Download or read book Pittsfield written by Sears Chester Lyon and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pittsfield: The Gem City of Berkshire The object of this booklet is to assist the visitor - the stranger - to a ready familiarity with Pittsfield, its environments, its points of interest and some of the interesting facts of its history. Pittsfield's fame is widespread and the term "Gem City" by which it is known, is most fittingly applied. Few cities are more beautifully located, few can boast of such charming surroundings, few are more delightful in all ways. The city's first claim to distinction arises from its natural beauty, a beauty which has been vastly enhanced by its inhabitants. But it has a sure claim to prominence by reason of its thrift and industry, and, as a manufacturing center, it is progressing steadily and surely. One very notable thing about Pittsfield is the fact that while it is a manufacturing town in the real sense, yet its industries are entirely unobtrusive, being located on the outskirts of the city where they detract nothing from the charm of the place. The city possesses many advantages as a place of manufacture, and its railroad facilities are of the best. As a place of residence it is unsurpassed, possessing as it does the advantages of the modern municipality coupled with all the delights of the country.

Download or read book The Place Names of Berkshire Classic Reprint written by Walter W. Skeat and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Place-Names of Berkshire In 1901 my essay on 'The Place-names of Cambridgeshire' was published for the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, and a little later the same Society published my similar essay on 'The Place-names of Huntingdonshire'. In 1906 they published my 'Place-names of Bedfordshire'. In 1904 the East Herts. Archaeological Society published for me a somewhat larger pamphlet on 'The Place-names of Hertfordshire'. After thus completing some account of the place-names of these four counties, it occurred to me to investigate those of Berkshire. I was inclined to this by two considerations. The first, that it is not a very large county in itself; and secondly, that Birch's edition of Anglo-Saxon Charters contains a considerable number that refer to this county, so that the Anglo-Saxon spellings of a rather large proportion of the names arc readily accessible. It is necessary to repeat here some of the considerations which it is desirable for the student to know. 1. The place-names of Berkshire are nearly all of native English origin; and are formed in strict accordance with the rules of Anglo-Saxon grammar. 2. They are nearly all of one of two types. Either they are significant of possession, like SparshoAbout the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through the Housatonic Valley to the Hills and Homes of Berkshire Rough quarries, rocks and hills, Whose heads touch Heaven, from the thrifty land of wooden nutmegs, through almost the entire reach of Berkshire's limits, to the quiet region where it finds its source so near the summit of rugged hill-tops that from the places where ema nate the bubbling springs which form the river's source, the mountain ranges and hills of the Green Mountain State bend low and make their obeisance to the blending beauty of their southern neighbors. Of the Housatonic river, it is written by one who had canoed its whole length, from its laughing streamlets among the mountains to its open mouth down by the sea, in appreciative words like these: A river is a poem. If 9? An epic is likely, however, to grow tire some; a river, never. If if The Housatonic river, the finest of poems, -is the chief ornament of Berkshire county, the finest of prose.

It occasionally happened that this contained besides the legitimate contents, a live crayfish or some other equally in teresting Natural History specimen; and when this was the case, the language wherewith the cheery old postman who announced his departure each evening by a blast on his horn, expressed his opinion of the rising generation, was apt to be more forcible than polite.
