Book Synopsis Historic Photos of Wilmington by : Wade G. Dudley
Download or read book Historic Photos of Wilmington written by Wade G. Dudley and published by Historic Photos. This book was released on 2008 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a century after its incorporation in 1740, Wilmington, North Carolina remained a sleepy port city. Then, the coming of steam-power, especially railroad and steamship, enabled a steady growth. War, whether the Civil War with its blockade-runners or the shipbuilding born of the world conflicts of the 1900s, brought more growth. With that expansion came, of course, growing pains. The story of Wilmington, North Carolina is a story of rivers, sounds, and sea, and of a city that grew near the places where those waters mingled. It is the story of a port that became the ?Lifeline of the Confederacy” as well as the lifeline of a state. And in this case, it is the story of over a hundred years of history (1860s to 1970s) told through almost two hundred photographs?the captured essences of people and events now lost.

Download or read book Wilmington written by Paul L. Chalifour and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilmington, Massachusetts, has made the natural transition from a traditional, rural landscape into a modern, bustling American cityscape. Located north of Boston, Wilmington's transformation from a community dotted with labyrinth farm roads into a town crisscrossed by far-reaching and accessible interstate highways is an accurate reflection of small-town America's amazing expansion and growth. However, Wilmington, while continuing to move forward, has not forgotten its history and uses the lessons learned from its past to work toward tomorrow's goals. This volume of over two hundred photographs captures the kaleidoscope of the Wilmington experience over the past one hundred years, especially the period between 1887 and 1965. The reader will walk along forgotten, dirt roads and sparsely populated city streets, explore old farms and once-undeveloped countrysides, peer into old schools, churches, and town buildings, and witness the sporting events, parades, and various celebrations of yesteryear.
Download or read book Wilmington written by Beverly Tetterton and published by DRAM Tree Books. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With hundreds of rare pictures, this award-winning volume captures the many architectural gems that North Carolina's Port City has lost from the colonial period to the present day. Some were lost to natural disasters like fires and hurricanes. Others fell victim to the "progress" of Urban Renewal or the sometimes short-sightedness of private developers. Regardless of how or why these buildings were torn down and lost, they represent pages ripped from the community's collective history. Preservationist Beverly Tetterton has assembled a collection of lost places that serve as cautionary tales for modern planners and citizens.

Book excerpt: Under Spanish, Mexican, and U.S. flags, the Los Angeles harbor area has developed many industries and businesses that survived on Mexican labor, supporting families of Mexican origin for more than a century. Pioneering Mexican Americans have worked the railroads, fields, canneries, plants, refineries, waterfront, and family-owned businesses for generations, forming strong bonds and lifelong friendships. Active in the military and sports, as well as involved in the church and community, Mexican Americans have overcome poverty, hardships, and discrimination, retained cultural values and customs, intermarried and assimilated with other cultures, and become the largest ethnic group in Wilmington. Many of the early families still have relatives that live and work in Wilmington, with sons and daughters achieving successful careers in various realms. Through education, hard work, and determination, Wilmington's Mexican Americans have contributed extensively to the harbor's vibrant American way of life.
