Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Driving Clubs of Greater Boston As the outcome of several chance meetings of the horsemen of Hyde Park, Milton and Dorchester in the several blacksmith shops, and especially in the shop of E. P. Denn and the stable office of H. P. Gallup, on Barnes Street. Dorchester, was organized on April 26, 1899, the Dorchester Gentlemen's Driving Club. It was the first driving club in this country whose by-laws and constitution called for weekly meeting of its members and weekly racing of horses for ribbons. The first election of officers was held on May 10. 1899. and showed over a hundred horse owners enrolled on its membership list. The election resulted in the following board of officers: President, Charles L. Young; first vice-president. S. Walter Wales; second vice-president, Louis Pfingst; secretary, Charles H. Belledeu; treasurer, John M. E. Morrill; clerk, E. O. Haddock; directors, T. A. Bresnahan. Cyril G. Blaney, Frederick J. Brand, George H. Greenwood, and Charles L. Bartlett; racing and speedway committee, R. S. Fitch. C. H. Belledeu. A. S. Gushee. F. T. Brand. S. H. Mildram, L. E. H. Tones, Geo. B. Fowler, H. P. Gallup, F. S. Eldfedge, F. L. Codman. Alpheus Sanford; membership committee, Geo. E. Griffin, W. E. Newbert, C. L. Hinds; finance committee, R. S. Fitch, George H. Greenwood and H. P. Gallup. Weekly matinee races were held on the Blue Hill Avenue quarter-mile speedway, that had been granted the club by the city and which was kept in condition for racing by money secured from among the members, many of whom went down into their pocket for as high as $25 each. And this brings to mind what happened to a number of the members of the club on the very first day racing was permitted on Blue Hill Avenue, which is well worth reading. On account of Captain Charles W. Hunt and the police of the Dorchester district not being notified of the order signed by Mayor Quincy, allowing the west side of Blue Hill Avenue between Talbot Avenue and Morton Street to be used for a speedway, several members of the Dorchester Driving Club narrowly escaped being arrested for fast driving. When a mounted policeman saw several of the club members start to race their horses he stopped them and said that he should be compelled to place them under arrest. The drivers told the policeman that a permit had been granted, but they could not show it. The officer started to take them to the police station, but afterward agreed to telephone from the nearest signal box. He talked with Captain Hunt, but the latter said that he knew of no permit. Captain Hunt told the policeman to come to the station. He did so, and there the matter was discussed. Finally it was decided that the officer should take the names of those on the "Speedway," and if it should be found that an order permitting them to race had not been passed, they should lie summoned into court instead of being actually arrested. Among the names of those taken was S. Walter Wales, the well-known stable man; A. S. Gushee, C. L. Young, W. E. Newbert and Charles F. Stevens. They found Councilman Mildram and explained the difficulty they were in. A hurried visit to City Hall and police headquarters resulted in matters being straightened out, but many of them had several hours of worrying, fearful that they would figure in the criminal courts as violators of the law. Weekly meetings of the club were held in Central Hall on Center Street, Monday nights, where the result of the races of the previous week were announced and the horses matched for the next Saturday. This matching was always done by a special sub-committee of the racing and speedway committee, and the schedules of matches were announced after a recess of the business meeting. This schedule of matches was never satisfactory to any one, and, no matter how fair they were, no one expected they would be. so there was always an argument for and against putting cer

Book excerpt: "Dark Tide is the definitive account of America's most fascinating and surreal disaster." -John Marr, San Francisco Bay Guardian Shortly after noon on January 15, 1919, a fifty-foot-tall steel tank filled with 2.3 million gallons of molasses collapsed on Boston's waterfront, disgorging its contents as a fifteen-foot-high wave of molasses that briefly traveled at thirty-five miles an hour. Dark Tide tells the compelling story of this man-made disaster that claimed the lives of twenty-one people and scores of animals and caused widespread destruction. Dark Tide has been selected as a "town-wide reading book" for five Massachusetts communities including Holliston, Mass. "Narrated with gusto . . . [Puleo's] enthusiasm for a little-known catastrophe is infectious." -The New Yorker "Compelling . . . Puleo has done justice to a gripping historical story." -Ralph Ranalli, Boston Globe "Thoroughly researched, the volume weaves together the stories of the people and families affected by the disaster . . . The cleanup lasted months, the lawsuits years, the fearful memories a lifetime." -Randolph E. Schmid, Associated Press "Giving a human face to tragedy is part of the brilliance of Stephen Puleo's Dark Tide . . . Until they were given voice in this book, the characters who drove the story were forgotten." -Caroline Leavitt, Boston Sunday Globe

Book excerpt: “Puleo has found a new way to tell the story with this well-researched and splendidly written chronicle of the Jamestown, its captain, and an Irish priest who ministered to the starving in Cork city...Puleo’s tale, despite the hardship to come, surely is a tribute to the better angels of America’s nature, and in that sense, it couldn’t be more timely.” —The Wall Street Journal The remarkable story of the mission that inspired a nation to donate massive relief to Ireland during the potato famine and began America's tradition of providing humanitarian aid around the world More than 5,000 ships left Ireland during the great potato famine in the late 1840s, transporting the starving and the destitute away from their stricken homeland. The first vessel to sail in the other direction, to help the millions unable to escape, was the USS Jamestown, a converted warship, which left Boston in March 1847 loaded with precious food for Ireland. In an unprecedented move by Congress, the warship had been placed in civilian hands, stripped of its guns, and committed to the peaceful delivery of food, clothing, and supplies in a mission that would launch America’s first full-blown humanitarian relief effort. Captain Robert Bennet Forbes and the crew of the USS Jamestown embarked on a voyage that began a massive eighteen-month demonstration of soaring goodwill against the backdrop of unfathomable despair—one nation’s struggle to survive, and another’s effort to provide a lifeline. The Jamestown mission captured hearts and minds on both sides of the Atlantic, of the wealthy and the hardscrabble poor, of poets and politicians. Forbes’ undertaking inspired a nationwide outpouring of relief that was unprecedented in size and scope, the first instance of an entire nation extending a hand to a foreign neighbor for purely humanitarian reasons. It showed the world that national generosity and brotherhood were not signs of weakness, but displays of quiet strength and moral certitude. In Voyage of Mercy, Stephen Puleo tells the incredible story of the famine, the Jamestown voyage, and the commitment of thousands of ordinary Americans to offer relief to Ireland, a groundswell that provided the collaborative blueprint for future relief efforts, and established the United States as the leader in international aid. The USS Jamestown’s heroic voyage showed how the ramifications of a single decision can be measured not in days, but in decades.

Book excerpt: How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.

Download or read book The Boston Jazz Chronicles written by Richard Vacca and published by Troy Street Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has always been more to music in Boston than the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Jazz, for example, dates to the early 1900s, but it was in the 1940s and 1950s that it truly sparkled. The Boston Jazz Chronicles: Faces, Places, and Nightlife 1937-1962 is the first book to document that city's active jazz scene at mid-century. Boston jazz came into its own during the World War II years, when the big bands supplied America with its popular music, and Boston's Charlie and Cy Shribman were among the kingmakers of the big-band era. The city produced such talents as pianist and bandleader Sabby Lewis, the multi-instrumentalist Ray Perry, and bassist Lloyd Trotman. The scene benefited from the extended wartime presence of established stars, including trumpeter Frankie Newton and trombonist Vic Dickenson, and from the start of a Sunday afternoon jam session tradition that brought the nation's best jazzmen into regular contact with local players. There were opportunities for musicians, particularly young musicians, to gain valuable experience by filling in for the older men serving in the military. The end of the war introduced new jazz sounds to Boston, and reintroduced a few older ones as well. Alongside those musicians like Lewis still playing swing, there were others looking to the past for inspiration, sparking a Dixieland revival, and still others looking forward, spreading the new sound of bebop. There were big-band survivors in downsized groups playing jump blues, and others organizing new big bands along modern lines. The end of the war also brought a surge of talented musicians, many of them veterans and beneficiaries of the GI Bill. They were attracted by the city's music conservatories and the new Schillinger House, soon to be renamed the Berklee School of Music. Boston became a destination for musicians seeking new musical direction. Here they joined with Boston's own contingent of formidable musicians to form a new, more modern scene, led by such luminaries as Jaki Byard, Joe Gordon, Nat Pierce, Charlie Mariano, Herb Pomeroy, Sam Rivers, Alan Dawson, and Dick Twardzik. They would carry Boston jazz to a creative peak in the mid-to-late 1950s that still remains unequaled. The music was splendid, but there was more. Boston was home to influential jazz journalists George Frazier and Nat Hentoff; Berklee College of Music founder Lawrence Berk; Father Norman O'Connor, the Jazz Priest; record company executive and producer Tom Wilson; and Storyville nightclub proprietor George Wein, organizer of the Newport Jazz Festival. And through it all was the music, at the Ken Club, the Savoy Cafe, the Hi-Hat, the Stable, and other rooms both rowdy and refined. The Boston Jazz Chronicles relates this story in reportage and personal anecdotes, and through dozens of photographs, advertisements, and period maps. This complete study also includes extensive notes, a bibliography, discography, and comprehensive index. Author Richard Vacca is a writer and editor with a lifelong interest in cultural history, and he writes and speaks regularly about Boston's jazz and nightlife. He spent seven years researching and writing The Boston Jazz Chronicles, his first book. He is now writing the second volume of the Chronicles, taking the story into the late 1980s. Vacca blogs about Boston, jazz, and history at his website, troystreet.com.
