This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Present State of the European Settlements on the Mississippi: With a Geographical Description of That River Illustrated by Plans and Draughts Respecting Philip Pittman, the author of the book that is here reprinted, but few biographical data are obtainable. It appears from the British Army Lists that he was commissioned an ensign July I 3, 1760 and he is reported as an ensign in the 48th Regi ment Of Foot in the Lists for 1761, 1762, and 1763. By the Peace of Paris England Obtained from France all of Louisiana east of the Mississippi River except the Isle of Orleans, and from Spain the prov ince of Florida. It immediately became necessary to occupy and to organize this newly acquired ter ritory. August 7, 1763 the grd Battery of Royal Artillery from Havana received Pensacola from the Spanish commandant, and October 20 a de tachment of Highlanders received Mobile from the French. Pittman must have come with the first British troops or soon afterward, since he says that he resided five years as an engineer in those parts and it is definitely known that he left them toward the close of 1768.

Excerpt: ... remove to some more productive region, or else to change one's occupation, -- a thing not so easy of accomplishment a hundred years ago as it is to-day. Letters sent back by a Hugh White, telling of the marvelous yield of his farm in central New York, proved irresistible to his former Connecticut neighbors, and out to Whitesboro and its vicinity they moved, that they, too, might profit by the extraordinary prodigality of nature. The prairies of Illinois and Wisconsin were far preferable to a stony, hilly patch of ground in the "Granite State," when once their attractions had been set forth in gazetteer and guide-book.1 To obtain a farm of a goodly size, -- that has been the object of the majority of emigrants from the beginning. Inseparably connected with the search for land there has often been discontent with existing conditions, -- social, economic, religious, and political. When a church quarrel arose, what need was there to yield or to compromise, when the disgruntled minority could have its will in another region not far away? There was no necessity for yielding to the will of a majority with which one did not agree when wide stretches of unoccupied land were inviting settlers who could do as they pleased. With this assurance, excessive independence and assertive individuality needed no curb, for there was room for all ideas, political and social. The contented, the prosperous, the conservative, -- these 1 The number of these guide-books and gazetteers, such as Peck's, which were issued from 1S30 to 1850 is astonishing, and their influence in attracting settlers to the West must have been great. Every detail of expense by canal, steamboat, and stage is there, with minute descriptions of infant settlements in need of farmers and...

Book Synopsis They Called Us River Rats by : Macon Fry
Download or read book They Called Us River Rats written by Macon Fry and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They Called Us River Rats: The Last Batture Settlement of New Orleans is the previously untold story of perhaps the oldest outsider settlement in America, an invisible community on the annually flooded shores of the Mississippi River. This community exists in the place between the normal high and low water line of the Mississippi River, a zone known in Louisiana as the batture. For the better part of two centuries, batture dwellers such as Macon Fry have raised shantyboats on stilts, built water-adapted homes, foraged, fished, and survived using the skills a river teaches. Until now the stories of this way of life have existed only in the memories of those who have lived here. Beginning in 2000, Fry set about recording the stories of all the old batture dwellers he could find: maritime workers, willow furniture makers, fishermen, artists, and river shrimpers. Along the way, Fry uncovered fascinating tales of fortune tellers, faith healers, and wild bird trappers who defiantly lived on the river. They Called Us River Rats also explores the troubled relationship between people inside the levees, the often-reviled batture folks, and the river itself. It traces the struggle between batture folks and city authorities, the commercial interests that claimed the river, and Louisiana’s most powerful politicians. These conflicts have ended in legal battles, displacement, incarceration, and even lynching. Today Fry is among the senior generation of “River Rats” living in a vestigial colony of twelve “camps” on New Orleans’s river batture, a fragment of a settlement that once stretched nearly six miles and numbered hundreds of homes. It is the last riparian settlement on the Lower Mississippi and a contrarian, independent life outside urban zoning, planning, and flood protection. This book is for everyone who ever felt the pull of the Mississippi River or saw its towering levees and wondered who could live on the other side.

Book Synopsis Grand Excursions on the Upper Mississippi River by : Curtis C. & Elizabeth M. Roseman & Roseman
Download or read book Grand Excursions on the Upper Mississippi River written by Curtis C. & Elizabeth M. Roseman & Roseman and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 1854 the Grand Excursion celebrated in festive style the completion of the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad to the Mississippi River. Hundreds of dignitaries including newspaper editors and other journalists; politicians; academics, writers and artists; business and industry leaders; and railroad officials were among those who traveled by rail from Chicago to Rock Island, Illinois, then by steamboat to St. Paul in Minnesota Territory. The travelers were shown a region undergoing rapid settlement by Europeans—an area of great natural beauty offering many promises for additional development. One hundred and fifty years later, the thirteen essays in this volume examine the activities and environments of the 1854 Grand Excursion and place them in the context of an evolving regional identity for the Upper Mississippi River Valley based on the economy, culture, geography, and history of the area. In a series of “excursions,” the contributors explore the building of the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad, eastern newspaper accounts of the 1854 excursion, steamboating, the area’s pictorial landscape, passenger trains along the scenic river, the genesis and features of river towns, the control of the river for navigation, the development of preserves, parks, and recreation areas, the lumber industry, and commercial fishing. The book concludes by examining the resurgence of river-oriented development, as river towns are once again embracing the Mississippi. Generously illustrated with maps, engravings, ephemera, and historic and present-day photographs, Grand Excursions on the Upper Mississippi River will be of interest to tourists and residents of the area, river aficionados, railroad and steamboat history buffs, as well as academics interested in the history, geography, and regional development of the area.

Download or read book Upper Mississippi River at Winona written by Walter Bennick and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winona, located on an island where the upper Mississippi River flows from west to east, has been linked to the river from its earliest days. Before the community's settlement, Native Americans and white explorers sailed past Wapasha's Prairie in birchbark canoes, keel boats, and small sailboats. As early as the 1820s, steamboats plied the river while carrying people and goods to and from the state's interior. Before bridges began to crisscross the river, merchants had to use boats to bring people and supplies to Winona before they could travel farther west. The first bridge to cross the river was a swing bridge that allowed steamboats to pass. Images of America: Upper Mississippi River at Winona uses images collected and archived in the Winona County Historical Society's History Center to illustrate the history of the Mississippi River near Winona. Many of the photographs exhibited in this book have rarely been seen by the general public and have never been published.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expansion of New England: The Spread of New England Settlement and Institutions to the Mississippi River; 1620-1865 Besides these tangible causes for emigration, there were the more subtle but no less real ones of restless ness and discontent with the life of settled communities. The Wanderlust in the anglo-saxon blood had been potent in urging Englishmen to a part in the Crusades and later to voyages of exploration and discovery. Now it assumed the form it had taken in earlier centuries, and impelled not only individuals, but families, and groups of families, to emigration over seas. Love of adventure, curiosity concerning unknown lands, dreams of prosperity impossible under their present condition.
