INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT FOR A CANAL. It would be difficult to say precisely where or when the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal project had its origin. The Board of Public Works of Virginia, soon after its creation by Act of Assembly in 1816, had suggested that a connection might be effected between the waters of the Potomac and those of the Ohio "by a navigable canal." 1 There was no response to this suggestion, but in 1819 the board received an application from the Potomac Company for an examination with a view to decide upon the best policy to be adopted for the future in order to give full effect to the purposes of that company's charter.2 As a result of this appeal, the General Assembly of Virginia passed a resolution, January 8, 1820, requesting the Board of Public Works to inquire into the expediency of directing the principal engineer to examine the waters of the Potomac, above the upper line of the District of Columbia, with a view to ascertain and report upon the most efficient means of im 1 House Report No. 90, 19th Congress, 2d Session, 2. 2 The Potomac Company was chartered by Virginia in 1784; the charter was confirmed by Maryland in 1785, and in the same year George Washington was chosen president. The company at once engaged in a determined and persistent effort to render navigable the channel of the Potomac River. The effort was only partially successful. Only one dividend was ever paid ($3000, in 1811), and by 1819 the company had expended every dollar of its stock, its entire income for thirty-five years, besides creating a debt of $100,000, while the condition of the River channel was still so obstructed that the income from tolls was not sufficient to meet operating expenses. It was under these circumstances that...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Development of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Project Ground was broken for the work by John Quincy Adams, then President of the United States, on the Fourth of July, 1828, the same day on which ground was broken for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, by the venerable Charles Carroll, Of Carrollton. Thus auspiciously begun under the patronage Of the United States, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal soon came into the care of the state of Maryland, and was not completed to Cumberland until October, 1850, more than twenty-two years after the work was commenced.

Download or read book Albion's Seed written by David Hackett Fischer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-03-14 with total page 981 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

Book excerpt: Already obsolete by the time construction finished in 1850, the C&O Canal nevertheless remained in operation for seventy-four years, until 1924. By then, several devastating floods had sent the canal into receivership, and the canaller's way of life vanished due to competition from other forms of transportation and shipping, lack of funds, and natural disasters. Yet in 1828, when the young nation depended on its waterways, the C&O Canal served to link the port of Georgetown with Pittsburgh, thereby connecting the Chesapeake Bay and the Ohio River. The canal's inauguration realized the dream of speculators such as George Washington and others to connect the coastal plain, via the Potomac River, with the western frontier. Nowadays history and nature are jointly preserved along the canal's length. In "The C&O Canal", Dorothy Camagna's superb photography and narrative present a compelling account of the canal's mission, structures, and unique way of life. From tidewater Georgetown to Cumberland, the canal's ultimate terminus in the Allegheny Plateau, "The C&O Canal" brilliantly illustrates the allure of both the former waterway and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '...from time to time a study comes along that truly can be called ‘path breaking,’ ‘seminal,’ ‘essential,’ a ‘must read.’ How the Irish Became White is such a study.' John Bracey, W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies, University of Massachussetts, Amherst The Irish came to America in the eighteenth century, fleeing a homeland under foreign occupation and a caste system that regarded them as the lowest form of humanity. In the new country – a land of opportunity – they found a very different form of social hierarchy, one that was based on the color of a person’s skin. Noel Ignatiev’s 1995 book – the first published work of one of America’s leading and most controversial historians – tells the story of how the oppressed became the oppressors; how the new Irish immigrants achieved acceptance among an initially hostile population only by proving that they could be more brutal in their oppression of African Americans than the nativists. This is the story of How the Irish Became White.

Download or read book Urban Stormwater Management in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.
