This is know as Amish Town to some. The Race is a Major Event . It is entertainment among the Amish and English people of the Pennsylvania Lancaster County. On my travels through Pennsylvania town of Lancaster County in 1997. What I discovered was very interesting to me. I noticed an entertainment event that is in desperate in need of being established, developed , A major event in order for Buggy’s to be Raced around a Farm. With tracks outlined. I saw this a an Idea at first. Then I began to explore the idea a bit more. This Race is definitely needed for it's entertainment value. Buggy's need to be raced apart from being the major transport. They are the major transport function I understood this. They do have other purposes. Entertainment is my idea for one. Who can drive a buggy. Mainly Men in the Race. It not uncommon to see a woman driving a Buggy in the Race. Amish men, and woman are social people they need to get together, and they believe there system works for them. They are Farmers, and produce food from their Farms. They are business owners and have expanded out into services business. There is a big demand for Amish Food grown on the farms. What is known is that during the pandemic the demand for Amish food was enormous. Given that the Amish are America's oldest Amish settlement, where 350.000 still live a lifestyle based on a set of rules or Ordenem. There belief system has intrigues me. Government, Educational, Health systems. They do not seem interested in and stay away from the process . They have independent systems work in harmony for them. There own schools. They do not take social security. They pay for there own medical. Social services, and Education. They save there money I am told.The idea of a Buggy race is not Just a plane old Race of Buggy’s. Based on my Journey through Pennsylvania Lancaster County. My imagination got really wound up with the Buggy Race idea. This is my fictional story is about a major Buggy Race. It has an action packed performance held once a year on a make shift Farm. The Farm is stations with tracks that are circular around a large Farm building. The Race of buggy's has to circumvent the Farm building 7 times. The distance is half a miles or 1k. It is my understanding the rewards are impressive. There is some serious money allocated to the buggy Race for the winner of the Race. Prize money is quite large. There is a big rummage Garage sale prior to the Buggy race. This Large rummage Garage Sale raises Funds in large amount $$ for the winner of the Buggy Race. That $$ amount is never disclosed as it is a secret among the Elders of the church. My story begins with an Amish man from Germany in the Town of Bremen North of Germany. His Name is Michael. G, and he is the son of a Farmer. Called Jacob. His brother, Willis has requested help from his family in Germany, and has asked Willis to send his Son to Pennsylvania Lancaster County to work on the Farm as he has special skills that are desperately needed. Michael G knows about Horses, Farming, Planting, Cows, Dogs, Carpentry, Buggy racing. The Elders from the church in Pennsylvania Lancaster County find out a man is coming to Ellis farms, and they would like to meet him. He is single. They have a woman in the Amish church with two children who's husband has died of a hart attack. Long hours and overworked was my guess. 12 hours days. Maybe. They want to see if he would be interested. There is plenty of rooms at the Jacob farm as it has a large farm house. However, there is another woman close by on the next farm who has been looking around for a man. Amish woman are very particular when come to a man. They need to meet a criteria only know to them. In the Pennsylvania town of Lancaster County a Major buggy Race has a special significance in terms of who will win the Race. It not only about a Race. There are strange things happening in the background that outsiders may not know. Religion, Farming, Relationships, Business dealings. The list goes on. The Amish system. The rules. The lifestyle. Church attending. House building, No smart phone only flip phones. No mains power. Solar and batteries seems to be the way there going.

Book excerpt: The man who led the salvage efforts to raise a sunken US Navy submarine recounts the mission in a tale “that will surely rank among the epics of the sea” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). The sinking of the submarine S-51 was one of the greatest tragedies in American naval history. Due to a miscommunication and subsequent collision between the sub and a passing steamship on a September night, the S-51, including thirty-three of its crew of thirty-six, sank to the ocean depths. The tragedy of the S-51 captivated the nation, and was a fixture in the pages of American newspapers. The story took on a whole new dimension when the navy decided to take over the salvage of the thousand-ton behemoth from a civilian company. Heading the crew tasked with this impossible feat was Edward Ellsberg, at the time a lieutenant commander. On the Bottom is Ellsberg’s account of the successes and failures he and his men experienced as they attempted an astonishing feat of engineering and bravery: the first salvage of a submarine from the open ocean.

This book was released on 2012-04-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Superbly reported and written with clarity, insight, and great skill." —Washington Post Book World After two decades, Washington Post journalist Blaine Harden returned to his small-town birthplace in the Pacific Northwest to follow the rise and fall of the West’s most thoroughly conquered river. To explore the Columbia River and befriend those who collaborated in its destruction, he traveled on a monstrous freight barge sailing west from Idaho to the Grand Coulee Dam, the site of the river’s harnessing for the sake of jobs, electricity, and irrigation. A River Lost is a searing personal narrative of rediscovery joined with a narrative of exploitation: of Native Americans, of endangered salmon, of nuclear waste, and of a once-wild river. Updated throughout, this edition features a new foreword and afterword.
Download or read book America 1908 written by Jim Rasenberger and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-06-08 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An entertaining survey” (Publishers Weekly) through the highs and lows of a spectacular, pivotal year in American history—1908. A captivating look at a bygone era through the lens of a single, surprisingly momentous American year one century ago. 1908 was the year Henry Ford launched the Model T, the Wright Brothers proved to the world that they had mastered the art of flight, Teddy Roosevelt decided to send American naval warships around the globe, the Chicago Cubs won the World Series (a feat they have never yet repeated), and six automobiles set out on an incredible 20,000 mile race from New York City to Paris via the frozen Bering Strait. A charming and knowledgeable guide, Rasenberger takes readers back to a time of almost limitless optimism, even in the face of enormous inequality, an era when the majority of Americans believed that the future was bound to be better than the past, that the world’s worst problems would eventually be solved, and that nothing at all was impossible. As Thomas Edison succinctly said that year, “Anything, everything is possible.”
