Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Panama Canal: Illustrated by Color Photography From the Original Authochrome Photographs Nothing could be truer than the statement that the canal workers have removed mountains. Culebra Cut might well be termed The Grand Canyon of the Canal, for so stupendous will it appear when completed that the most vivid imagination can scarcely imagine it the work of man. For nearly a century it has been the dream of nations, that some day man would succeed in tearing asunder the mountains forming the Continental Divide, allowing the waters of the Atlantic to unite with the placid Pacific through a great chan nel created by man, for the welfare of his posterity. Where the canal crosses the Cordilleras a great ravine had to be ex cavated in order to allow the water from Gatun Lake to flow through to the locks at Pedro Miguel. The cut at this point is about 500 feet deep and a half mile wide at the top. The excavation here has literally been done step by step, for while one lot of steam shovels were digging, and loading upon cars the rock and earth from one elevation, others were at work at lower elevations. A group of drills are shown in the center of the picture, drilling holes which are loaded with dynamite and exploded to loosen the material for the steam shovels. To the left of the drills, is a dirt train loaded with rock and earth, ready to start for the dumping ground six miles away. In the lower right hand corner is shown one of the huge steam shovels, which digs and loads five cubic yards of earth or rock each time the dipper is swung.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of the Panama Canal: Its Past, Present and Possible Future The timbers of the first ship which plowed the waters of the Pacific Ocean., manned by white men, as far as history, or tradition, if you please, tells us, were laid in a small bay on the southern side of the isthmus of Darien, by one of these adventurers, and these timbers were cut on the shores of the Atlantic, hewn into shape and carried across the isthmus to the shore of the Pacific, and were there put together for the first voyage into the unknown sea. This work was performed by natives, seized and held as slaves by the Spaniards, whom without such enforced labor could have done little, but whom with the cross in one hand and the sword and torch in the other, forced the civilization of mediaeval Europe, onto the greater part of the new world. It is a far cry from the vision of this small band of Spanish explorers, taking a month with their miserable slaves to carry their small ship across the isthmus, to the vision of some future great admiral, steaming with a fleet of modern war ships, manned by the pride and glory of the United States, making the same trip in 8 hours but the latter is a prospect that should be realized within a comparatively short time. The conquests of Peru, and the spoliation of her wealth by Pizarro and the men who followed him, are matters of history. The most natural route by which all the spoils of conquest, which were claimed by the Crown of Spain, could be sent home was by the west coast of South America, thence across the isthmus and over the Atlantic to Spain. This practice, with the necessity for a port on the south side of the isthmus brought into existence the city of Panama, and from Panama northward across the isthmus, the Spaniards constructed a road, paved with stone, wide enough for two heavily laden mules to pass, and over which for years crossed and re-crossed the pack trains, which kept open the lines of communication between the Pacific Ocean and the plate ships of Spain. This old road still exists, and the writer has traveled over miles of it still in fairly good condition, and giving ample evidence of the thoroughness with which such works were then carried out. All of these millions of treasure did not reach Spain: Panama in those early days was accounted the richest city on earth, in proportion to the number of its inhabitants, and we can be well assured that it took full toll of all treasure passing its portals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author/photographer Jeremy Snapp has produced a dramatic photo-essay of rare images that depict events in the decade preceding the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914. Original photos taken by Snapp's great-grandfather Gerald Sherman, a respected mining engineer of the day, deliver a technical perspective of this undertaking unlike anything previously published. Finally, as the U.S. ceded authority over the canal to the Panamanian government in 1999, Jeremy Snapp travelled to the canal zone with an antique cameratp capture images of the original buildings and construction relics that remained.

Book excerpt: Artist George Scribner visited the Panama Canal Expansion construction site multiple times over an eight-year period as part of a commission from the Panama Canal Authority. The Art of George Scribner: The Panama Canal Paintings traces Scribner's process in capturing the granger and majesty of this massive engineering effort in a series of large-scale paintings. This book explores in detail the artist's thought process in creating a painting from start to finish. It is very much a tutorial in painting large and small scall structures from drawing in rough shapes to laying in light and dark values to refining the image details to finishing a painting and knowing when it is done. This book is a valuable reference for an artist and is a wonderful addition to anyone's library who appreciates art and history.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Uncle Sam's Panama Canal and World History, Accompanying the Panama Canal Flat-Globe: Its Achievement an Honor to the United States and a Blessing to the World We State With Satisfaction that the Panama Canal Flat-Globe and Geographical World History give in a concise, yet exhaustive form, an up-to-date presentation of world-wide geography that has no counterpart. They also comprise a new and advanced system of geographical review and reference that has never existed before, in a form that is easy to understand and convenient to use. Further, they give a full illustration and description of the Panama Canal, and the facts about the Suez Canal by the highest authority. This Globe and History mark a new departure in the consideration of the complete geography of the world. They cover fully the illustration, explanation and description of the earth upon which we live. Each of the two parts (Globe and History) is necessary to the intelligent and satisfactory use of the other. Together, they comprise a product needed to-day in every family circle and business place. Panama Canal Books, geographies, maps, atlases, charts and the geographical part of encyclopedias are fragmentary and disconnected presentations, whereas the Panama Canal Flat-Globe and Geographical World History cover the subject of world-wide geography from all points, connectedly and completely. The Panama Canal Flat-Globe illustrates the whole world. It indicates upon its surface, in their proper relationship, the oceans and seas, continents, countries and islands, the continental systems of great railroads, rivers, lakes and mountains. It also gives the latitude, longitude, time around the world, steamship and cable routes, prevailing winds, ocean currents, ice-drifts, etc., and clearly shows the latest routings of the ocean highways with proper distances through the Panama and Suez Canals. The Geographical World History explains the subject of world-wide geography under the heads of Physical Geography and the phenomena and forces of nature; Mathematical Geography, with its interesting data in relation to time, climate and seasons; and national or political geography, dividing the continents into their numerous sections of governmental control; with frequent reference to the Flat-Globe to give the proper and clear understanding of these subjects. The History of the Ages, and of the 2,000,000,000, people who inhabit the earth together with their activities, is shown in the national and political sub-divisions of the world, the development of its resources, ocean and land transportation facilities and means of intercommunication, and the industrial, commercial and agricultural activities of the various races. All these subjects are clearly presented in this production. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
