Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to trace the development of Elizabeth City from its incorporation until its fall to Federal forces in the Civil War. In order to understand the beginning of the town, the history of the Albemarle area and Pasquotank County is developed from Indian occupation to the building of the Dismal Swamp Canal. This includes a coverage of the earliest settlements by Virginians in Carolina, the government of Pasquotank Precinct and County, the Revolutionary War sentiment, and the beginning of religious activities in the area. The need of a southern terminus for the Dismal Swamp Canal prompted the chartering of Elizabeth City in 1793. The town site, a fifty acre plantation located next to a crossroads and a ferry dock, was at the Narrows of the Pasquotank River. An account of each of the original incorporators and lot owners is given. The construction of public buildings in Elizabeth City after the town became the county seat is traced, as are the elections and proceedings of the town commissioners. The paper chronicles extensions of the town's boundaries and gives the actions of both the county court and the town commissioners in preparation for the arrival of Federal forces in the Civil War. Elizabeth City became the "Emporium of northeastern North Carolina" as the Dismal Swamp Canal funneled commerce into the town. This was evidenced by the appearance of new stores, industries, newspapers, hotels, transportation companies, banks, and the frequent construction of new homes. Except for periods of national panic, the town enjoyed prosperity. The histories of the town's newspapers are traced in detail. By the time of the war, three white churches and one Negro church were thriving. As a result of its schools, the town could boast of over eighty-five percent of its population being literate in 1860. The court house and, later, Avon Hall hosted both local and traveling talent in the town's cultural series. Excitement in the town-- from epidemics and murders to celebrations and political campaigns--is presented to sum up life in Ante-Bellum Elizabeth City.

Download or read book The Illinois and Michigan Canal written by Jim Redd and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Merging narration with exhibit-quality photographs—weaving history, nostalgia, and even a touch of romance around good graphic evidence of what the canal has become today—Jim Redd takes us on a highly personal journey down the Illinois and Michigan Canal as it follows the Des Plaines and Illinois rivers from Chicago to La Salle. In order to understand the whole of what the canal means now and what it has meant, Redd looks at and photographs the present, an old ruin of a canal out of use for half of a century. But he also sees the beginning, the time before the glaciers inched south—contemplating the two hundred years when the "ice flowing from the north just balanced the melting loss" when "the moving ice was like a continental conveyer belt, dumping tons of entrained rubble and granite from as far away as the Canadian Shield." He envisions the trappers, travelers, and traders who crossed the terrain—this vast mud lake. He brings back the days when Père Jacques Marquette brought the Jesuit message to the frontier. Redd also tells what the canal did for the region, how it bolstered Chicago from a town of twelve hundred at the time of the 1836 groundbreaking ceremony to a city of seventy-four thousand after six years of operation in 1854. During the peak traffic—from the 1860s through the 1880s—more than five million tons of freight passed through the canal, generating a million dollars in tolls and opening a trade route from the East Coast to the Gulf of Mexico.

Download or read book Chillicothe, Ohio written by G. Richard Peck and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1999-10 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chillicothe, Ohio, founded in 1796, became the capital of the Northwest Territory in 1800 and the capital of Ohio in 1803. Cheap land in the Virginia Military District drew settlers to the area in the 1790s. These early settlers came to the Chillicothe area with the idea of building a new state, and the State of Ohio constitution was signed in Chillicothe in 1803. Chillicothe was the capital of Ohio for two separate periods of time: 1803-1810 and 1812-1816. This visual history of Chillicothe contains over 220 historic images, including maps dating back to 1783 that illustrate land claims made by Virginia and other states. The images presented herein take the reader through the days of the Ohio and Erie Canal, the high time of the railroad, and the period when Camp Sherman, a World War I training camp, was located just north of town. Many of the buildings pictured survive and are preserved as part of Chillicothe's downtown business district. With the exception of the presence of automobiles, many of the street scenes look almost the same today as they did in the mid-1800s. Chillicothe survives today as a city with a population of over 22,000, in the midst of many historical attractions and a major, annual outdoor drama called Tecumseh.
