Book Synopsis The Centennial Northwest by : Charles Richard Tuttle
Download or read book The Centennial Northwest written by Charles Richard Tuttle and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-18 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Centennial Northwest: An Illustrated History of the Northwest, Being a Full and Complete Civil, Political and Military History of This Great Section of the United States, From Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time Which the great result has been attained will be found, glanced at rather than described, but still touched in the pages of this book. It is true that the gov ernment of this country is not capable of. Arbitrary strength, because it oper ates in society as volition rules in the individual; but the popular judgment once convinced, and its feeling aroused to action exerts through the sovereign form a power against which it is Useless to struggle, and before which every wrong must succumb. The grand features of a free press in the union Could have no better illustration than is supplied by the fact that there is no censor ship but public opinion, a power which can and must be moulded by the press itself. It cannot be denied that some portions of the journalistic litera ture of this country are partisan to a reprehensible degree, but that is an ih evitable concomitant of our social growth under party government, the phase of life through which the nation is passing, toward the next evolution, possi ble only in the midst of an enlightened people, the rule of the wisest and best, expressing the highest thought of the community. The growth of the newspaper press will be found traced by successive instances in the north west, from the petty sheet devoted almost entirely to advertisements, to the ih uential daily that wields a power which can be felt throughout the union; and arising from the taste thus formed and nurtured, the magazine literature of the day is graphically reviewed, as a yet more hopeful feature in press de velopment, toward which as well by patronage as by labor, this section of the union has not failed to contribute its quota. The church as a means of pro gressive effort has not been lost sight of in this history, because it has been found in every community in which the materials for a sketch have been collected, that the first and best steps toward social and intellectual organiza tion, have been in connection with the place of worship and the Sabbath school, leading up to a spiritual excellence and aesthetic culture, which will in the future rule the councils of the people. The value of secular training is not questioned, the conquests from nature, which from the curious experi ments with the Leyden jars and the Voltaic pile, were by the practical energy of an American newspaper man - Franklin - turned to such channels as that Faraday, an English bookbinder, carrying on 'the chain by which natural phenomena were surveyed, obtained the rotation of the needle round a mag netized wire, and laid the foundation of modern Telegraphy which again is largely due to the activity of American intellect will not admit of doubt; and few will be prepared to deny that electricity is to become every year more potent in aiding the progress of mankind by such works as electroplating, electrotyping and electro-dynamic machines. Which may eventually supersede steam itself; but above and beyond the uttermost triumph of science and art, the race has a necessity for spiritual culture, which the church in its varied forms must help immensely toward realization; hence the little meeting house of logs in the backwoods settlement has been recognized as an agent with which civilization cannot afford to dispense, and the successive steps, by which the edifice has gone on to ever-improving forms and grander dimeh sions, have been observed with the interest properly belonging to the highest essential in our lives.

Book Synopsis Outline Studies in the History of the Northwest (Classic Reprint) by : Frederick Jackson Turner
Download or read book Outline Studies in the History of the Northwest (Classic Reprint) written by Frederick Jackson Turner and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline Studies in the History of the Northwest These Outline Studies in the History of the Northwest cover three regions: - the triangle bounded by the Great Lakes, the Ohio, and the Mississippi; the Valley of the Missouri; and the Valley of the Columbia; - in other words, the Northwest Territory; the Louisiana Purchase north of the Missouri Compromise line; and the Oregon Territory. To these is added a group of topics on Alaska. The studies will serve as a guide to individual reading, but are especially designed for a club, and are arranged for fifteen meetings. A director should be chosen to assign topics to individual members, to modify the program to suit the peculiar conditions of the club, and to point out the relations between the topics. Every member of the club should prepare the subject for the evening in some general history. As a convenient popular guide Drake's Making of the Great West may be used, with the caution that it is not free from errors in matters of detail. The following works constitute a course of reading on the entire subject: Hinsdale's Old Northwest, Barrows' Oregon, Carr's Missouri, Spring's Kansas, Smalley's History of the Northern Pacific Railroad, and Elliott's Our Arctic Province. The three members to whom the topics for the evening have been assigned are expected to prepare them as thoroughly as possible, and present only leading facts in an oral or written discussion ten or fifteen minutes long. In the preparation of the topic the student should first consult some standard history of the United States, such as Bancroft, Hildreth, Bryant and Gay, McMasters, or Schouler.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young Northwest Many years ago, the noted California historian, Hubert Howe Bancroft, told the story of the Pacific Northwest in several fat volumes. Although he wrote nearly two million words, he did not carry the narrative beyond the late eighties. I have tried to tell the same story - in its entirety - in fewer than 70,000 words! Of necessity, great names have been omitted and significant events have been passed over. Still I believe that the main current of this dramatic narrative will be found on the pages which follow. I am indebted to various friends who have offered valuable suggestions and to many authors, living and dead, whose works I have consulted. Most of all, I am grateful to Miss Nellie B. Pipes of the Oregon Historical Society, and to Mr. Walter W. R. May of the Portland General Electric Company, who - cheerfully and without a whimper - undertook the thankless task of checking the manuscript.

The latter prevailed after a long and apparently even-matched warfare, and the hopes of France were dashed to the ground.

Book Synopsis Seattle, Past to Present by : Roger Sale
Download or read book Seattle, Past to Present written by Roger Sale and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger Sale’s Seattle, Past to Present has become a beloved reflection of Seattle’s history and its possible futures as imagined in 1976, when the book was first published. Drawing on demographic analysis, residential surveys, portraiture, and personal observation and reflection, Sale provides his take on what was most important in each of Seattle’s main periods, from the city’s founding, when settlers built a city great enough that the railroads eventually had to come; down to the post-Boeing Seattle of the 1970s, when the city was coming to terms with itself based on lessons from its past. Along the way, Sale touches on the economic diversity of late nineteenth-century Seattle that allowed it to grow; describes the major achievements of the first boom years in parks, boulevards, and neighborhoods of quiet elegance; and draws portraits of people like Vernon Parrington, Nellie Cornish, and Mark Tobey, who came to Seattle and flourished. The result is a powerful assessment of Seattle’s vitality, the result of old-timers and newcomers mixing both in harmony and in antagonism. With a new introduction by Seattle journalist Knute Berger, this edition invites today's readers to revisit Sale’s time capsule of Seattle—and perhaps learn something unexpected about this ever-changing city.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Great Northwest and Its Men of Progress: A Select List of Biographical Sketches and Portraits of the Leaders in Business, Professional and Official Life Vvhen, in 1492, Christopher Columbus landed on the island of Guanahani, he sup posed he had reached the land where the spices grow, or the Indies. He therefore, in all his accounts of his voyages, spoke of the dusky natives as Indians, that is, na rives of the Indies. When the error made by Columbus was discovered, it was too late to change the name either of the locality or of the people. The former was therefore called the West Indies, a name which ap plied collectively to the various islands and groups of islands which separate the Carib bean sea from the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. This name distinguished it from the spice regions in southeastern Asia, the discovery of a western sea-route to which had been the object of Columbus' voy age, and which were thereafter known as the East Indies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Early Northwest My father, Robert Irwin, r., came to Green Bay from Erie, Pa, in the year 1817 He was engaged in trade with the Indi ans and the few white settlers there at that time. The troops had been stationed at Green Bay about a year before, and their barracks at that time were on a hill about three miles from the mouth of the Fox river, called Camp Smith. It was in the vicinity of these barracks that the village sprang up where my father built his house, to which he brought my mother in the year 1820, a bride of nineteen. She was a native of Erie, Pa., and left a large circle of relatives; her grandfather, Col. Seth Reed, having been one of the first settlers of that place. It was on the first of October that my mother sailed up the beautiful Fox, upon the banks of which she resided most of the time for over sixty years. I have often heard her de scribe the day as being one of those soft, hazy days in autumn, so peculiar to our Indian summer, which after a stormy voy age up the lakes on a very small sailing vessel (having been driven back twice from; the mouth of Green Bay to Mackinaw by high winds), must have been delightful to her. There were but two or three American families outside the fort, but quite a number of French extraction, whom my parents ever held as valued friends. My first recollection of a home is of a house a story and a half high, situated on rising ground sloping down to the river.

Book Synopsis The Last Wilderness by : Murray Morgan
Download or read book The Last Wilderness written by Murray Morgan and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murray Morgan’s classic history of the Olympic Peninsula, originally published in 1955, evokes a remote American wilderness “as large as the state of Massachusetts, more rugged than the Rockies, its lowlands blanketed by a cool jungle of fir and pine and cedar, its peaks bearing hundreds of miles of living ice that gave rise to swift rivers alive with giant salmon." Drawing on historical research and personal tales collected from docks, forest trails, and waterways, Morgan recounts vivid adventures of the area’s settlers—loggers, hunters, prospectors, homesteaders, utopianists, murderers, profit-seekers, conservationists, Wobblies, and bureaucrats—alongside stories of coastal first peoples and striking descriptions of the peninsula’s wildlife and land. Freshly redesigned and with a new introduction by poet and environmentalist Tim McNulty, this humor-filled saga and landmark love story of one of the most formidably beautiful regions of the Pacific Northwest will inform and engage a new generation of readers.
