Book excerpt: Nestled at the foot of the Appalachian mountains and divided by the West Branch of the Susquehanna River, Williamsport's striking landscape provided inspiration as well as protection even before the town's inception in 1796. What was once the beacon of a thriving lumber industry and in time became the cradle of our nation's pastime with baseball's Little League World Series, has evolved into a city with a dynamic story rich in culture and tradition.

Book excerpt: Williamsport features an array of vintage postcards of the city in the early days to when it became the lumber capital of the world. The postcards highlight both Williamsport and the mighty Susquehanna River as early pioneers and founders made this uncharted frontier wilderness into a thriving Victorian metropolis. At one time, Williamsport was a contender for the Pennsylvania state capital due to its central location, political might of the day, and the fabulous wealth amassed from the lumber industry. Covering the early days of the Pennsylvania Canal to the visit and tales of Mark Twain to the makings of Williamsport's first millionaires of the early lumbering era, this rare collection of photographic correspondence provides a glorious glimpse into the city's illustrious past.

It is an artistic and cultural hub enjoying a revitalization, much of which is due to the discovery of Marcellus Shale and the gas industry. As the birthplace of Little League Baseball, Williamsport boasts an award-winning school district and public library, two nationally ranked colleges, and several landmarks listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Businesses like the Grit newspaper and Shop-Vac have been at the forefront of major industries, including aircraft engines, railroad transport, and manufacturing. A new generation of business owners is changing the downtown landscape through public art, community events, and cultural activities. No matter what challenges residents face, they are dedicated to preserving and advancing the city they call home.

Download or read book Pioneers of Second Fork written by James P. Burke and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating the undocumented mysteries of the past is similar to analyzing the remains of an old campfire pit. Only black, charded ashes remain of what once was a blazing fire. The smoke from the old campfire has long since disappeared into the atmosphere. the cracking sounds of hot flames dancing through the burning longs have long since vanished into memories of the past. The author's quest for information on the early pioneers of Second Fork has taken him from the State Museum in Augusta Maine to the Civil War prison in Andersonville, Georgia, visiting historical societies, libraries, museums, battlefields, cemeteries and other points of historical significance in between. He has interviewed numerous pioneer descendants and historians. The family profiles of these pioneers takes the reader on an adventure from the Court of Queen Catherine in England to the shores of Plymouth Harbor and on to Los Angles, California, founded by a son of a pioneer born and educated in the backwoods of Second Fork. Emerging from the bits and pieces of information, the author has rekindled the old campfire into an illuminating history of the Pioneers of Second Fork. James Burke is President of the Mt. Zion Historical Society. The Mt. Zion Historical Society has developed and currently is expanding a historical park dedicated to acknowledging and preserving the history and heritage of the Bennett's Branch.

Download or read book The Pawns of Prophecy written by M. Stoppa and published by M. C. Stoppa. This book was released on 2010-09-22 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Please note: The book you see here is not "The PawN of Prophecy" by David Eddings -- a wonderful fantasy novel set in ancient times -- instead this book is a fictional thriller based on The Book of Revelations and set in modern times).DESCRIPTION:The year is 2012. Doomsday Prophets again proclaim End of the World -- yet this time they may be correct - for as 2012 unfolds the disastrous events of The Book of Revelations finally begin to occur!And so the world wonders -- is there any hope?The answer is YES - and one man holds the key for saving us... Amazingly, St. John the Apostle is still alive in 2012 - having been blessed with the Gift of Immortality so that he could survive to fight the coming of The Antichrist. There's just one problem - over the course of the last 2,000 years, John has lost his faith. Now a crotchety old man who lives in upstate NY, John is still tormented by 'revelations' he cannot escape, and with nothing but time on his hands, he's taken up a few new hobbies: drinking craft beers, watching baseball, and listening to country music. Unfortunately for John (and the rest of us), NOW is the time when The Antichrist is rising to power. Only John can save us, but will he recover his faith in time to stop Armageddon or will Satan's Son achieve Ultimate Victory? "The Pawns of Prophecy" has been hailed by some as "The Christian Da Vinci Code" while others have called it "outrageous blasphemy." It's a fast-paced thriller based on The Book of Revelations, 2012 theories, and (allegedly) author-interviews of St John himself, and it will keep you guessing until the very end. Inherently controversial -- of which any Doomsday Scenario would be - "The Pawns of Prophecy" pushes the limits of contention, with references that the Nails used to crucify Jesus Christ may still exist, that the Pope may be involved in various secret societies in support of The Antichrist (or even that he IS the Antichrist), and that certain characters from the Bible may still be alive today but are now far different than you remember them. Intended for Christians AND non-Christians alike, it's perfect for anyone who enjoys suspense novels, conspiracy theories, and alternate histories. Is YOUR faith strong enough to read it?(NOTE: This book is available in the following formats: trade paperback, E-Book Full Version, or E-Book 4-Part Serial Version).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Potter County's abundance of forests in the late 1800s played a large part in making the town of Williamsport the lumber capital of the world. To the north, Galeton had one of the largest sawmills in the country and was the railroad hub of the county. Austin, Cross Fork, Germania, Shinglehouse, Harrison Valley, and other area towns also contributed a great deal during the logging era. There were sawmills, kindling wood factories, hub factories, stave and heading mills, and tanneries in almost every town in the county. Around Galeton and Coudersport showcases a large collection of vintage postcards of Potter County, opening a window back through time and providing a glimpse of life during the formation of the county.

Book excerpt: Grab a Zweigle's White Hot at Dwyer Stadium (built in 1939) and cheer on the Batavia Muckdogs. Join B.B. the Bluefish as he warms up the crowd at Bridgeport's Ballpark at Harbor Yard. Take in the view of Coney Island from the upper deck of MCU Park, home of the Brooklyn Cyclones. Watch from a box seat in Pawtucket as top Red Sox prospects try to make it to the bigs. . . . It's all part of minor league baseball in the Northeast. This book conveys the essence of the sport--from the sublime (summer nights under the lights cheering for a hometown team) to the ridiculous (racing bagels, cowboy monkeys, garish "alternate" uniforms--by visiting 27 minor league ballparks through the Northeast. It offers both a visitor's guide and an appealing narrative, covering the particulars of each venue--who plays there and when, how to get there, where to sit and what to eat--and describing what makes each park, and each team and town, special. It also offers a bit of history of the parks--the legends who played there and the great games they hosted. From Portland, Maine (home of the Sea Dogs) to Altoona, Pennsylvania (home of the Curve), this book features Triple-A, Double-A, and Single-A action from every part of the region.
