Download or read book Richmond written by Susan E. King and Thomas D. Hamm and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded by Quakers from North Carolina more than 200 years ago, Richmond boasts a rich and colorful history. White and black migrants from older parts of the United States joined emigrants from Ireland and Germany to create a diverse, flourishing, and at times contentious community. Railroads, the Whitewater Canal, and the National Road laid the foundations for economic growth before the Civil War, and Richmond grew steadily in population and prosperity from the Civil War until the late 20th century. Local folklore claims that at one time the city had more millionaires in proportion to population than any other place in the United States. While erecting remarkable homes and buildings, founding enduring institutions like schools, churches, and museums, and supporting at one time as many as six newspapers, Richmond produced memorable and colorful characters who left their mark not just in Richmond and Indiana, but around the United States.

This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the facts and mysteries surrounding the history and collapse of Richmond, Virginia's Church Hill Tunnel. A must for fans of railroad and Richmond history. Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, was in shambles after the Civil War. The bulk of Reconstruction became dependent on the railways, and one of the most important links in the system was the Church Hill Tunnel. The tunnel was eventually rendered obsolete by an alternative path over a viaduct, and it was closed for regular operation in 1902. However, the city still used it infrequently to transport supplies, and it was maintained with regular safety inspections. The city decided to reopen the tunnel in 1925 due to overcrowding on the viaduct, but the tunnel needed to be strengthened and enlarged. On October 2, 1925, 190 ft. of the tunnel unexpectedly caved in, trapping construction workers and an entire locomotive inside. In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the tunnel and the mystery surrounding its collapse. There were cave-ins and sink holes above the surface for decades after the tunnel was sealed up, and in 1998, a reporter from the Richmond Times-Dispatch did an investigation, trying to determine the current condition of the tunnel. In 2006, the Virginia Historical Society announced its efforts to try and excavate the locomotive and remaining bodies.

Download or read book Richmond's Wartime Hospitals written by Rebecca Barbour Calcutt and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 2005-03-31 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of Civil War medical practice examines the harrowing circumstances faced by doctors and hospitals in Virginia’s capitol. The Civil War erupted toward the end of a period known as “the medical Middle Ages,” before modern knowledge of bacteria and antiseptics. Doctors of the time, who were considered fully trained after only two-years of study, had few diagnostic tools beyond their own reckoning at hand. While medical science saw significant advances during the Civil War, hospitals in the Southern states faced overwhelming casualties with few supplies and inadequate personnel. In this study of wartime medical facilities in Richmond, Virginia, Rebecca Calcutt illustrates how exhausted resources rapidly defeated southern doctors’ heroic efforts. Richmond’s Wartime Hospitals covers the more than fifty hospitals, covering each facility’s location, dates of operation, and surgeon in charge. Where archival information is available, Calcutt includes detailed descriptions of the buildings, first-person accounts of day-to-day operations, and other historical anecdotes.
