Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient and Modern Germantown, Mount Airy and Chestnut Hill "Hail to posterity! Hail future men of Germanopolis! Let the young generations yet to be Look kindly upon this. Think how your fathers left their native land, - Dear German land! O sacred hearths and homes!! And where the wild beast roams In patience planned New forest homes beyond the mighty sea, There undisturbed and free To live as brothers of one family." From the Latin of F. D. Pastorius - Whittier's translation. Townsend Ward furnished eight most interesting articles on "The Germantown Road and Its Associations" for the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, beginning with No. 1 of Vol. V, A. D. 1881, and ending in No. 4 of Vol. VI, A. D. 1882. He then stopped to solicit funds for the purchase of the new Historical Society rooms, formerly General Patterson's house, at the southwest corner of Thirteenth and Locust streets. His lamented death has made a final pause where he expected to make but a temporary one. Mr. Ward had agreed with the editor of the Germantown Telegraph, to continue the work in the columns of his paper, by request of the editor. It has fallen to the lot of the present writer to take up the task. He will receive some aid from the manuscripts of the late author, kindly placed in his hands by the courtesy of Frederick D. Stone, Librarian of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Mr. Ward left a mass of notes on various topics, which show him to have been an indefatigable, as well as a wise, student of local history. In traveling he would pick up bits of information and jot them down, and his correspondence shows how he faithfully searched into details and was ready to correct errors. It also displays the great esteem in which he was held by persons of high station in the community. It is a source of much regret that the facile pen which lovingly described Second street and Darby road and Germantown road can work no more, and it would be desirable to print much of what he left in manuscript.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Called the most historic street in America, Germantown Avenue follows the path of an ancient Lenni Lenape trail. This historic route links Germantown, Mount Airy, and Chestnut Hill, the three neighborhoods of the city of Philadelphia that make up the old German Township. From the first protest against slavery in North America, to the battle of Germantown in 1777, to the service of its two military hospitals during the Civil War, Germantown has been the site of some of history's most significant events. Many rarely seen images from the archives of the Germantown Historical Society are in Germantown, Mount Airy, and Chestnut Hill. Covering the period from Colonial times to the twentieth century, these images tell in sharp detail the story of the region founded by German-speaking settlers in 1683. From these beginnings, Germantown evolved into a prosperous industrial center by the mid nineteenth century. It also became home to wealthy businessmen who built elaborate Victorian villas and gardens. Germantown was home to one of the nation's first commuter railroads and to many factories and textile mills. Immigrants from all parts of Europe were attracted to Germantown. These faces, events, and places are what make Germantown, Mount Airy, and Chestnut Hill an indispensable keepsake.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The York Road, Old and New: Illustrated The writer of this volume was first drawn into the field of local Pennsylvania History by an article of the veteran historian, William J. Buck, in Scott's Atlas of Montgomery County on Horsham, including a sketch of Lieutenant Governor Keith's country-seat of Graeme Park. The investigation of that interesting spot led him to describe its history at length in the Germantown Telegraph under the editorship of Mr. Henry W. Raymond. This was followed by a series of historic papers running through several years, largely condensing and continuing the late Townsend Wards valuable work on the Germantown Road, which resulted in the issue of the volume on Germantown, Mount Airy, and Chestnut Hill, which was kindly received by the public. As York Road is now virtually a branch of Germantown Road it is but natural to continue the story of human life, ancient and modern, as it is presented along that highway which runs through one of the interesting suburbs of Philadelphia in its beginning, and then wanders among beautiful hills and quiet vales until having looked on Buckingham mountain it bids farewell to farmhouse and village and field as it stops abruptly at the Delaware River as far as Pennsylvania is concerned and the portion treated of by this book. The New Hope and Centre Bridges, replacing the old ferries, continue its two forks into New Jersey; but there we leave it to find its way among the beautiful hills about Lambertville to its destination. Modern history soon becomes ancient, as the individuals mentioned glide away; and from the day of the issue of a book the names recorded begin to be obituary notices. The road is a journey to a city; may the earthly life when its milestone birthdays are passed, end in the heavenly Jerusalem by Christs guidance. "All journeys end in welcome to the weary, And heaven, the hearts true home, will come at last." The publishers have greatly increased the value of this work by inserting many plates which will vividly recall the road scenes to the reader who is familiar with them.

Download or read book The Material Culture of Tableware written by Jeanne Morgan Zarucchi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Material Culture of Tableware is a fascinating and authoritative study of patterned tableware in the US. The book undertakes a visual analysis of Johnson Brothers patterns of tableware pottery, with reference to comparable designs by other British companies, such as Spode and Adams. It examines how this practical genre reflected the aesthetic values, sense of identity and aspirations of the American consumers who purchased its products. The study also sheds light on British opinions and understandings of American culture. The book's chronological organization shows how tableware designs reflected the cultural developments of American society during the long 20th century. From status-seeking 1890s beaux-arts patterns and the nostalgic historical scenes of the 1930s, to whimsical 1960s patterns and the contemporary motifs of the 1970s, The Material Culture of Tableware tells a compelling story about who 20th century middle-class Americans were and wanted to be.

Download or read book The Cure at Troy written by Seamus Heaney and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cure at Troy is Seamus Heaney's version of Sophocles' Philoctetes. Written in the fifth century BC, this play concerns the predicament of the outcast hero, Philoctetes, whom the Greeks marooned on the island of Lemnos and forgot about until the closing stages of the Siege of Troy. Abandoned because of a wounded foot, Philoctetes nevertheless possesses an invincible bow without which the Greeks cannot win the Trojan War. They are forced to return to Lemnos and seek out Philoctetes' support in a drama that explores the conflict between personal integrity and political expediency. Heaney's version of Philoctetes is a fast-paced, brilliant work ideally suited to the stage. Heaney holds on to the majesty of the Greek original, but manages to give his verse the flavor of Irish speech and context.
