Book excerpt: Located in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Pottawattamie Squirrel Cage Jail is a National Register of Historic Places landmark. Erected in 1885, it is one of only three rotary jails still in existence today. In Squirrel Cage Jail, author S. M. Senden relates the history of the iconic Squirrel Cage jail, from its construction and operation to its closing in 1969 and subsequent purchase by the Council Bluffs park board for preservation in 1971. According to Senden, preservation wasn't easy and was ultimately buoyed by a fundraising effort led by the local historical society. Senden also highlights local criminals as well as some of the jail's more infamous prisoners and shares local folklore relating to the jail's reputation for being haunted. She says, "I hope readers will be spellbound by one of the most fascinating and haunting places in Iowa." Squirrel Cage Jail is available for purchase online at Amazon.

Book Synopsis Human Squirrel Cage by : Susan Cronk
Download or read book Human Squirrel Cage written by Susan Cronk and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's rotary jails were patented in 1881 by Haugh, Brown, and Ketcham of Indianapolis, Indiana. They were promoted as one of the safest, securest of jail designs and claimed that their interiors of steel and iron were both "saw-proof and file-proof." The design ultimately failed on all accounts. There were multiple escapes, recorded incidents of injury and death, and at least one instance where the prisoners inside were shocked when a bolt of lightning struck nearby. That was at the Nodaway County jail. This book not only details the long and interesting history of the Nodaway County rotary jail, which I and my family lived in during my father's term as sheriff between 1977 and 1980, but it encapsulates the history of all five jails, to date, that Nodaway County has built and used.The Human Squirrel Cage, or rotary jail, located in Nodaway County, Missouri was the third jail of its kind constructed in the United States. There were only eighteen built, in total. The first completed was at Crawfordsville, Indiana, in January of 1882. The second was finished in July of 1882 in Paducah, Kentucky. The Nodaway County rotary jail aka Lazy-Susan jail or merry-go-round jail was finished in December of 1882. Missouri is the only state to have constructed three rotary jails. The rotary jail built in the Nodaway County seat of Maryville, was the first of its kind in the state, and the largest of those three. It was the last rotary jail in use as a jail in the country, standing for over 102 years and 1 month, even though its rotary cages stopped revolving and was fixed in place in 1932. Only three "human squirrel cages," as they became known, remain standing today. All three are museums. The first is located in Crawfordsville, Indiana. The second is located in Gallatin, Missouri. The third is located in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The Nodaway County rotary jail was razed in 1985 to make way for the jail in use today. I hope you enjoy reading the Human Squirrel Cage - Nodaway County's Rotary Jail as much as I have enjoyed working on this project.

Book Synopsis Albion's Seed by : David Hackett Fischer
Download or read book Albion's Seed written by David Hackett Fischer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-03-14 with total page 981 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.
Book Synopsis The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by : Julian Jaynes
Download or read book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind written by Julian Jaynes and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2000-08-15 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry
