This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It certainly was hard. What was the freedom of a country in which the voice of the original founders was spent in vain? Had not they, the "Forty" miners of Bottle Flat, really started the place? Hadn't they located claims there? Hadn't they contributed three ounces each, ostensibly to set up in business a brother miner who unfortunately lost an arm, but really that a saloon might be opened, and the genuineness and stability of the camp be assured? Hadn't they promptly killed or scared away every Chinaman who had ever trailed his celestial pig-tail into the Flat? Hadn't they cut and beaten a trail to Placerville, so that miners could take a run to that city when the Flat became too quiet? Hadn't they framed the squarest betting code in the whole diggings? And when a 'Frisco man basely attempted to break up the camp by starting a gorgeous saloon a few miles up the creek, hadn't they gone up in a body and cleared him out, giving him only ten minutes in which to leave the creek for ever? All this they had done, actuated only by a stern sense of duty, and in the patient anticipation of the reward which traditionally crowns virtuous action. But now—oh, ingratitude of republics!—a schoolteacher was to be forced upon Bottle Flat in spite of all the protest which they, the oldest inhabitants, had made! Such had been their plaint for days, but the sad excitement had not been productive of any fights, for the few married men in the camp prudently absented themselves at night from "The Nugget" saloon, where the matter was fiercely discussed every evening. There was, therefore, such an utter absence of diversity of opinion, that the most quarrelsome searched in vain for provocation. On the afternoon of the day on which the opening events of this story occurred, the boys, by agreement, stopped work two hours earlier than usual, for the stage usually reached Bottle Flat about two hours before sundown, and the one of that day was to bring the hated teacher. The boys had wellnigh given up the idea of further resistance, yet curiosity has a small place even in manly bosoms, and they could at least look hatred at the detested pedagogue. So about four o'clock they gathered at The Nugget so suddenly, that several fathers; who were calmly drinking inside, had barely time to escape through the back windows.

Book Synopsis Between Earth and Heaven by : Jean-Louis Cohen
Download or read book Between Earth and Heaven written by Jean-Louis Cohen and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the visionary architects of the twentieth century, John Lautner designed dramatically innovative buildings with a rare sensitivity to site, vista, and structure. Accompanying a full-scale exhibition on Lautner at Los Angeles's Hammer Museum, this is the first publication to comprehensively explore his work, including his apprenticeship with Frank Lloyd Wright and the cultural and geographical context of Los Angeles, through an intensive examination of the archives of the John Lautner Foundation. Although Lautner's dramatic houses are well-known, this is the first time his work has been seriously examined by scholars. Historian Nicholas Olsberg contributes an analysis of Lautner's evolution, providing social and cultural context. Architect Frank Escher covers the relationship between his experiments in structure and poetics of space, and Jean-Louis Cohen discusses Lautner's place in new design tendencies.This richly illustrated monograph includes previously unpublished sketches, drawings, construction images, and Lautner's own photographs to unveil the evolution, originality, and logic of his designs, focusing on the atmospheres and vistas they establish and the connections to landscape and sensory fluidity that mark their innovative spatial arguments.
Download or read book Tahoe written by Sallie B. Morgan and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tahoe: Or Life in California; A Romance Lake Tahoe and Sierran Villa. "Oh, sweet indeed the rest upon the mountains, This blessed strength from the eternal hills, This draught of life from the purest upland fountains, This sight of heaven that all my vision fills!" Twenty-two miles from the sage-brush capital of the Silver State, far away, 'neath Western skies, in the crown-shaped tops of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, just upon the border line of California, resting in cloudless quiet, lies a lake of surpassing beauty. The scene is lovely "beyond compare." The Western waves of ebbing day, play upon the surface of the calm, smooth, glass-like waters, 'till the eye, tired and dimmed by the reflected brightness, is forced to close and turn away. Fairy haunts have been painted; but where is the artist, whose skillful pencil can picture this scene in all its gorgeous beauty - can give shading to the shining tints of the glistening waters below, or with his brush, paint the colorings of the terraced clouds above? Atmospheric in clearness, dazzling in brightness, and so motionless on this spring evening, as to remind one as he looks upon the bosom of the lake, of the description given of the ice-clad Arctic, by travellers who have ventured far toward the Northern Pole, and stolen a glimpse of chose distant regions. But all ideas of cold, bleak and desolate lands are dissipated, on glancing up. Here tropical verdure greets the eye on every side, and the tall pines of the forest, contrast strangely with the low, richly colored matted ferns and mosses, that border the water, and are reflected from its surface.
