Book Synopsis Casinos, Copperheads, Pioneers and Politicians by : Arthur L. Dillard
Download or read book Casinos, Copperheads, Pioneers and Politicians written by Arthur L. Dillard and published by . This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Greek Revival gem of a courthouse from 1850...And who knew there was a cave under Paoli Indiana? There's a lot that's interesting about Orange County... Visitors travel to Orange County to see one of the most impressive historic courthouses in the Midwest. Underneath that very landmaker, and the rest of Paoli, is what is reputed to be the most beautiful limestone cave in Indiana. The courthouse and cave are only two of the Orange County wonders author Arthur Dillard unveils for the reader in this fascinating book. Dillard has painstakingly researched mastodon bones, the old stagecoach routes through southern Indiana, little known history of the French Lick resort region, old-time department stores and persimmon pudding, along with other interesting subjects. He's included local characters who evaded the law and sometimes brought national focus on Orange County and leading citizens with colorful lives. Dillard brings to life aspects of life in the small towns of Orange County villages and resort centers which are both typical of, and different from, those in other Hoosier hometowns. He tells his stories with flair, gentlemanly charm, and accurate historical perspective.

Download or read book Orange County written by Gustavo Arellano and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-09-16 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author of ¡Ask a Mexican! Gustavo Arellano returns with Orange County, a seamlessly woven history of California's Orange County with Gustavo's personal narrative of growing up within its neighborhoods. The story began in 1918, when Gustavo Arellano's great-grandfather and grandfather arrived in the United States, only to be met with flying potatoes. They ran, and hid, and then went to work in Orange County's citrus groves, where, eventually, thousands of fellow Mexican villagers joined them. Gustavo was born sixty years later, the son of a tomato canner who dropped out of school in the ninth grade and an illegal immigrant who snuck into this country in the trunk of a Chevy. Meanwhile, Orange County changed radically, from a bucolic paradise of orange groves to the land where good Republicans go to die, American Christianity blossoms, and way too many bad television shows are green-lit. Part personal narrative, part cultural history, Orange County is the outrageous and true story of the man behind the wildly popular and controversial column ¡Ask a Mexican! and the locale that spawned him. It is a tale of growing up in an immigrant enclave in a crime-ridden neighborhood, but also in a promised land, a place that has nourished America's soul and Gustavo's family, both in this country and back in Mexico, for a century. Nationally bestselling author, syndicated columnist, and the spiciest voice of the Mexican-American community, Gustavo Arellano delivers the hilarious and poignant follow-up to ¡Ask a Mexican!, his critically acclaimed debut. Orange County not only weaves Gustavo's family story with the history of Orange County and the modern Mexican-immigrant experience but also offers sharp, caliente insights into a wide range of political, cultural, and social issues.
Book Synopsis African American Pioneers of Orange County, Indiana by : Donna Pulliam Griffin
Download or read book African American Pioneers of Orange County, Indiana written by Donna Pulliam Griffin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Free African American men, women and children traveled from North Carolina to Orange County, Indiana in search of new opportunities in a less hostile environment in the mid to late 1820s. Against the backdrop of slavery, war, racial tension and unfriendly laws, these early pioneers purchased land in this untamed wilderness. Using the primitive tools available, they cleared the forest, constructed their homes and built a place of worship. They tilled the land as farmers, raising crops to sustain their families, and laid the foundation of what became known as the Lick Creek settlement. You won't find them mentioned in history books, as their lives were too insignificant to historians of the time. However, their names are scattered throughout old musty ledgers, registers, deeds, certificates and probate records in Orange County file cabinets, vaults, drawers and boxes. They were ordinary people living in extraordinary times. These hard working individuals paved the way for future generations who would inherit their strong moral character, good Christian values, a willingness to work hard and true love of family. This work puts flesh on the bones that rest in the old family cemetery and breathes life into their stories. This is an untold part of Orange County, Indiana history.

Book Synopsis Pioneer Ranch Life in Orange by : Mary Teegarden Clark
Download or read book Pioneer Ranch Life in Orange written by Mary Teegarden Clark and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This previously unpublished account of early California ranch life from 1875 to 1887 covers a pivotal era in Orange County history. Vassar-educated Mary Teegarden Clark captured the future Orange County during its transition from the untamed cattle rancho era to citrus empire. Mary writes engagingly about breaking ground for the citrus Yale Grove in the city of Orange, her home life with husband Albert B. Clark and workaday ranch chores with Chinese and Latino farmhands. Her firsthand accounts enlarge the historical record of citrus marketing, wilderness excursions and the escapades of Wild West pistoleros. Through deft editing, Paul F. Clark, Mary's great-grandson, provides the historical framework through which to view Mary's remarkably vivid experiences.
