and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2011-06-14 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mystery set in Victorian England by the New York Times–bestselling author whose “novels attain the societal sweep of Trollope or Thackeray” (Booklist, starred review). When her mother asks her help in finding a lost locket with a compromising picture, neither Charlotte Pitt, nor her mother, has any idea that the locket may be at the center of a bizarre chain of events leading to murder. Arriving at her mother’s home at Rutland Place, Charlotte discovers that other residents of the exclusive neighborhood have also suffered similar small thefts. It all appears quite mild as crimes go—a light-fingered servant, perhaps. That is, until Mina Spencer-Brown, a woman known for her prying, is poisoned and dies. Inspector Thomas Pitt quickly surmises that Mina’s snooping might have led to her murder, but what secrets had she stumbled upon? And whose? As Pitt patiently struggles to break down the protective silence of high-born neighbors, Charlotte works behind the closed doors of society’s drawing rooms to help unravel a mystery that reveals sordid secrets and the chilling, dark corners of human behavior.
