Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positioned at the heart of Nassau County, Garden City sits like a crown jewel among the communities on Long Island. And it has a history to match. The brainchild of textile mogul Alexander Turney Stewart, who bought the last of the treeless Hempstead Plains to build his village, Garden City would emerge as the Eden of Long Island, a community for people with refined tastes but who believed in living a virtuous life. Thanks to his devoted wife, Cornelia Clinch Stewart, Stewart's legacy was furthered with the creation of the iconic Cathedral of the Incarnation and the Cathedral Schools of St. Paul and St. Mary. The Garden City Company later ensured that Garden City would remain an ideal place to live and to raise a family. But there is more. Its genteel reputation aside, Garden City showed the entire country that it could also meet a higher purpose, playing a vital role in Long Island's Golden Age of Aviation and during World War I with the formation of Camp Mills. With so much history to draw from, Garden City is a community nonpareil, a proud product of an extraordinary heritage.

Download or read book Badminton School: the First 150 Years written by Nigel Watson and published by Third Millennium Information. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated volume tells the story of the school from its foundation by Miriam Badock in 1858, right up to the present day. It traces the transformation of Badminton under the Headship of Beatrice Baker (1912-46), who had somewhat radical political views and is undoubtedly the individual most responsible for shaping the ethos of the school.The novelist Iris Murdoch, a former pupil, recalled: ''I went to this eccentric and, I think, very good school. It was rather left-wing ... with enlightened liberal views and an internationally-minded idealistic ethos. We were to serve the world and help our society, and also to seek academic excellence. We were interested in politics and world affairs, world peace and the League of Nations ... ''Laced with a mix of serious, amusing and moving anecdotes, Badminton School: The First 150 Years captures the many changing phases of a very individual school for girls, which still today remains true to the cosmopolitan, internationalist outlook forged in the past, while developing in recent years an outstanding academic record and a reputation for allowing girls to develop their true potential across a wide range of activities.Edited by Nigel Watson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be a Canadian? What great ideas have changed our country? An award-winning writer casts her eye over our nation’s history, highlighting some of our most important stories. From the acclaimed historian Charlotte Gray comes a richly rewarding book about what it means to be Canadian. Readers already know Gray as an award-winning biographer, a writer who has brilliantly captured significant individuals and dramatic moments in our history. Now, in The Promise of Canada, she weaves together masterful portraits of nine influential Canadians, creating a unique history of our country. What do these people—from George-Étienne Cartier and Emily Carr to Tommy Douglas, Margaret Atwood, and Elijah Harper—have in common? Each, according to Charlotte Gray, has left an indelible mark on Canada. Deliberately avoiding a top-down approach to history, Gray has chosen Canadians—some well-known, others less so—whose ideas, she argues, have become part of our collective conversation about who we are as a people. She also highlights many other Canadians from all walks of life who have added to the ongoing debate, showing how our country has reinvented itself in every generation since Confederation, while at the same time holding to certain central beliefs. Beautifully illustrated with evocative black-and-white historical images and colorful artistic visions, and written in an engaging style, The Promise of Canada is a fresh, thoughtful, and inspiring view of our historical journey. Opening doors into our past, present, and future with this masterful work, Charlotte Gray makes Canada’s history come alive and challenges us to envision the country we want to live in.

Download or read book The Land Across the River written by Curt Dalton and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-29 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Land Across the River tells the story of the first 150 years of history of the West Side of Dayton - from 1799 to just a little past Orville Wright's death in 1948. This book is a little different than what I normally write. There are no chapters, but instead events flow more or less in chronological order. Notes are included at the end of the book that will allow readers to know where they can find more information. A book with ten times as many pages as this one could have been written and would still barely have touched the amazing history of the West Side. Because of this, much of the focus is on the area now known as the West Third Street Historic District, where most of the action took place during the time period this book covers. It tells about the personalities of some of the people who lived there: like the bicycle makers who also built and flew the first practical airplane, the first black poet to garner national acclaim, the patent medicine makers who claimed to cure almost every disease known to man and the publisher who was known to reprint books without regard as to whether it was legal for him to do so. It speaks of the West Side Colony, made up of workers from Hungary and Rumania who were recruited to work at the Dayton Malleable Iron Company. All this, and much more, will be found inside. I hope you are surprised as much as I was at how fascinating the history of the West Side is.

Book excerpt: Hot Type reviews the top 150 news stories in the first 150 years (1852-2002) of print journalism in Champaign-Urbana. It's an eye-opening account of a community that not long ago was far different than the university-dominated place it is today. Hot Type reviews sensational courtroom dramas, the stories of fires and other natural disasters, the rapid development of the community in the 1920s, '50s and '60s, its near-lawless attitudes in the 1930s, and some of the great leaders and colorful characters.
