Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Centennial Sketches, Map and Directory of Union County, Iowa In presenting the Centennial Sketehes, Map and Directory of Union County to the subscribers, we desire to express our appreciation of your good will, co-operation and patronage. The work was undertaken in the belief that such a publication, carefully compiled, was demanded by the citizens of the county, and our later experience has shown our judgment well founded. The topographical part of the work has been carefully, and, we believe, thoroughly performed; and, as a precaution, after the tracings were ready for the engraver's hands, we submitted them to the careful inspection of well-posted residents of the several townships for final correction, before giving them to the lithographer. In this part of the work we have spared neither time nor expense, that we might offer you a correct map of the county. In the sketches of the early history, we have gathered facts and figures from a large number of the old settlers, and, so far as possible, have sought to reconcile occurrences, dates and circumstances, so that all might harmonize. Laying no claims to the qualifications of an author, we have sought to place in a permanent form scraps of early history, which, with the death of the present generation, unless preserved, would be irrecoverably lost. We have invited facts and incidents from a large number of old residents; some have not seen fit to furnish us with the data in their possession, while many others have lent us every assistance in their power; to one and all we extend our hearty acknowledgments for favors received. The Directory is as complete as it is possible to make it, considering the transient character of the inhabitants of some portions of the county. The digest of laws of the State, tabular statements of county growth, personal sketches, and the various other features of the work, we trust, may be found interesting and profitable. A larger number of engravings might have been inserted, but the stringency of the times deterred many from making investments in that direction. We desire especially to express our obligations for information and favors to II. A. Botleman, County Auditor; B. F. Martz, Recorder; Samuel Riggs, J. S. Lytle, J. H. Lemon, G. A. Ide, J. A. White, R. J. McKee, Rev. John Clough, R. C. Carter, W. T. Cornwall, A. C. Cooper, Mrs. Benj. Lamb and family, I. K. White, L. J. Williamson, J. S. Lorimor, William Groesbeck, Henry Groesbeck, Ira Seeley, T. M. Robinson, J. F. Bishop, Geo. W. Emerson, J. D. Spaulding, Dr. J. A. Day, and many others, who will ever have our gratitude and best wishes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does the University of Illinois campus at Urbana-Champaign look as it does today? Drawing on a wealth of research and featuring more than one hundred color photographs, An Illini Place provides an engrossing and beautiful answer to that question. Lex Tate and John Franch trace the story of the university's evolution through its buildings. Oral histories, official reports, dedication programs, and developmental plans both practical and quixotic inform the story. The authors also provide special chapters on campus icons and on the buildings, arenas and other spaces made possible by donors and friends of the university. Adding to the experience is a web companion that includes profiles of the planners, architects, and presidents instrumental in the campus's growth, plus an illustrated inventory of current and former campus plans and buildings.

Download or read book A Lost Lady written by Willa Cather and published by E-Kitap Projesi & Cheapest Books. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Lost Lady is a novel by American author Willa Cather, first published in 1923. It centers on Marian Forrester, her husband Captain Daniel Forrester, and their lives in the small western town of Sweet Water, along the Transcontinental Railroad. However, it is mostly told from the perspective of a young man named Niel Herbert, as he observes the decline of both Marian and the West itself, as it shifts from a place of pioneering spirit to one of corporate exploitation. Exploring themes of social class, money, and the march of progress, A Lost Lady was praised for its vivid use of symbolism and setting, and is considered to be a major influence on the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald. It has been adapted to film twice, with a film adaptation being released in 1924, followed by a looser adaptation in 1934, starring Barbara Stanwyck. A Lost Lady begins in the small railroad town of Sweet Water, on the undeveloped Western plains. The most prominent family in the town is the Forresters, and Marian Forrester is known for her hospitality and kindness. The railroad executives frequently stop by her house and enjoy the food and comfort she offers while there on business. A young boy, Niel Herbert, frequently plays on the Forrester estate with his friend. One day, an older boy named Ivy Peters arrives, and shoots a woodpecker out of a tree. He then blinds the bird and laughs as it flies around helplessly. Niel pities the bird and tries to climb the tree to put it out of its misery, but while climbing he slips, and breaks his arm in the fall, as well as knocking himself unconscious. Ivy takes him to the Forrester house where Marian looks after him. When Niel wakes up, he's amazed by the nice house and how sweet Marian smells. He doesn't't see her much after that, but several years later he and his uncle, Judge Pommeroy, are invited to the Forrester house for dinner. There he meets Ellinger, who he will later learn is Mrs. Forrester's lover, and Constance, a young girl his age.
