Download or read book Berwick upon Tweed written by Adam Menuge and published by Informed Conservation. This book was released on 2009 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nikolaus Pevsner described Berwick-upon-Tweed as 'one of the most exciting towns in England' [Nikolaus Pevsner, Buildings of England: Northumberland (1957), 88] - a place where an absorbing historical tale can still be read in the dense fabric of its old streets and buildings. It attracts not only day-trippers and holidaymakers but also new residents who have learnt to appreciate the spirit of the place. But outsiders all too easily confine their attention to the space within the impressive Elizabethan ramparts, while local people are sometimes unaware or dismissive of the wider significance of the very things that they know so intimately. Berwick deserves to be known better, and to be celebrated not just as a vivid reminder of what many other towns were once like, but more especially as something unique and distinctive, shaped by a peculiar combination of historical and geographical circumstances. This distinctiveness is acutely apparent as one passes between Berwick and the contrasting, but historically intertwined, settlements of Tweedmouth and Spittal. This book presents something of the wealth of historic interest encapsulated in Berwick, Tweedmouth and Spittal, and explains how these places came to assume such varied and distinctive forms. Above all, it urges that a town anxious for stability and prosperity in the future must know where it has come from as well as where it is going.

Download or read book Almost Chosen People written by Michael Zuckerman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1993-04-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few historians are bold enough to go after America's sacred cows in their very own pastures. But Michael Zuckerman is no ordinary historian, and this collection of his essays is no ordinary book. In his effort to remake the meaning of the American tradition, Zuckerman takes the entire sweep of American history for his province. The essays in this collection, including two never before published and a new autobiographical introduction, range from early New England settlements to the hallowed corridors of modern Washington. Among his subjects are Puritans and Southern gentry, Benjamin Franklin and Benjamin Spock, P. T. Barnum and Ronald Reagan. Collecting scammers and scoundrels, racists and rebels, as well as the purest genius, he writes to capture the unadorned American character. Recognized for his energy, eloquence, and iconoclasm, Zuckerman is known for provoking—and sometimes almost seducing—historians into rethinking their most cherished assumptions about the American past. Now his many fans, and readers of every persuasion, can newly appreciate the distinctive talents of one of America's most powerful social critics.

Book excerpt: The business of naming is as old as language itself. The names a town bestows on its rivers and river banks, streets, buildings and other landmarks provide a window into the soul of that town, through the history it chooses to celebrate. In 1623, the first settlers arrived in what would one day be known as Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Native Americans in these parts already had a name for the swift flowing Piscataqua River. The settlers took over from there. Delighted with the vegetation they found, they named their new home Strawbery Banke. Join Portsmouth writer, artist and amateur historian Nancy Grossman for an informative and entertaining stroll through the town's historic South End and downtown, its Victorian neighborhoods and the newer streets of the 20th century - and beyond. 466 Streets, 253 Images, 16 Maps Meet a colorful array of Portsmouth's citizens - heroes, heroines, everyday folks and pillars of the community, even the odd scoundrel. Visitors from 'away' have made their mark too, but let there be no mistake - this is a Portsmouth story, through and through.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frederick Law Olmsted and others saw the landscape as it was and enhanced it, instead of imposing rigid design upon it. Groundbreaking landscape architects Beatrix Farrand and Fletcher Steele, among others, were brought to Maine by patrons, and the resulting public parks, campuses, institutional grounds, and private estates remain a priceless legacy.

Download or read book The Old Town of Berwick written by Sarah Orne Jewett and published by . This book was released on 1894 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarah Orne Jewett wrote this history of her hometown, South Berwick, Maine, placing an emphasis on the years before 1814. Accompanied by numerous illustrations, this article was first published in New England Magazine and was subsequently reissued in a separately bound edition. Jewett's father often advised her to write what she knew, and her descriptions of the people and land of South Berwick are both entertaining and accurate. Because so many of her stories are concerned with the unique people and culture of rural Maine, this book offers a fascinating look behind the scenes of Jewett's fiction.
