Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the winding ways of the Congaree, the Broad and the Saluda through history, and learn how three splendid and historic waterways shaped the industries and communities of Columbia. The history of Columbia dates to 1786, when the South Carolina General Assembly moved the seat of government from Charleston to a plateau overlooking the Congaree River at the confluence of the Broad and Saluda. These three rivers helped transport people and goods, power textile mills, generate energy and support a growing community. Now, former industrial sites are giving way to recreational areas, and the heritage and natural beauty of the rivers emerge afresh. Author and photographer Vennie Deas-Moore captures both the beauty and the history of these waterways in this lovely volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Columbia sits on hills overlooking the Congaree, Saluda and Broad Rivers. The name evokes sanctuary and the American spirit. Its central location in the state makes it the meeting place of the Upstate and the Lowcountry. The all-American city sprang from wilderness, frame buildings and unpaved streets and valiantly responded to the challenges of change. The city was created by the legislature to be the capital and reflects the "ambitions and fortunes" of South Carolina. Columbia is a diverse city that serves as an educational incubator, a magnet for immigrants, a military center and a place to celebrate the arts. Follow author Alexia Jones Helsley as she weaves together the strands of Columbia's long and eventful past.

Download or read book The Columbia River Its History Its Myths Its Scenery Its Commerce written by William Denison Lyman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Columbia River Its History, Its Myths, Its Scenery Its Commerce The kindly reception accorded to this book, by which all of the first edition and nearly all of the second have passed into the hands of readers, has led author and publishers to believe that there is such a continuing demands as to justify a new edition. There are relatively few changes. Such errors as appeared in the earlier editions have been corrected, so far as discovered. A few paragraphs have been rewritten. The new features will be found to embody developments on and in connection with the River since the first publication. The chief additional points of interest are: the completion of the Celilo Canal; the continuance of the jetties at the River mouth and systematic dredging by which a depth of forty feet at low tide has been secured; the inauguration of an era of ship-building during the present year; and, most interesting of all to the general public, the Columbia Scenic Highway, one of the noblest works of the kind in the world. These interesting improvements make the wonders of the Columbia more available to the tourist, but the great features, - the lakes, the rapids, the snow-peaks, the cliffs, the waterfalls, the solemn forests, - these all exist as in Creation's dawn, and the human works are, after all, merely accessory.
