Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hywel Mortymer's story begins in 1800 when he is sixteen and a dramatic change in fortune leads him, innocent and inexperienced, to a brutal and dangerous life working in the coal mines. In the mines children can be horribly maimed in devastating gas explosions, or grow deformed with the burden of their labours and babies are born underground. Wales is in turmoil. A tragic divide between rich and poor, the workers powerless, penniless, starving and diseased sparks growing unrest as the newly founded Unions move inexorably towards the Chartist Rebellion. This Proud and Savage Land is a brilliantly detailed chronicle of early nineteenth- century Wales and a prelude to the bestselling Rape of the Fair Country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirit of the Proud Land: The Sequel tells the rest of the story of the Ridges and Westmorelands. The sequel begins in October of 1829, with Godfrey Ridge and Patrick O' Callahan signing on with a slave ship. However, at the time they were completely unaware that the sailing vessel's main cargo would be slaves. While on board the ship they became acquainted with Henry Shreve who planned an adventure up the Red River from New Orleans. While sailing the Red, their six-months quest would be remembered for the rest of their lives. The young men would travel with Henry Shreve on his historical journey to establish a port of entry now called Shreveport. After that historic, challenging experience, Godfrey became a scout for the Overland Freight Company. He would be successful in opening up new trails and freight depots into Tennessee as far as the Mississippi River. He would eventually accept his mother's marriage to Seth Wade, but only visited her on two separate occasions. Joseph Westmoreland raised his family in Montgomery County, Alabama. One of his younger sons, Reuben, would eventually leave the nest to see the new land they called

Download or read book Picturing a Nation: The Great Depression’s Finest Photographers Introduce America to Itself written by Martin W. Sandler and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A National Book Award winner mines photographic gold to show—and tell—the story of the Great Depression. In an exquisitely curated volume of 140 full-color and black-and-white photographs, Martin W. Sandler unpacks the United States Farm Security Administration’s sweeping visual record of the Great Depression. In 1935, with the nation bent under unprecedented unemployment and economic hardship, the FSA sent ten photographers, including Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and Gordon Parks, on the road trip of a lifetime. The images they logged revealed the daily lives of Southern sharecroppers, Dust Bowl farmers in the Midwest, Western migrant workers, and families scraping by in Northeast cities. Using their cameras as weapons against poverty and racism—and in service of hope, courage, and human dignity—these talented photographers created not only a collective work of art, but a national treasure. Grouped into four geographical regions and locked in focus by rich historical commentary, these images—many now iconic—are history at its most powerful and immediate. Extensive back matter includes photographer profiles and a bibliography.

Download or read book Urban Farming in the West written by Robert Carriker and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1933 to 1935, the federal government’s Division of Subsistence Homesteads created thirty-four New Deal communities that sought to provide a healthier and more economically secure life for disadvantaged Americans. These settlements were designed to combine the benefits of rural and urban living by offering part-time farming, uplifting social functions, and inexpensive homes. Four were located in the West: in Phoenix, Arizona; El Monte and San Fernando, California; and Longview, Washington. Robert Carriker examines for the first time the intricate histories of these subsistence homestead projects, which have long been buried in bureaucratic records and clouded by misunderstanding, showing that in many ways they were among the agency’s most successful efforts. He provides case studies of the projects, rescuing their obscure histories using archival documents and rare photographs. He also reveals the machinations of civic groups and private citizens across the West who jockeyed for access to the funds being allotted for New Deal community building. By describing what took place on these western homesteads, Carriker shows that the DSH’s agenda was not as far-fetched as some have reported. The tendency to condemn the Division and its projects, he argues, has failed to appreciate the good that came from some of the individual homestead communities—particularly those in the Far West. Although overshadowed by the larger undertakings of the New Deal, some of these western communities remain thriving neighborhoods—living legacies to FDR’s efforts that show how the country once chose to deal with economic hardship. Too often the DSH is noted for its failures; Carriker’s study shows that its western homesteads were instead qualified accomplishments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographs are used as documents, evidence, and records every day in courtrooms, hospitals, and police work, on passports, permits, and licenses. But how did such usages come to be established and accepted, and when? What kinds of photographs were seen seen as purely instrumental and able to function in this way? What sorts of agencies and institutions had the power to give them this status? And more generally, what conception of photographic representation did this involve, and what were its consequences?
