Download or read book Canton written by Marc Kantrowitz and published by Arcadia Library Editions. This book was released on 2000-09 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The town of Canton is a celebration of New England history, from its early days when Paul Revere opened the nation's first copper rolling mill in 1801 to its beautiful nineteenth-century architecture and its economic growth through the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Here, in over 200 rare and striking photographs, the story of Canton unfolds, full of rich tradition and Yankee pride. Canton's reputation as the center of the nation's copper industry helped the town contribute to the young country's history. The first copper plates for the hull of the USS Constitution came from Canton, as did the copper work for the nation's first steam-powered warship. Many of the brass cannons used during the Civil War were also made in this Massachusetts town. Canton will immerse the reader in days gone by, taking a nostalgic look at a time thought by many to be the best. Images of schools, churches, families, police, and firefighters compose a picture of another era, where one can see Canton at work, play, and war.

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Congregational Church and Parish of Canton Center, Formerly West Simsbury: Organized 1750 The historical sermon of Rev. Jairus Burt, preached in 1851, gives the only connected history of the Congregational Church in Canton Center, up to that time. As thirty-five years have since elapsed, it seemed desirable for convenience of reference to bring the history down to the present time; this consideration, added to the fact that Mr. Burt's valuable sermon existing only in manuscript, was in imminent danger of perishing, has been the motive in the preparation of this pamphlet. The compilers have studied the utmost brevity, giving only leading facts, in order the more easily' to bring it within the reach of all the living, both resident in the town, and widely scattered throughout the country, who are interested in the history of this ancient church.

Download or read book The Fan Kwae at Canton written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The 'Fan Kwae' at Canton: Before Treaty Days, 1825-1844 During the days of Old Canton, the Middle Kingdom deigned to suffer the presence of a small number of 'foreign barbarians' on the banks of the Choo, or Pearl River. Their residences consisted of Factories built expressly for them, and originally destined one for each nationality. They were contiguous, except where separated by three streets of narrow dimensions which led from the suburbs of the city to the river which ran in front of them. No other port than that of Canton was open, nor had there been one since 1745, and no foreigner was permitted on any pretext to enter the country or even the city outside of which he lived. The actual relations of the Chinese Government with Western nations consequent upon the treaties have caused such an entire change from the old mode of transacting business, as well as in the life then led by the few foreign residents at Canton, that a narration of the peculiar conditions of both (as they were) is now, as a Chinese official would say, placed 'on record.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hongkong and Canton: A Part of Underwood and Underwood's Stereoscopic Tour Through China It might be of interest to you to know that the begin ning of my itinerary in China follows the conclusion of a year spent in the Philippine Islands, which was marked by all the vicissitudes and experiences of our flag-plant ing in the Orient. When I reached Manila, scarcely had the clanking of the anchor chains ceased when all on board our ship were startled by the sharp popping of Krags and Mausers only-a few miles away. This was soon after the first conflict between the Americans and the insurgents; so that the year following embraced the most important events of our war in the Philippines, during which time I was at the front, not only in Luzon, but also in the southern islands of Panay and Cebu, and made during that time nearly nineteen hundred nega tiyes representing war, life and industrial scenes. Then I proceeded to China, where I stereographed many hundreds of places, though time and space will permit us to visit through the stereoscope only a single hundred, and these will take us to some of the more important treaty ports, some of the0 interior cities of China, and then into the midst of the Boxer uprising, or the war of China against the world; and this, it is hoped, will stimulate a desire to more fully understand this peculiar country and her people.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kwang Tung, Vol. 1: Or Five Years in South China Wang tung, Canton, or the Broad East, is the province of which the City of Rams, known among foreigners as Canton, is the capital. Western traders visited it as early as sixteen hundred years ago, and for centuries it was the only point of contact between China and other countries. At Canton also those events took place which led to the war known as the Opium War, and the consequent breaking down of the nation's exclusiveness. The following chapters contain a description of missionary life and work in this province, together with some informa tion about the history, religions, manners, and customs of the natives; the manufactures and trade of China; town and country life; conditions of travelling in the South; the character of the people and the prospects of Christian missions among them.

Download or read book The Dorchester Book Classic Reprint written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-13 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dorchester Book We all remember the devout Christian who called attention to the divine foresight in providing that the greatest harbors and the largest rivers should be located near the most prominent cities. It was a lack of this foresight on the mortal side which pre vented Dorchester from being the metropolis and Boston the suburb; for Dorchester Bay proved inadequate to the commercial requirements of the early settlers, and a month after the landing a portion of the pioneers established themselves at Shawmut, as Boston was first called. Thus Dorchester, although the first settlement in what is now Suffolk County and the largest town in New England, contributed to the Shawmut settlement the nucleus from which grew the city which finally swallowed it up. In 1666 the town included all the territory of the present towns of Milton, Dedham, Dorchester Heights, Washington Village, Hyde Park, Canton, Stoughton, Sharon, Foxboro, and a part of Wrentham - a site thirty-five miles long, and running to within one hundred and sixty rods of the Rhode Island line. It is a severe portrait which the first two years of the colony present to us. The New England of two hundred and seventy years ago did not offer a kindly settlement to the brave emigrants who sought to break into its austerity. The ground had to be cleared before even the rude huts could be erected, the trees felled before a space could be found to plant the seeds necessary to prevent starvation. On the coast the settlers found nothing to break their desolation. Wet meadows and oozy creeks prevented them from going in one direction, while unfordable tide-water rivers interfered with their progress in another. Utterly ignorant of the character of the country, it is not strange that imagination added to the real terrors which surrounded them, and made them feel that safety was nowhere to be found. Added to this was the terror of rattlesnakes, with which the country swarmed, and of dangerous animals that prowled about by night. The Indians, too, whose disposition toward the white men was entirely unknown, were a source of anxiety night and day.
