Download or read book Tumwater written by Heather Lockman and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phrase "It's the water," adopted by Tumwater's own Olympia Brewing Company, could have been coined for the town itself. In 1845, the first American settlers on Puget Sound founded a village at the falls of the Deschutes River, drawn by the river's potential for powering mills and factories. They christened the place New Market, though the town soon changed its name to Tumwater, a phrase meaning "noisy water" in the language used between settlers and Indians. Though the age of water power lasted only a few more decades, Tumwater later struck gold with a different sort of water: pure artesian springs that were perfect for brewing beer. The Olympia Brewing Company, built by German brewmaster Leopold Schmidt, produced its first beer in 1896. For more than a century, Schmidt's brewery dominated the little town at the falls. In spite of tremendous changes during the past few decades, modern Tumwater still takes pride in its Northwest pioneer heritage and its beer-brewing past.

Download or read book Nathaniel Crosby III Collection written by Nathaniel Crosby (III) and published by . This book was released on 1857 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nathaniel Crosby III collection is comprised of a journal covering Crosby's voyage from Hong Kong to San Francisco in the summer of 1857 on the Chilean vessel, Mercedes. The collection also contains documents and newspaper articles regarding the Crosby family housed in Folder 1. In December of 1856, Nathaniel Crosby III's father died in Hong Kong, and so he and his mother sailed there the following year. His journal in Folder 2 chronicles their voyage home from Hong Kong to San Francisco, and includes an inventory of items--including articles of clothing--and their monetary value. According to the daily entries, the Mercedes left Hong Kong on 7 July 1857 and arrived in San Francisco on 27 August. The entries are all handwritten in brown ink, and range from a single sentence to half a page long. The entries include meteorological information, and cover the daily activities of the ship's crew. Following the last entry, on the next page is a smaller sheet of white paper titled, "American Clipper Ship 'John Wade'". The handwritten document notes a trial of a "first officer Carpenter," and a "second officer Steward" who were accused of murdering a crew member of their ship, the John Wade, "...in Hong Kong harbor - commenced July 6th..." The writer goes on to explain that there was sufficient evidence, and Carpenter and Steward will most likely be executed and will be transported, but it is not specified where they will be transported. The captain of the John Wade is described as "an accessory after the fact--not having been present at the time of the murder--will probably receive some lighter punishment, and may possibly escape entirely." It is unknown why this handwritten sheet of paper has been pasted inside the journal. Following this document there is a set of blank pages, and then what appears to be a personal balance sheet of a "L.R. Crosby" for the month of March 1910. The handwriting is different from the journal entries, and is written in a different color of ink. Folder 1 contains 5 documents. The first document is a speech made by Charles A. Burr to commemorate the Daughters of the Pioneers of Washington's acquisition of the Tumwater Crosby House (now called the Crosby House Museum) in 1947. Burr refers to Nathaniel Crosby III as "Uncle Nat," and mentions that several members of the Crosby family are present. The second document is a photocopy of a 1962 News Tribune article that explains that a Washington State Historical Society staff member showed a copy of the journal to Bing Crosby. The next two documents are newspaper articles about the Crosby House, and the fifth document is an old WSHS "biographical sketch" of Nathaniel Crosby III.

Book excerpt: Includes an afterword by the author. Harry Crosby was the godson of J. P. Morgan and a friend of Ernest Hemingway. Living in Paris in the twenties and directing the Black Sun Press, which published James Joyce among others, Crosby was at the center of the wild life of the lost generation. Drugs, drink, sex, gambling, the deliberate derangement of the senses in the pursuit of transcendent revelation: these were Crosby’s pastimes until 1929, when he shot his girlfriend, the recent bride of another man, and then himself. Black Sun is novelist and master biographer Geoffrey Wolff’s subtle and striking picture of a man who killed himself to make his life a work of art.

Book excerpt: Begun in 2014, Njideka Akunyili Crosby's ongoing series, The Beautyful Ones is comprised of portraits of Nigerian children, including members of the artist's family, derived from personal photographs and, more recently, from images taken during her frequent visits to Nigeria, where Akunyili Crosby lived until the age of sixteen.Its title is taken from the 1968 novel by the Ghanaian writer Ayi Kwei Armah, The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born, a book whose influence endured during the artist's adolescence in the 1990s and is still felt today. In it, the author laments the lost idealism of a generation in the 1960s for a better Africa, post-independence.In, The Beautyful Ones the artist reinstates this optimism in her own and subsequent generations while offering a powerful perspective on the complexities of a contemporary diasporic experience.Crosby is one of the most distinctive voices of her generation, and this book, only the second publication on the Los-Angeles based artist. It features extensive illustrations of works in the series and an essay by Siddhartha Mitter, who, reflecting on the work's complex history, weaves together the social, cultural, personal and political strands of its making.Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Njideka Akunyili Crosby: The Beautyful Ones at Victoria Miro, Venice (8 May - 13 July 2019).

Book excerpt: Caught Between a Charade and the Truth. Jamie D. Lane is many things: multi-talented, handsome–and the most sought-after pop star in the world. But there’s one thing he isn’t–happy. At the height of his singing career, a family tragedy stops him in his tracks. And in an effort to settle a private matter and put the past behind him, Jamie cuts his trademark blonde curls, assumes a new identity, and secretly slips away from his celebrity lifestyle and heads to the Pacific Northwest in cognito. But what he finds in small town Washington could open up Jamie’s future–and change him forever. A teacher to inner city kids and former high school track star, Anne Stewart had once believed she could change the world. Then a near-fatal accident left her grappling with both the devastating effects of head injury and deep bitterness toward the drunk driver who crippled her. When a man she knows as “Joe Bradley” hits town, however, he unexpectedly helps to restore her self-confidence and passion for life. But when the scope of The Celebrity’s deception becomes clear to Anne, will it be too much to forgive? Can The Celebrity Reveal His True Identity– Without Losing Everything? From the Trade Paperback edition.
