Book excerpt: Excerpt from Picture of Philadelphia, for 1824: Containing the Picture of Philadelphia, for 1811, by James Mease, M. D. With All Its Improvements Since That Period Spring Garden embraces all the incorporated part of the suburbs west of Sixth, and north of Vine-street, and Kensington is a district north again of the Northern Liberties, from which it is divided, as has been already stated, by Cohocksink creek, to which it is connected by several bridges, built of brick or stone, and one of wood. In process of time this creek will undoubtedly share the fate of that over which Dock-street is now built. Southwark (incorporated) and Moyamensing are its southern suburbs, and Hamilton Village its western, connected with the city by the Permanent Bridge. The defences of the city against an invading army by water, are fort Mifflin, formerly Mud fort, erected on an island eight miles below. The course of the channel compels all vessels bound up to come within point blank range of its cannon. This fort is an embankment well constructed and faced with hewn stone and brick, furnished with salient angles, bomb-proof, &c. furnaces for heating shot, and well supplied with heavy ordinance, and a competent garrison: - and a very large and expensive fortification on an efficient and liberal plan, not yet completed., on a small island called the Pea-Patch, situated a few miles below New Castle. These, in a complete state of repair, properly garrisoned, munitioned and provided for, render Philadelphia unassailable by water. The population of the built parts of Philadelphia and suburbs, according to the marshall's return in 1820, was 114,410, and in 1810,92,885, making an increase, during ten years, of 21,524. For its anterior progressive state the reader is referred to Dr. Meases Picture subjoined. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book recreates the daily lives of laboring men and women in America's premier urban center during the second half of the eighteenth century. Billy G. Smith demonstrates how the "lower sort" (as they were called by their contemporaries) struggled to carve out meaningful lives during an era of vast change stretching from the Seven Years' War, through the turbulent events surrounding the American Revolution and the U.S. Constitution, into the first decade of the new nation.
Download or read book The Urban Department Store in America 1850 930 written by Louisa Iarocci and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth century, the urban department store arose as a built artifact and as a social institution in the United States. While the physical building type is the foundation of this comprehensive architectural study, Louisa Iarocci reaches beyond the analysis of the bricks and mortar to reconsider how the ?spaces of selling? were culturally-produced spaces, as well as the product of interrelated economic, social, technological and aesthetic forces. The agenda of the book is three-fold; to address the lack of a comprehensive architectural study of the nineteenth century department store in the United States; to expand the analysis of the commercial city as a built and represented entity; and to continue recent scholarly efforts that seek to understand commercial space as a historically specific and a conceptually perceived construct. The Urban Department Store in America, 1850-1930 acts as a corrective to a current imbalance in the historiography of this retailing institution that tends to privilege its role as an autonomous ?modern? building type. Instead, Iarocci documents the development of the department store as an urban institution that grew out of the built space of the city and the lived spaces of its occupants.

Download or read book The Linda Wolfe Collection written by Linda Wolfe and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 1014 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five torn-from-the-headlines true crime books from an Edgar Award–nominated author and “one of our best reporters” (John Leonard). Linda Wolfe delves deep into the crimes that defy explanation—and the twisted minds of those who commit them. In these five books, she combines masterful storytelling with brilliant psychological insight. Wasted: On an August night in 1986, Jennifer Levin left a Manhattan bar with Robert Chambers. The next morning, her strangled, battered body was found in Central Park. This New York Times Notable Book provides a “fascinating, horrifying, and heart-breaking” account of the so-called Preppie Murder, the crime that shocked a city and a nation (Ann Rule). The Professor and the Prostitute: The chilling case of a college professor who bludgeoned to death the prostitute he loved—plus eight other true crimes, including the bizarre story of the Marcus brothers, twin gynecologists, that inspired the David Cronenberg film Dead Ringers. Double Life: The riveting story of how the chief judge of the New York State Court of Appeals was brought down by his sexual obsession with a stunning socialite. The Murder of Dr. Chapman: Wolfe skillfully weaves court transcripts, love letters, and period recollections into an edge-of-your-seat historical thriller about a notorious crime of passion that rocked pre–Civil War America. Love Me to Death: Wolfe embarks on a search for the serial killer who murdered her friend in this “intriguing insider’s look into the convoluted mind of a killer” (The Plain Dealer).

Download or read book A David Montgomery Reader written by David W. Montgomery and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2024-07-09 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A foundational figure in modern labor history, David Montgomery both redefined and reoriented the field. This collection of Montgomery’s most important published and unpublished articles and essays draws from the historian’s entire five-decade career. Taken together, the writings trace the development of Montgomery’s distinct voice and approach while providing a crucial window into an era that changed the ways scholars and the public understood working people’s place in American history. Three overarching themes and methods emerge from these essays: that class provided a rich reservoir of ideas and strategies for workers to build movements aimed at claiming their democratic rights; that capital endured with the power to manage the contours of economic life and the capacities of the state but that workers repeatedly and creatively mounted challenges to the terms of life and work dictated by capital; and that Montgomery’s method grounded his gritty empiricism and the conceptual richness of his analysis in the intimate social relations of production and of community, neighborhood, and family life.
