Book Synopsis Footsteps of the Mountain Spirits by : Kenneth Murray
Download or read book Footsteps of the Mountain Spirits written by Kenneth Murray and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elihu Embree -- industrialist, publisher, scholar, and idealist -- lived in East Tennessee at the turn of the nineteenth century. He and His family were Quakers, committed to the cause of abolishing slavery in the American South. Over a few short years, he raised the public consciousness in East Tennessee and achieved wide recognition with the publication of The Emancipator, the first periodical in the United States devoted solely to the abolitionist cause. The seven issues of the monthly publication are reproduced here, together with a brief history of Elihu and the Embree family's migration from France to Washington County, Tennessee. Embree's crusade was cut short in 1820 by his early death at age thirty-eight, and the abolitionist movement soon languished in the region. By the 1840s free debate on the abolition issue was no longer tolerated anywhere in the country, opinions hardened, and a growing hostility led to that dark period in this nation's history marked by the War Between the States and its aftermath. Nevertheless, Embree's contribution was not to be forgotten, and his work stands as a legacy to the quest for human freedom.

Book Synopsis The Natural Gas Industry in Appalachia by : David A. Waples
Download or read book The Natural Gas Industry in Appalachia written by David A. Waples and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2005 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The large scale, practical uses of natural gas were initially introduced by innovators Joseph Pew and George Westinghouse for the steel and glass industries in Pittsburgh, and local gas companies evolved from individual wells to an interstate supply network acquired by Rockefeller's Standard Oil interests. Natural gas is now a prevalent part of American markets and is filling the critical void left by a lack of new coal, oil, and nuclear power facilities. This vital American enterprise began in the Appalachian states as an accidental and underestimated by-product of the oil rush of 1859. This book explores the evolution and significance of the natural gas industry. Early chapters discuss the first natural gas discoveries in the 1800s, the ways in which entrepreneurs used the fuel, the consequent displacement of the manufactured gas industry, and the expansion of the Appalachian natural gas network-largely initiated by Standard Oil interests-into major regional markets. Later chapters discuss the growth of the Appalachian drilling industry, the first wooden and metal pipelines, the development of gas compressor engines, the pioneering of gas storage fields, and the genesis of gas marketing for lighting, heating, cooking, and industrial use. The concluding chapter describes the growth of the Appalachian natural gas industry since its major source of supply shifted from local wells in the 1950s to new discoveries of natural gas in the southwestern United States and the Gulf of Mexico. The conclusion also describes the impact of gas shortages and the government regulation that affects the industry to the present day.

Book Synopsis From Anatolia to Appalachia by : Joseph Mendelsohn Scolnick
Download or read book From Anatolia to Appalachia written by Joseph Mendelsohn Scolnick and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turkic people have been migrating to America for many centuries, but this significant influx has been largely unrecognized. In From Anatolia to Appalachia, Scolnick and Kennedy initiate a dialogue regarding this neglected area of American history and culture. This volume begins the communication with an essay reviewing existing evidence followed by interviews with knowledgeable persons about selected aspects of the population movements. An introduction and conclusion give focus and unity to the various elements of the dialogue. It is anticipated that this and subsequent volumes will (1) give information regarding studies of the movements of Turkic peoples to America; (2) broaden understanding of American history and society; (3) allow many, especially in the Southeast Atlantic region of the US, to better appreciate their background and place in American society; (4) stimulate interest in the main subject or aspects of it, both in the US and abroad; (5) tie together disparate aspects of the subject as well as the persons studying them; and (6) add to the general knowledge regarding migrations of peoples over many centuries. In sum, this dialogue intends not only to inform and interest others, but also to pull together available research on the subject and stimulate new research in this and related areas of study.
