Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scattered throughout Eastern Pennsylvania are remnants of history being reclaimed by nature. Join author and photographer Kathleen Butler on a journey to discover the little-known history of ruins deep in the woods of Pennsylvania that can only be reached by foot. Venture along and unearth remnants of the coal mining industry, mills, railroads, and more. Explore the history that is not taught in schools. Those who only live a few miles from these ruins do not know of their existence, let alone their past. Some are from industries that fell hard when the market was no longer in their favor. They ultimately abandoned their businesses or moved elsewhere. Others tried to establish themselves only to find that the area was not suitable, thus leaving their failed community behind. Soon, these abandoned ruins will disappear into the forests of Pennsylvania forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Abandoned Tracks, W. Thomas Mainwaring bridges the gap between scholarly and popular perceptions of the Underground Railroad. Historians have long recognized that many aspects of the Underground Railroad have been mythologized by emotion, memory, time, and wishful thinking. Mainwaring’s book is a rich, in-depth attempt to separate fact from fiction in one local area, while also contributing to a scholarly discussion of the Underground Railroad by placing Washington County, Pennsylvania, in the national context. Just as the North was not consistent in its perspective on the Civil War and the slavery issue, the Underground Railroad had distinct regional variations. Washington County had a well-organized abolition movement, even though its members helped a comparatively small number of fugitive slaves escape, largely because of the small nearby slave population in what was then western Virginia. Its origins as a slave county make it an interesting case study of the transition from slavery to freedom and of the origins of black and white abolitionism. Abandoned Tracks lends much to the ongoing scholarly debate about the extent, scope, and nature of the Underground Railroad. This book is written both for scholars of abolitionism and the Underground Railroad and for an audience interested in local history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abandoned Pennsylvania: Remains of the Keystone State provides readers a glimpse back to times left behind. A once-booming state, which played a central role in the American Revolution, is now home to countless abandonments, from the big cities lush in forgotten churches and schools with remarkable architecture to small rural coal mining towns trapped in time that hold the remnants of former homes, hospitals, jails, and mills. Look deep inside through the 141 color photographs of these crumbling beautiful structures and discover the beauty in the natural decay. Explore the magnificent remnants of a 110-room mansion that holds ties to the Titanic. Wander the tracks of an old rickety wooden roller coaster engulfed in foliage or an old silk mill that has colorful threads from end to end. Follow the journey and step inside Pennsylvania like you never knew and discover what lies behind closed doors. These once well-constructed, elegant structures will meet their demise and fall victim to mother nature and vandalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever peered through a crack in a shuttered window or door and wondered what is hidden from view and what happened to this place? Take a journey through some of Eastern Pennsylvania's ruins and discover an evocative new way to look at history and long-neglected sites. A crumbling asylum, silent prisons, opulent theaters deserving reclamation, quiet fabric and garment mills, a rusty steel giant that once roared 24/7, an eclectic castle, a cemetery that once catered to Philadelphia's elite, a still school that was once the pride of the region, and remnants of agrarian districts are found among Eastern Pennsylvania's diverse collection of abandonments succumbing to economic and cultural shocks. Throughout this book, pictures on top of pictures emerge with stories about loss. Discover a surreal world that development has left behind, where industry collapses, or culture changes and decay take over.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pennsylvania's history is intrinsic to our understanding of America's expansion. As the second state in the nation, much of America's early industrial history can be traced back to Pennsylvania and its two largest cities, Philadelphia and Pittsburg. Not only was the Declaration of Independence signed in Philadelphia in 1776, it was also the capital city of the United States from 1790-1800. More than two centuries later, evidence of much of this history is slowly being erased from our present-day landscape. For the armchair urban explorer and history buff alike, Abandoned Pennsylvania: Industry and Endings takes a journey through Pennsylvania's, industrial, recreational, correctional, and educational past. The irreplaceable Inn at Buck Hill Falls, and the anchor of a small industrial town, Scranton Lace Factory, were once bustling cogs in a growing state's fortunes; a fireplace and a clock tower are all that remains to remind us of their existence. For others, such as the Transfiguration of Our Lord Church and Thomas Edison High School, nothing remains. In their place is an athletic field and Save-A-Lot store and parking lot. Industry and Endings illuminates the regrettable fact that our hunger for progress is outstripping our respect for the past.

Download or read book City Abandoned written by Vincent D. Feldman and published by Paul Dry Books. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "deeply moving survey of the great civic structures that Philadelphia erected, then neglected."—Philadelphia Inquirer "An aesthetic masterpiece—most relevant and revealing for our time."—Robert Venturi With the photographs in this book, Vincent Feldman offers Philadelphians a testament of who we were, who we are, and who we are likely to become. Some of his subjects have succumbed to neglect or demolition (the Ridge Avenue Farmers' Market, for example); some have been successfully rehabilitated to new uses (the Victory Building); while others remain in limbo in their ruined states—their futures far from secure. Yet besides recording the current state of the buildings, Feldman's photographs can play an active role in their preservation and renovation. His photos can serve, not only as documentary records, but also as catalysts for the rescue and rehabilitation of some of Philadelphia's most significant and neglected "abandoned" city architecture. "By focusing on buildings that embody the civic aspirations of decades past and by portraying them in such stark terms, Vincent Feldman has created a body of work that is a vivid reminder of the fragile nature of what we have inherited and the need to remain ever diligent in its preservation."—John Andrew Gallery, "On Vincent Feldman's Philadelphia" "[Feldman's] images move us to a deeper feeling and understanding of the city, as they pose important questions about our stewardship and the city's future. It's the story of a city on the edge, and we're glad to be along for this freeze-frame journey of photographic brinksmanship."—Kenneth Finkel, "Looking at the Past" "By inviting you to look carefully at buildings from Philadelphia's past, I hope to promote inquiry about our history and also to inspire thoughtful discussion about what we might do for our future."—Vincent D. Feldman, from his Introduction "[Vincent] Feldman is not the kind of photographer who shoots and runs. An old-school craftsman, he uses a large-format view camera much like the one Mathew Brady hauled around to record the devastation of the Civil War. Feldman then retreats to the darkroom to print his images on paper, rendering them with such precision that bricks and stones appear to leap from the page in three-dimensional relief."—Inga Saffron, Philadelphia Inquirer The Wall Street Journal writes that the images of City Abandoned are "a melancholy catalog of such civic failures. In understated compositions that transcend merely local appeal, [Feldman] documents schools, theaters, hotels and churches left to deteriorate even as Philadelphia's downtown has boomed."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once considered the powerhouse of American industry, much of Western Pennsylvania now lies in ruins. The collapse of the steel industry and deindustrialization led to a decline in population and an increase in abandonment. Abandoned Western Pennsylvania: Behind the Boards gives readers the chance to see these locations up close. Factories, prisons, hospitals, schools, and even entire villages sit rotting and fading away. Frozen in time, it is as if their former inhabitants just shut the doors one day and left, leaving behind belongings, machinery, and even hospital records. The architectural beauty of these locations sits in disrepair, waiting to be saved, demolished, or forgotten. Scrappers, vandals, and fires worsen the rate of decay and the future remains unknown. Some structures have been torn down; others have been left to mother nature. Follow photographer and author Kari Miller as she takes you on a journey into Western Pennsylvania's past, to the places that have been left empty and unprotected, soon to be forgotten.
