Download or read book Elusive Treasures written by Dell R. Foutz and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-08-20 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I started to write this book, I was advised by wise friends not to tell the stories in the first person. However, much of the book is autobiographical, and I felt compelled to write it in first person. I hope it is not a disaster. The various episodes in the book range from absolutely true from start to finish, to a few that start with a real incident but wander off into fiction. One story is entire fantasy.

Download or read book Wax Trash and Vinyl Treasures Record Collecting as a Social Practice written by Roy Shuker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term 'record collecting' is shorthand for a variety of related practices. Foremost is the collection of sound recordings in various formats - although often with a marked preference for vinyl - by individuals, and it is this dimension of record collecting that is the focus of this book. Record collecting, and the public stereotypes associated with it, is frequently linked primarily with rock and pop music. Roy Shuker focuses on these broad styles, but also includes other genres and their collectors, notably jazz, blues, exotica and 'ethnic' music. Accordingly, the study examines the history of record collecting; profiles collectors and the collecting process; considers categories - especially music genres - and types of record collecting and outlines and discusses the infrastructure within which collecting operates. Shuker situates this discussion within the broader literature on collecting, along with issues of cultural consumption, social identity and 'the construction of self' in contemporary society. Record collecting is both fascinating in its own right, and provides insights into broader issues of nostalgia, consumption and material culture.

Download or read book Awash in a Sea of Faith written by Jon Butler and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging the formidable tradition that places early New England Puritanism at the center of the American religious experience, Yale historian Jon Butler offers a new interpretation of three hundred years of religious and cultural development. Butler stresses the instability of religion in Europe where state churches battled dissenters, magic, and astonishingly low church participation. He charts the transfer of these difficulties to America, including the failure of Puritan religious models, and describes the surprising advance of religious commitment there between 1700 and 1865. Through the assertion of authority and coercion, a remarkable sacralization of the prerevolutionary countryside, advancing religious pluralism, the folklorization of magic, and an eclectic, syncretistic emphasis on supernatural interventionism, including miracles, America emerged after 1800 as an extraordinary spiritual hothouse that far eclipsed the Puritan achievement--even as secularism triumphed in Europe. Awash in a Sea of Faith ranges from popular piety to magic, from anxious revolutionary war chaplains to the cool rationalism of James Madison, from divining rods and seer stones to Anglican and Unitarian elites, and from Virginia Anglican occultists and Presbyterians raised from the dead to Jonathan Edwards, Joseph Smith, and Abraham Lincoln. Butler deftly comes to terms with conventional themes such as Puritanism, witchcraft, religion and revolution, revivalism, millenarianism, and Mormonism. His elucidation of Christianity's powerful role in shaping slavery and of a subsequent African spiritual "holocaust," with its ironic result in African Christianization, is an especially fresh and incisive account. Awash in a Sea of Faith reveals the proliferation of American religious expression--not its decline--and stresses the creative tensions between pulpit and pew across three hundred years of social maturation. Striking in its breadth and deeply rooted in primary sources, this seminal book recasts the landscape of American religious and cultural history.

Download or read book The Lost Canyon of Gold written by W.C. Jameson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join the Search for Lost Treasure First popularized by folklorist and author J. Frank Dobie in his book Apache Gold and Yaqui Silver in 1928, the legend of the Lost Adams Diggings is one of the most mythologized tales of lost treasure on the continent. In the 1860s, Gold was taken from Adams’ canyon in enormous quantities, with nuggets ranging from dust-size to some as large as hen’s eggs, all being plucked from the bottom of a shallow stream. This true story of the Lost Adams Diggings starts with the discovery of the rich deposit of gold in a remote mountain range, and ends with the author’s own story of search and discovery in the twentieth century.

Download or read book in a Manor of Speaking written by Joan McNamee and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even after twenty years, the tight-knit Ontario community of Long Point County remains haunted by the tragic Lake Erie shipwreck that took place just off its coast in 1852. Several of its survivors still live among them even now, having been adopted into local families after washing ashore. Even the sunken wreckage of the ship itself had changed lives, and not for the better—most notably that of one of its most promising young men, drawn by the dangerous lure of its rumoured treasures. Still, no one in town had been more affected by the tragedy than local historian Becky McCormack. She’d dedicated the past two decades of her life to intensive research in the hopes of uncovering, at last, the identities of each person who’d been lost on that horrible day and ensuring that none would remain unmourned or forgotten, whether buried namelessly in the local cemetery or lost to Lake Erie’s unforgiving waters. No longer young by anybody’s standards, and with dementia beginning to sink its claws into her once razor-sharp mind, Becky’s family and friends can now only hope that she’ll finish her life’s work before it’s too late, attaining the closure and peace she’s sought on behalf of others for so long. And in doing so ... finally reclaim her own.
