Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Opening the Iron Trail It is fifty years ago, this year 1919, that the first of the iron trails across the United States, between the East and the West, was finally completed. At noon of May 10, 1869, the last four rails in the new Pacific Railway were laid, and upon Promontory Point, Utah, about fifty miles westward from Ogden, the locomo tive of the Union Pacific and the locomotive of the Central Pacific touched noses. That was indeed a great event. The Union Pacific, coming from Omaha at the Missouri River, had built over one thousand miles of track in three years; the Central Pacific, coming from Sacramento at the Pacific Ocean, had built over six hundred miles in the same space. Altogether, in seven years there had been built one thousand, seven hun dred and seventy-five miles of main track, and the side-tracks, stations, water - tanks, and so forth. In one year the Union Pacific had laid four hundred and twenty-five miles of track; in the same year the Central Pacific had laid three hundred and sixty-three miles. In one day the Union Pacific had laid seven and three quarters miles; in one day the Central! Pacific had laid a full ten miles. These records have' never been beaten.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trails to Two Moons Original Bill's life was one of variety; it was ebullient and replete with unpremeditated climaxes. Withal, the life of his choosing. He was of the cattle clan, born to it in that day when every youth in Texas looked forward to riding the trail with the longhorns, just the Gloucester and New Bedford boy of the heroic age of sail looked through schoolhouse windows to high harbor spars. The chivalry of the cattle clan had been bred in him by long hours on night herd, by the harrowing moments of stampede in a thunderstorm, the rollicking fellowship of the round-up.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Forest Hearth: A Romance of Indiana in the Thirties One woman Of that sort, I knew, Mrs. Margarita Bays. TO her face, or in the presence of those who might repeat my words, I Of course called her Mrs. Bays; but when I felt safe in so doing, I called her the Chief Justice a title conferred by my friend, Billy Little. Later happen ings in her life caused Little to Christen her my Lady Jeffreys, a sobriquet bestowed upon her because Of the manner in which she treated her daughter, whose name was also Margarita. The daughter, because she was as sweet as the wild rose, and as gentle as the soft Spring sun, received from her friends the affectionate diminutive Of Rita. And so I shall name her in this history. Had not Rita been so gentle, yielding, and submissive, or had her father, Tom Bays, - husband to the Chief Justice, - been more combative and less amenable to the corroding influences Of henpeck, I doubt if Madam Bays would ever have attained a dignity beyond that Of Asso ciate Justice. That strong sense Of domineering virtue which belongs to the truly just must be fed, and it waxes fat on an easy-going husband and a loving, tender daughter. In the Bays home, the mother's righteous sense Of justice and duty, which applied itself relentlessly upon husband and daughter, became the weakest sort Of indulgence when dealing with the only son and heir. Without being vicious, Tom, Jr., was what the negroes called jes' Clean and dominated his mother with an inherited club Of inborn selfishness. Before Tom's selfishness, Justice threw away her scales and became maudlin sentiment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Drawn into the fairytale existence of his power and wealth, Grace is unable to see what her family and friends see, and ignores the warning signs of Dr. Benjamin Hayward's dark side.

Download or read book Hunting and Fishing in the New South written by Scott E. Giltner and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative study re-examines the dynamics of race relations in the post–Civil War South from an altogether fresh perspective: field sports. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, wealthy white men from Southern cities and the industrial North traveled to the hunting and fishing lodges of the old Confederacy—escaping from the office to socialize among like-minded peers. These sportsmen depended on local black guides who knew the land and fishing holes and could ensure a successful outing. For whites, the ability to hunt and fish freely and employ black laborers became a conspicuous display of their wealth and social standing. But hunting and fishing had been a way of life for all Southerners—blacks included—since colonial times. After the war, African Americans used their mastery of these sports to enter into market activities normally denied people of color, thereby becoming more economically independent from their white employers. Whites came to view black participation in hunting and fishing as a serious threat to the South’s labor system. Scott E. Giltner shows how African-American freedom developed in this racially tense environment—how blacks' sense of competence and authority flourished in a Jim Crow setting. Giltner’s thorough research using slave narratives, sportsmen’s recollections, records of fish and game clubs, and sporting periodicals offers a unique perspective on the African-American struggle for independence from the end of the Civil War to the 1920s.

Book excerpt: This is a book about sinners, for sinners, by quite a big sinner. You may not like it. You may even hate it, as some are sure to do. You may dislike the theme, for, though it introduces lovely people, it comes to grips with an unlovely subject. And solves its riddle. You may dislike the characters as they are limned in print, but not in real life. As they are all living, you may encounter them yourself someday, and discover their excellence. At least one will live on as an historic figure when this generation has merged with the ages. Perhaps many. Meanwhile, none can disprove the contents of this book or avoid its challenge. The story is true; the challenge is to you.

Download or read book History of Walton County written by John Love McKinnon and published by Pantianos Classics. This book was released on 1911 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This superb history takes us from the earliest settlement of Walton County, Florida, through its role in the wars and conflicts of the 19th century, to its development as a modern district. John Love McKinnon was a descendant of Colonel John L. McKinnon, who was one of the original founders of Walton County, being part of a trio of white men to first set foot upon the land. The colonel's expeditionary accounts are a significant source for the first part of this history, which discusses the characteristics of the land, the picturesque coastline, and its suitability for settlement. A clear appreciation for natural beauty graces this chronicle; the streams, fields, groves and woods of the land are evocatively described. At first sparsely populated, by the time of the U.S. Civil War many young men of the area were recruited for combat in the Confederacy. Though the area itself escaped skirmishing, several local residents fought in the large battles of the war, such as Chickamauga. On several occasions this history becomes biography, recounting the stories of individual lives and the legacy they left upon the community, be it in military prowess or with establishing the first schools and businesses.
