Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railway Problem: Address of Mr. Franklin B. Gowen, on the Position Which the City of Philadelphia Should Occupy to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to Its Transportation Lines, and to the Railway Problem of the Day The State of Pennsylvania is a great empire. It has an area equal to that of England and Wales together. It has coal fields within its borders of very nearly twice the extent Of all that England and Wales put together 0 tain. It has iron wealth and iron resources double, aye, treble those of all England and Wales together. It has forests which are to-day almost as productive as they were. Fifty years ago. It has broad areas of farm land, the richest that ever God's sun shone upon. Over and be yond all this, it has a great population of God-fearing, law-abiding citizens, a population collected in the New World, and embracing all the great races of the Old World. The Saxon and the. Celt, the Teuton and the Gaul, have here united to mingle their blood and to produce one common stock that may be looked upon with pride as the best specimen Of the best type of that distinctive American race which is to' become the glory Of the Western Hemi sphere. [applause] I can say, truly, that. The City of Philadelphia. Has neglected its State; that while the wealth, the ability, and the enterprise Of this City have been directed beyond the State to secure the commerce of the West, the city of New York has come in through the Side door, and taken away from us the great and growing commerce of Pennsylvania. It is not alone the commerce of the West that has built up New York as against the City of Philadelphia, but. While we have been struggling to secure the evanescent. Glory of western commerce, New York City has been built up by the products of the State of Pennsylvania, which her own City has neglected. It was not SO fifty rears ago. The wise men who lived in this City in those early days projected a system Of railway communication intended to place the City of Philadelphia in connectionwith almost every developed portion of the Common wealth. The great Pennsylvania Railroad was projected to the West to connect Pittsburgh with Philadelphia; the Reading Railroad was projected to connect the Schuylkill coal fields with the City Of Philadelphia; the Sunbury and Erie Railway was surveyed in early times for the purpose of connecting the great Lakes and the commerce of those Lakes with the City of Philadelphia, so that the State Of Pennsylvania Should have its port upon the Atlantic and its port upon the Lakes. The North Penn sylvania Railroad was projected for the purpose Of reach ing northward through the mineral lands of the Lehigh V alley up to the coal fields Of the Lehigh and the Wyo ming regions.

Book Synopsis Mastering Iron by : Anne Kelly Knowles
Download or read book Mastering Iron written by Anne Kelly Knowles and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veins of iron run deep in the history of America. Iron making began almost as soon as European settlement, with the establishment of the first ironworks in colonial Massachusetts. Yet it was Great Britain that became the Atlantic world’s dominant low-cost, high-volume producer of iron, a position it retained throughout the nineteenth century. It was not until after the Civil War that American iron producers began to match the scale and efficiency of the British iron industry. In Mastering Iron, Anne Kelly Knowles argues that the prolonged development of the US iron industry was largely due to geographical problems the British did not face. Pairing exhaustive manuscript research with analysis of a detailed geospatial database that she built of the industry, Knowles reconstructs the American iron industry in unprecedented depth, from locating hundreds of iron companies in their social and environmental contexts to explaining workplace culture and social relations between workers and managers. She demonstrates how ironworks in Alabama, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia struggled to replicate British technologies but, in the attempt, brought about changes in the American industry that set the stage for the subsequent age of steel. Richly illustrated with dozens of original maps and period art work, all in full color, Mastering Iron sheds new light on American ambitions and highlights the challenges a young nation faced as it grappled with its geographic conditions.
Book Synopsis The Encyclopedia of New York State by : Peter Eisenstadt
Download or read book The Encyclopedia of New York State written by Peter Eisenstadt and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2005-05-19 with total page 1960 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of New York State is one of the most complete works on the Empire State to be published in a half-century. In nearly 2,000 pages and 4,000 signed entries, this single volume captures the impressive complexity of New York State as a historic crossroads of people and ideas, as a cradle of abolitionism and feminism, and as an apex of modern urban, suburban, and rural life. The Encyclopedia is packed with fascinating details from fields ranging from sociology and geography to history. Did you know that Manhattan's Lower East Side was once the most populated neighborhood in the world, but Hamilton County in the Adirondacks is the least densely populated county east of the Mississippi; New York is the only state to border both the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean; the Erie Canal opened New York City to rich farmland upstate . . . and to the west. Entries by experts chronicle New York's varied areas, politics, and persuasions with a cornucopia of subjects from environmentalism to higher education to railroads, weaving the state's diverse regions and peoples into one idea of New York State. Lavishly illustrated with 500 photographs and figures, 120 maps, and 140 tables, the Encyclopedia is key to understanding the state's past, present, and future. It is a crucial reference for students, teachers, historians, and business people, for New Yorkers of all persuasions, and for anyone interested in finding out more about New York State.
Book Synopsis American Visions: The United States, 1800-1860 by : Edward L. Ayers
Download or read book American Visions: The United States, 1800-1860 written by Edward L. Ayers and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revealing history of the formative period when voices of dissent and innovation defied power and created visions of America still resonant today. With so many of our histories falling into dour critique or blatant celebration, here is a welcome departure: a book that offers hope as well as honesty about the American past. The early decades of the nineteenth century saw the expansion of slavery, Native dispossession, and wars with Canada and Mexico. Mass immigration and powerful religious movements sent tremors through American society. But even as the powerful defended the status quo, others defied it: voices from the margins moved the center; eccentric visions altered the accepted wisdom, and acts of empathy questioned self-interest. Edward L. Ayers’s rich history examines the visions that moved Frederick Douglass, Margaret Fuller, the Native American activist William Apess, and others to challenge entrenched practices and beliefs. So, Lydia Maria Child condemned the racism of her fellow northerners at great personal cost. Melville and Thoreau, Joseph Smith and Samuel Morse all charted new paths for America in the realms of art, nature, belief, and technology. It was Henry David Thoreau who, speaking of John Brown, challenged a hostile crowd "Is it not possible that an individual may be right and a government wrong?" Through decades of award-winning scholarship on the Civil War, Edward L. Ayers has himself ventured beyond the interpretative status quo to recover the range of possibilities embedded in the past as it was lived. Here he turns that distinctive historical sensibility to a period when bold visionaries and critics built vigorous traditions of dissent and innovation into the foundation of the nation. Those traditions remain alive for us today.
