Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Centennial History of Missouri: Deluxe Supplement His ability to plan and perform made his cooperation sought in various direc tions. His work in behalf of the St. Louis Agricultural Mechanical Asso ciation, of which he was elected president in 1874, is particularly noteworthy. Previous to that year the fair grounds were kept closed except one week each year. Mr. Walsh saw the opportunity for utilizing them in many directions and during the four years when he occupied the chief administrative ofiice of the association the grounds were beautified, new buildings erected, the zoolog ical gardens established and various other improvements made that converted the grounds into one of the favorite places of amusement and recreation for the people of St. Louis. Recognizing further opportunities in the business world, he began investigating the subject of making improvements at the mouth of the Mississippi river and in 1875 was elected president of the South Pass Jetty Company and thus served until the improvement was completed, giving a full navigable depth from the mouth of the Mississippi to the port of New Orleans for thelargest sea-going vessels. From 1875 until 1890 he was the president of the St. Louis Bridge Company, his work in that connection proving of the utmost benefit to the city at large. In 1882 he was elected to the directorate of the Third National Bank, one of the strongest moneyed institutions of St. Louis, and he was also identified as a director with the Laclede National Bank, the merchants-laclede National Bank, the North Missouri Railroad Company, the St. Louis, Kansas City Northern Railroad Company, the Wabash West ern Railroad Company, the Ohio Mississippi Railroad Company and the Baltimore Ohio Southwestern Railroad Company, while in 1888 he was chosen chief executive officer of the Municipal Light Power Company. In 1895 Mr. Walsh was elected vice president of the St. Louis Terminal Railroad Asso ciation and the following year was chosen to the presidency'of an organization controlling the terminal privileges of twenty-two lines of railroad centering at St. Louis and later became chairman of the board of directors, which posi tion he now retains. During his term of office as president, he brought about the unification of the terminal situation at St. Louis. In 1890 he organized the Mississippi Valley Trust Company which developed under his guidance until it is now one of the strongest institutions -of its kind in the west. He was first president of the Trust Company, which office he occupied until January, 1906, when he resigned to become chairman of the'board of directors, of which posi tion he is the present incumbent. He is also president of the Mississippi Glass Company, and-a member of the board of commissioners of Tower Grove Park. Mr. Walsh was one of the directors of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Com pany and acted as a member, of the committee on agriculture and as chairman of the committee on transportation. Various other corporations have felt the stimulus of his cooperation and the benefit of his wise counsel and discrimina tive judgment. The power he has displayed in bringing into harmonious working order varied and complex interests, his inflexible adherence to a' high standard of commercial ethics and his thorough understanding of a business situation, its uses and abuses, have gained him recognition as one of the coun try 's captains of industry.

Book Synopsis Railroad Depots of Southwest Ohio by : Mark J. Camp
Download or read book Railroad Depots of Southwest Ohio written by Mark J. Camp and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07-19 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Springfield was the original destination of the two oldest railroad companies to lay rails in Ohio, the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad and the Little Miami Railroad. This would form the first rail link between Lake Erie and the Ohio River. Other routes became more important as rails eventually spread like spokes of a wheel from Cincinnati, and connections were made to Akron, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Indianapolis, Lexington, Louisville, Marietta, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Toledo as well as many other cities by the late 1800s. Hundreds of depots were erected to serve train travelers, ranging from the smallest shelter to the standard combined passenger-freight building to the major city passenger terminal. Cincinnati, Dayton, and Springfield became railroad centers, and towns like Blanchester, Hamilton, Loveland, Middletown, Morrow, Wilmington, and Xenia, served by more than one line, became busy transfer points. With the decline of rail passenger service, depots became unnecessarymany were demolished. Railroad Depots of Southwest Ohio presents a pictorial look at a sampling of these grand structures when they were in their prime.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education in Southwestern Virginia, 1890-91 On every side the traveler now sees the evidence of the advancing material prosperity and power of the new Dominion of Virginia. Within the past twenty-five years two great lines of railroad have spanned the 500 miles between the sea and the Ohio Valley, while two systems of almost equal importance bind it to the South and South west, and the Baltimore and Ohio, the great highland railroad of the civil war, is still expanding its facilities. Hampton Roads is rapidly becoming the Atlantic harbor that one marvels it has not been from the beginning. At the mouth of the James River is Springing up a new city, the rival of busy Norfolk, across its broad and beautiful bay. Richmond is becoming a notable center of the manufacturing industry she resisted for years In the interest of a narrow industrial and polit ical theory. Southside Virginia is being wrought up into vast garden, orchard, and tobacco plantations, with old Villages rising into new cities. Alexandria. Is bestirring herself to revive her ancient days of commercial importance, and can hardly fail to be an important manu l acturin g annex Of the United States capital. The Potomac is already regarded as one Of the two noblest pleasure waterways in the eastern section of the Union, only rivaled by the Hudson. The quiet valley of the Shenandoah has not only surpassed its old-time agricultural fame, but is now making loud proclamation of new mining and manu factures more startling than the stories of its natural bridge, caverns, and mountain wonders in the geographies of our youth.

Book Synopsis More Classic American Railroads by : Mike Schafer
Download or read book More Classic American Railroads written by Mike Schafer and published by Voyageur Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the latest mystery from New York Times bestselling author Charles Todd, World War I nurse and amateur sleuth Bess Crawford investigates an old murder that occurred during her childhood in India, a search for the truth that will transform her and leave her pondering a troubling question: How can facts lie? Bess Crawford enjoyed a wondrous childhood in India, where her father, a colonel in the British Army, was stationed on the Northwest Frontier. But an unforgettable incident darkened that happy time. In 1908, Colonel Crawford's regiment discovered that it had a murderer in its ranks, an officer who killed five people in India and England yet was never brought to trial. In the eyes of many of these soldiers, men defined by honor and duty, the crime was a stain on the regiment's reputation and on the good name of Bess's father, the Colonel Sahib, who had trained the killer. A decade later, tending to the wounded on the battlefields of France during World War I, Bess learns from a dying Indian sergeant that the supposed murderer, Lieutenant Wade, is alive—and serving at the Front. Bess cannot believe the shocking news. According to reliable reports, Wade's body had been seen deep in the Khyber Pass, where he had died trying to reach Afghanistan. Soon, though, her mind is racing. How had he escaped from India? What had driven a good man to murder in cold blood? Wanting answers, she uses her leave to investigate. In the village where the first three killings took place, she discovers that the locals are certain that the British soldier was innocent. Yet the present owner of the house where the crime was committed believes otherwise, and is convinced that Bess's father helped Wade flee. To settle the matter once and for all, Bess sets out to find Wade and let the courts decide. But when she stumbles on the horrific truth, something that even the famous writer Rudyard Kipling had kept secret all his life, she is shaken to her very core. The facts will damn Wade even as they reveal a brutal reality, a reality that could have been her own fate.
