Download or read book Soul of a Port written by Leah Dobkin and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11-29 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since her boat drifted up against the mammoth docks in Milwaukee's harbor, Leah Dobkin has been enthralled by the evolution of the port and the city so firmly moored to it. From an era when it was a "Milwaukee Miracle" to make landfall without losing luggage to a promising future powered by alternative energy, Soul of a Port is steered by that same sense of wonder. And since the port's story is not just one of nuts, bolts and cranes, Dobkin's narrative is also well crewed by the characters who have given the place such a fascinating legacy. Settle in for an entertaining passage that includes a longshoreman's poetry, the Milwaukee Clipper's recipe for prime rib, a tugboat ghost story and much, much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Port of Milwaukee: Historical, Descriptive, Prospective It meant that Milwaukee realized ten years ago that, with the growing changes in the character of the lake commerce, the crowding of water terminals from the river banks of large commercial centers, and the in creasing cost of handling large craft through tortu ous inner harbors, some study of future port develop ment would prove timely. The local harbor improvements, which had hitherto been in the hands of an aldermanic committee, were entrusted in a commission made up of citizens familiar with lake commerce and with the physical conditions of the local harbor. It was realized that an aldermanic committee, at best, is transient in character, and that a body of men in sympathetic touch with local port. Affairs, enjoying a long tenure of office, was best suited to provide a comprehensive plan involving years of study and a continuous policy of development.

Book excerpt: From City Hall to the Pabst Theater, reminders of the past are part of the fabric of Milwaukee. Yet many historic treasures have been lost to time. An overgrown stretch of the Milwaukee River was once a famous beer garden. Blocks of homes and apartments replaced the Wonderland Amusement Park. A quiet bike path now stretches where some of fastest trains in the world previously thundered. Today's Estabrook Park was a vast mining operation, and Marquette University covers the old fairgrounds where Abraham Lincoln spoke. Author Carl Swanson recounts these stories and other tales of bygone days.

Download or read book Thirty Years a Slave written by Louis Hughes and published by 1st World Publishing. This book was released on 2006-05-22 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was born in Virginia, in 1832, near Charlottesville, in the beautiful valley of the Rivanna river. My father was a white man and my mother a negress, the slave of one John Martin. I was a mere child, probably not more than six years of age, as I remember, when my mother, two brothers and myself were sold to Dr. Louis, a practicing physician in the village of Scottsville. We remained with him about five years, when he died, and, in the settlement of his estate, I was sold to one Washington Fitzpatrick, a merchant of the village. He kept me a short time when he took me to Richmond, by way of canal-boat, expecting to sell me; but as the market was dull, he brought me back and kept me some three months longer, when he told me he had hired me out to work on a canal-boat running to Richmond, and to go to my mother and get my clothes ready to start on the trip. I went to her as directed, and, when she had made ready my bundle, she bade me good-by with tears in her eyes, saying: "My son, be a good boy; be polite to every one, and always behave yourself properly."
