This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A marvelous recounting of the 1901 World’s Fair. Every chapter sparkles.… The Buffalo-Niagara Falls extravaganza comes alive in these pages. Highly recommended!” —Douglas Brinkley, author of The Wilderness Warrior The Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, dazzled with its new rainbow-colored electric lights. It showcased an array of wonders, like daredevils attempting to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel, or the “Animal King” putting the smallest woman in the world and also terrifying animals on display. But the thrill-seeking spectators little suspected that an assassin walked the fairgrounds, waiting for President William McKinley to arrive. In Margaret Creighton’s hands, the result is “a persuasive case that the fair was a microcosm of some momentous facets of the United States, good and bad, at the onset of the American Century” (Howard Schneider, Wall Street Journal).

Book excerpt: 1901 Buffalo World's Fair: The Pan-American Exposition in PhotographsCelebrate the turn of the century, triumph, tragedy, and the rise of American industry at one of the all-time spectacular World's Fairs in the city of Buffalo.Electricity, art, architecture, science, and industry ruled the day in 1901 as the United States, and the world marveled at the rise of the newest superpower in "The Rainbow City," as it was called because of the multicolored buildings and festive lighting displays. Though the assassination of President William McKinley, in the Temple of Music, cast a dark cloud over the event and remains the Fair's most notable occurrence, its beautiful buildings, lighting effects, and elegant lagoons remain a vivid memory thanks to the miracle of photography.The Pan-American Exposition covered 350 acres in the City of Buffalo and played host to roughly 8 million people between May 1st and November 2nd, 1901. Built to celebrate American military superiority and technological accomplishments, visitors marveled at elaborate temporary structures such as the illuminated Tower of Light, The Triumphal Bridge, Pergola, Court of Fountains, Ethnology Building, Midway, and countless sculptures from the best artists of the day.This informative guide to Fair includes hundreds of photographs, many rare. A detailed map guides readers through the fairgrounds as a visitor might have a century ago to marvel at the picturesque scenery, lavish waterways, and festive Midway built to arouse the senses intrigue the mind.

Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK It is 1901 and Buffalo, New York, stands at the center of the nation's attention as a place of immense wealth and sophistication. The massive hydroelectric power development at nearby Niagara Falls and the grand Pan-American Exposition promise to bring the Great Lakes “city of light” even more repute. Against this rich historical backdrop lives Louisa Barrett, the attractive, articulate headmistress of the Macaulay School for Girls. Protected by its powerful all-male board, “Miss Barrett” is treated as an equal by the men who control the life of the city. Lulled by her unique relationship with these titans of business, Louisa feels secure in her position, until a mysterious death at the power plant triggers a sequence of events that forces her to return to a past she has struggled to conceal, and to question everything and everyone she holds dear. Both observer and participant, Louisa Barrett guides the reader through the culture and conflicts of a time and place where immigrant factory workers and nature conservationists protest violently against industrialists, where presidents broker politics, where wealthy “Negroes” fight for recognition and equality, and where women struggle to thrive in a system that allows them little freedom. Wrought with remarkable depth and intelligence, City of Light remains a work completely of its own era, and of ours as well. A stirring literary accomplishment, Lauren Belfer's first novel marks the debut of a fresh voice for the new millennium and heralds a major publishing event.

Download or read book McKinley, Murder and the Pan-American Exposition written by Roger Pickenpaugh and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-07-29 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 6, 1901, President William McKinley held a public reception at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. In the receiving line, holding a gun concealed by a handkerchief, was Leon Czolgosz, a young man with anarchist leanings. When he reached McKinley, Czolgosz fired two shots, one of which would prove fatal. The backdrop of the assassination was among the largest of many world's fairs held in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Exposition celebrated American progress, highlighting the new technology electricity. Over 100,000 light bulbs outlined the Exposition's building--on display inside were the latest inventions utilizing the new power source. This new treatment of the McKinley assassination is the first to focus on the compelling story of the Exposition: its labor and construction challenges; the garish Midway; the fight for inclusion of an accurate African-American display to offset racist elements of the Midway; and the impressive exhibit halls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert W. Rydell contends that America's early world's fairs actually served to legitimate racial exploitation at home and the creation of an empire abroad. He looks in particular to the "ethnological" displays of nonwhites—set up by showmen but endorsed by prominent anthropologists—which lent scientific credibility to popular racial attitudes and helped build public support for domestic and foreign policies. Rydell's lively and thought-provoking study draws on archival records, newspaper and magazine articles, guidebooks, popular novels, and oral histories.
