Book Synopsis Historic Tales of Windham by : Derek Saffie
Download or read book Historic Tales of Windham written by Derek Saffie and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-13 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The natural beauty and fertile lands of Windham drew first the Pawtucket Indians and then Scotch-Irish settlers. The town's rich history is full of intriguing stories, including Wallace Fessenden's unscrupulous baseball umpiring, the return of a native son after his burial at sea in Indonesia and the poetic life of the Rustic Bard, Robert Dinsmoor. Tourism boomed as early as the 1850s, when visitors flocked to the waterside temptations of Canobie Lake and later Cobbett's Pond, where eccentric millionaire Edward Searles built his famous castle. Local historian Derek Saffie weaves together a collection of historic stories from the settlement's roots as Nutfield to the town of Windham.

Book Synopsis Alabama, One Big Front Porch by : Kathryn Tucker Windham
Download or read book Alabama, One Big Front Porch written by Kathryn Tucker Windham and published by NewSouth Books. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many of Alabama's finest stories used to begin with a reference to 'the night the stars fell,' and even now there is an inclination among some residents to divide local history into two segments: before the stars fell and after the stars fell. That would make November 13, 1833, the dividing line. "Thousands of Alabamians, thinking the end of the world was at hand when they saw the heavenly spectacle, fell to their knees to plead for mercy and forgiveness. Others promised eternal renunciation of sin (card playing, dancing, whiskey drinking, cursing, and associated vices) if they were spared whatever catastrophes were in the offing. Still others jumped upon horses and tried to outrace the fearful menace they believed was pursuing them.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ...Spencer Beard, one year at South Killingly, seven and one-half years at Willimantic, total a service of nearly fifty-eight years for the churches of Eastern Connecticut. Mr. Beard never had enjoyed good health. He came to South Killingly almost as an invalid and it was not knowing whether he should stay more than six months. It was a constant battle most of the years with impaired digestion and uncertain nerves. South Killingly was at that time essentially an American community. No man ever had abler support than that which was enjoyed in the person of the two deacons and their families, Joseph C. Ayer and George W. Pike. In the same category belongs the faithful treasurer and scribe, Mr. Charles T. Preston, who I suspect has been the financial head of the church for nearly sixty years.. The methods which Mr. Beard employed were not modern. There was a preaching service on Sunday morning, followed by the Sunday school and Service for Prayer and Conference in the evening. There were frequent midweek services in schoolhouses and in the homes of the parish. Oiferings were taken each year for all the missionary objects of the Congregational Church. Occasionally there were meetings due to especial interest, but it was the method of Christian nurture which brought most of the men and women and boys and girls into the membership of the church. The fact that the membership is almost a negligible quantity today makes the following statement concerning its sons and daughters of more value. Mr. and Mrs. Beard soon discovered after reaching this field that their main eflort ought to be put forth for the boys and girls.
