Download or read book Juniata College written by Nancy Siegel and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its beginning in 1876, Juniata College has remained a rare and distinguished institution. It takes an equally exceptional collection of photographs to illustrate the college's proud history. The following photographs, many of them never before published, tells the story in eloquent detail. Juniata College explores the first fifty years of the history of Juniata, from its simple origin in one room over a printing shop to the 1920s as Juniata emerged into a leading liberal arts college. Juniata College is a campus tour that includes visits to buildings no longer standing, recreations of many forgotten traditions, and a special chapter highlighting the town of Huntingdon. Picture postcards and posed snapshots, together with excerpts from historical documents, reveal an engaging story told in an informative and elegant style.

A LEGEND OF OLD M*VEYTOWN. ALONG the old canal bank, below the picturesque village of McVeytown, for a full century stood a certain public house, a tavern stand with a history. Long before the buildng of the canal it had been a noted hostelry, a favored stopping place for travelers along the pike, a headquarters for the hardy settlers and hunters of the neighborhood. It had been in the hands of one family for nearly the entire span of the century, a family of more than ordinary refinement and common sense, who had raised inn keeping almost to the level of a profession. For that reason they attracted the best class of custom and many were the travelers who journeyed miles further enduring fatigue and cold, so that they could spend the night under this hospitable roof. And many were the travelers who went off their regular roads purposely that they might be entertained there. Even the roughest customers from the Blue Ridge and Jack's Mountain maintained a respectable demeanor within the heavy walls of the old stone tavern; the few Indians who stopped there recalled that it had been built originally as a fort, as was evidenced by the thickness of the walls--the entire atmosphere was one of genial charm. It reflected the English inns of romance in this wild mountainous section of the new world. The family who kept the stand were of English descent, of exceptionally good stock, being related to the nobility; the head of the family had been a baronet's younger son who emigrated to Pennsylvania, marrying there a beautiful girl of lesser rank but of solid north of Ireland forbears. The first landlord had married the eldest daughter of this union, an attractive girl, who maintained her dignity, yet left no detail of her hotel...

Download or read book The Nittany Lion: An Illustrated Tale written by and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a Nittany Lion? The most frequently asked question about Penn State University is answered definitively for the first time in this beautifully illustrated book. Penn State librarians Jackie Esposito and Steven Herb have devoted hundreds of hours of research to uncover the fascinating and colorful history behind the beloved Penn State icon. Elements of the tale include the tragic legend of Indian Princess Nita-nee, for whom the majestic mountain in Central Pennsylvania is named; the story of the Original Nittany Lion, the elusive mountain lion that once roamed the hills of Pennsylvania; the 1904 Penn State baseball game at Princeton University, where the idea of a school mascot was born; the creation of the famous limestone Nittany Lion Shrine on Penn State's University Park campus; and the "Men in the Suit," the many Penn State students who have played the role of the Nittany Lion Mascot. This tale is also the story of many important figures in Penn State and Pennsylvania history, including folklorist Henry Shoemaker, baseball player and student leader H. D. "Joe" Mason, sculptor Heinz Warneke, famous mascot Norm Constantine, and football coaching legends "Rip" Engle and Joe Paterno. Sure to be of interest to Penn State's 340,000 living alumni and the countless numbers of Nittany Lion fans all over the world, this book will also appeal to folklorists and Pennsylvania historians.

Download or read book Public History for a Post-Truth Era written by Liz Sevcenko and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-25 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public History for a Post-Truth Era explores how to combat historical denial when faith in facts is at an all-time low. Moving beyond memorial museums or documentaries, the book shares on-the-ground stories of participatory public memory movements that brought people together to grapple with the deep roots and current truths of human rights abuses. It gives an inside look at "Sites of Conscience" around the world, and the memory activists unearthing their hidden histories, from the Soviet Gulag to the slave trade in Senegal. It then follows hundreds of people joining forces across dozens of US cities to fight denial of Guantánamo, mass incarceration, and climate change. As reparations proposals proliferate in the US, the book is a resource for anyone seeking to confront historical injustices and redress their harms. Written in accessible, non-academic language, it will appeal to students, educators, or supportive citizens interested in public history, museums, or movement organizing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With sixteen thousand miles of streams and rivers, twenty-nine state parks and nine state and national forests spread out over twelve counties, the Pennsylvania Wilds is an immensely special place in the Commonwealth. Beyond the stunning scenery lies important history of early America. A young George Washington traversed the expanse, cutting his teeth as a military leader. Violence between Native Americans and colonists in the territory left its bloody mark, from the Penn's Creek Massacre to the Great Cove Massacre. After the American Revolution, early settler families forged roots, built communities and developed the region into a patchwork of frontier towns. Through a series of richly compelling narratives, author Kathy Myers reveals the early history of the Pennsylvania Wilds.
