Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The southwest corner of Missouri made fortunes for many early settlers to the area, and created an economic boom rivaling the Gold Rush. In this new book, author Jerry Pryor creates a pictorial history of the efforts of those who staked everything on the chance of striking a fortune underground in the land west of the Mississippi. As early as the first Native American occupation of the region, mining for ore had always been an essential aspect of life in southwestern Missouri. In the mid-19th century, mining towns sprung up like weeds, with early wanderers hearing tales of fortunes made, sometimes accidentally, while plowing fields rich in ore. Joplin, Webb City, Carterville, and Oronogo all have origins in the mining camps that eventually grew into booming towns and cities. Soon this rich belt of mining land fostered a variety of lifestyles, ranging from the poor man's attempt to support his family under difficult and frightening conditions, to entrepreneurs such as Alfred H. Rogers, who organized the Southwest Missouri Electric Railway Company, the largest inter-city system west of the Mississippi.

Download or read book 300 Years of the French in Old Mines written by Mark G. Boyer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-23 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The village of Old Mines is the oldest settlement in the state of Missouri. Lead miners were in Old Mines as early as 1719. The founding of Old Mines in 1723 coincides with the land grant awarded to Philippe Francois Renault by French authorities on June 26, 1723, to mine lead. Thus, the oldest village in Missouri began as a mining town. In 2023, the village marks three hundred years of the French in Old Mines. This book narrates the history of people in remote Louisiana and how they have kept alive a French heritage of culture and customs. The history of Old Mines is tightly bound to the Catholic faith the French settlers brought with them, the parish they founded, and the church, schools, rectories, and convents they built. The decade of the 2020s is filled with over twenty anniversaries to be marked and celebrated in the oldest mining town in Missouri, itself marking its Bicentennial in 2021. This is not a scholarly writing of history; it is a thirty-chapter narrative, grounded in research, of the continual presence of the French in Old Mines for three hundred years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mineral Wealth of Missouri: Two Lectures Delivered in the Hall of Representatives, at Jefferson City, Mo., February 17th and 18th, 1870, in Accordance With House Resolutions; I. Mines and Mining Education, II. Coal and Iron In earlier times we find the use of silver most prevalent. It was currency, or money. For the purchase of Hebron, Abraham weighed the price in silver, current money with the merchants. Of gold and silver large quantities were used for ornaments of the person, and the adornment of temples also for ransoms, tributes, and taxes. Sums or weights of silver and gold are noted which indicate that the mining industry of the Egyptian, Assyrian, Persian, Jewish, Grecian, and Roman empires was cc-extensive with their greatness. The city of Damascus paid a tribute of talents of silver to Babylon (a talent is nearly), and according to Pliny, Cyrus obtained 7 7 from the con quest of Asia. From Herodotus we learn that the yearly tribute paid to the Persians was lbs in silver. During 50 years Carthage paid as tribute to Rome lbs, Troy, of silver. Calig ula ornamented the armor and weapons for his grand circus or coliseum with lbs of silver. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A View of the Lead Mines of Missouri: Including Some Observations of the Mineralogy, Geology, Geography, Antiquities, Soil, Climate, Population, and Productions of Missouri and Arkansaw, and Other Sections of the Western Country The historical facts recorded respecting Renault's Operations, have never before appeared in print. They were elicited in the course of a legal investigation, recently instituted between the heirs at law of Renault and sundry individuals, who claimed the lands in Missouri and Illinois, granted to him, A. D. 1723, in consideration of his services. During these inquiries, many facts hitherto unknown respecting the early history of Louisiana, were brought to light and some new matter has been drawn from the obscurity of private life, both in France and America, which completely developes the views, and transactions of that day. Of this information, I have been presented with an Opportunity to avail myself, through the friendship and politeness of those per sons, in whose possession the original papers, documents, and certificates remain.

Download or read book Missouri Landscapes written by Jon L. Hawker and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this magnificent book, Oliver Schuchard provides more than sixty-five exquisite black-and-white photographs spanning his thirty-eight years of photography. In addition, he explains the aesthetic rationale and techniques he used in order to produce these photographs, emphasizing the profound differences between, yet necessary interdependence of, craft and content. Although Schuchard believes that craft is important, he maintains that the idea behind the photograph and the emotional content of the image are equally vital and are, in fact, functions of one another. The author also shares components of his life experience that he believes helped shape his development as an artist and a teacher. He chose the splendid photographs included in this book from among nearly 5,000 negatives that had been exposed all over the world, from Missouri to Maine, California, Alaska, Colorado, France, Newfoundland, and Hawaii, among many other locations. Approximately 250 negatives survived the initial review, and each of those was printed before a final decision was made on which photographs were to be featured in the book. The final choices are representative of Schuchard's work and serve to substantiate his belief that craft, concept, and self must be fully understood and carefully melded for a good photograph to occur. This amazing work by award-winning photographer Oliver Schuchard will be treasured by professional and amateur photographers alike, as well as by anyone who simply enjoys superb photography."--Publishers website.
