This little book tells many important tribal stories for today and for future generations. These historic vignettes of the Omaha Nation and its leaders are shared so personally by author Fannie Reed Giffen and her collaborators, Susette and Susan La Flesche. It has been a treasure of mine for 25 years and I hope it becomes one of yours.The re-publication of the original comes on the 125-year anniversary of the 1898 Omaha Trans-Mississippi Exposition and Indian Congress. Its arrival is timely as many of its stories and people are vital to our nation's history. A sculpture of Omaha Chief Big Elk will stand proudly on the banks of the Missouri as the city of Omaha celebrates its namesake this summer! Susette La Flesche Tibbles is known today for her role in the Trial of Ponca Chief Standing Bear. She is recognized as an activist for Indian rights along with her sister Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte, the first Native American Physician. Their stories were not part of my childhood, yet today these amazing women inspire me.The stories of America's first people are essential to an understanding of our country. More and more, books like this are shining a light on people we need to know. I want to thank Zea Books for making this little jewel of American history accessible for more of us to appreciate and enjoy.

Today, German-Americans number 26% of the population of Maryland, thereby making them the largest ethnic group in the state. The foundations of this large German-American population were laid in the colonial times when large numbers of Germans from Pennsylvania migrated to Maryland. Originally published in 1913, Nead's history, The Pennsylvania-German in the Settlement of Maryland, has become a standard text on the history of the Maryland Germans before 1800. Focusing on the role of the Pennsylvania Germans in founding the German element in Maryland, this book demonstrates how inextricably the German heritage of Pennsylvania and Maryland are interrelated. The book is well illustrated with sketches, maps and facsimiles and has chapters devoted to home-making, religion, migration, education and industry. There are also chapters exploring the Maryland German involvement in the French and Indian, and Revolutionary Wars complete with lists of participating soldiers. In addition, Dr. Tolzmann has provided a historical introduction to the work along with bibliographical references for further study and research. An index to subject, full names, and places is provided. From Maryland, Germans would later move further into Virginia, and then onwards into the Ohio Valley. Anyone interested in the history of early German immigration and settlement in Maryland and surrounding states will find this book highly informative.

Lohjan postihistoriaaValittuja paloja Lohjan historiasta, postimerkkiharrastuksesta ja siitä miten posti on kulkenut Lohjan alueella kautta aikojen. Kirjan sisältöä on rikastettu runsaalla kuvituksella keräilijöiden kokoelmista sekä kiehtovilla ja hauskoilla tarinoilla menneisyydestä. Kuvissa aika pysähtyy hienosti Lohjan maisemiin ja vanhoihin kaupunkinäkymiin. Tekstit vievät lukijan mukanaan tarinan sisälle tarkasti, dokumentoivasti ja mielikuvitusta ruokkivaksi. Lukijalle voi myös jäädä kysymyksiä: Kuka oli Betty Hartwall ja mitä hän teki Lohjan Muijalassa vuonna 1878? Miltä olisi tuntunut matkustaa Alku-laivalla Lohjanjärvellä 1800-luvun lopulla tai hypätä Suomen ensimmäisen sähköjunan kyytiin 1910-luvulla Lohjan asemalta Lohjan kirkonkylään tai Lohjanjärven rantaan saakka?

The Georgia 8th Infantry Battalion was organized with six companies during the early spring of 1862 at Savannah, Georgia. Some of the men were from Adairsville and Thornburgh, and Gordon County. They were on duty at Savannah and the Georgia coast, until May 1863, when they were sent as a part of Gist's brigade, from South Carolina, to the reinforcement of General Joseph Johnston at Jackson, Mississippi. They were in battle at Jackson in May and July and participated in the march to the Big Black River, via Yazoo City, for the relief of Vicksburg.After the evacuation of Jackson, they were transferred to the army of Tennessee in time to take part in the battle of Chickamauga. Adjutant Gray participated in the two days conflict and in the siege of Chattanooga and the battle of Missionary Ridge, the Atlanta campaign, including the battles of Rocky Face, Resaca, New Hope Church, Kennesaw Mountain, Peachtree Creek, Atlanta (July 22nd), Jonesboro, and the winter campaign in Tennessee, made memorable by the terrible experiences of the army at Franklin and Nashville and on the retreat.The 8th Georgia Battalion contained 232 men and 183 arms in December, 1863, and was included in the surrender in North Carolina on April 26, 1865.

Ich möchte gestehen, ich bin verliebt in diese schöne Stadt, welcher man einst wegen ihrer vielen Kirchen, Klöster und Türme, den Namen >nordisches Rom< verliehen hat. Noch heute verzaubert Goslar seine Einwohner und Touristen gleichermaßen, nicht nur weil dieses hübsche Kleinod auf eine lange, eindrucksvolle Geschichte verweisen kann und damit zum Weltkulturerbe gehört.Hier waren Könige und Kaiser zuhause und hier fühlten sich, glaubt man den Sagen und Märchen, sogar unzählige Andersweltwesen wohl: allen voran der Bergmönch im Rammelsberg, die Zwerge und Elfen, der wundersame weiße Hirsch, aber eben auch dunkle Gestalten, wie der Höllenfürst. Es ist doch immer so, dass dort, wo Schönheit und Reichtum entsteht, stets auch der Schatten wächst. Wo Bildung und Kultur erblühen, ist eben auch der Teufel nicht weit, zu verblenden und zu verführen.Dieses Büchlein erzählt also aus alten, fast vergessene Tagen, von Verführern und Verführten, von bekannten Dichterfürsten die Goslar besuchten und von einfachen Menschen, von Klugen und Törichten, von der Butterhanne und vom Dukatenmännchen. Lass dich verzaubern von den weit über 100 Geschichten von Goslar selbst, all seiner Ortsteile und den mystischen Bergen und Tälern drumherum - eine unvergessliche Reise!

Silver City, part of the Comstock Lode, was replete with innovative ideas which were put into action and practice in this new mining community.The Comstock Lode made a worldwide impact in the mid 1800's. The mines produced thousands of tons of ore each day keeping over 263 mills quite busy with the process of milling and crushing the ore, recovering gold and silver. Known as the richest place on earth, the Comstock produced over $700,000,000.000, which would be valued at over $19 billion in today's market.Functioning from 1860 to 1959, the Donovan Mill in Silver City, is the longest operating plant on the Comstock, is only one of four mills remaining today, and is the largest historic stamp mill in the nation.

The red earthenware industry in North Yarmouth, Maine was established in the 1790s, and for the next century, it flourished through a group of multigenerational family potteries. Many were located at Yarmouth Corner, which included production from at least five family businesses: Brooks, Cleaves, Corliss, Foster and Thomas.Much of this history had been forgotten due to 20th century development and a lack of published documentation. But thanks to historic preservation, archaeologists, museums and family records, the history of this industry has been reidentified. The industry in North Yarmouth was likely the largest red earthenware manufacturing center in the state, and connected to many well-known potters and red earthenwareindustries located elsewhere in New England. This book is the first of its kind to take an in-depth look at the various types of wares manufactured in North Yarmouth.

1924 wurde die Zürcher Freilager AG gegründet, um in Zürich-Albisrieden ein Zollfreilager zu bauen und zu betreiben. Während vieler Jahrzehnte war das Zürcher Freilager eines der grössten Zentren für Warenlagerung und Transithandel in der Schweiz und entwickelte sich mit den sich wandelnden Bedürfnissen seiner Kunden weiter. Vor 50 Jahren entstand der Embraport in Embrach, ein Güterverkehrszentrum, das nahe am Flughafen Zürich und an der Grenze zu Deutschland liegt und direkt an das Schienen- und Strassennetz angeschlossen ist. Während am Zürcher Standort zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts auf Wohnimmobilien gesetzt wurde und seit 2016 das neue, nach strengen Nachhaltigkeitskriterien gebaute und betriebene Stadtquartier Freilager Zürich steht, wird der Embraport heute zu einem der modernsten und nachhaltigsten Logistik-Hubs der Schweiz umgebaut und entwickelt vielfältige visionäre Dienstleistungen. Dieses Buch geht der bewegten Geschichte der Zürcher Freilager AG nach und skizziert die zukunftsgerichteten Modelle, an denen sich die Firma an beiden Standorten orientiert. Dies mit vielen atmosphärischen Fotos, verschiedenen Interviews und umfassenden Texten zur Firmengeschichte und zu den Herausforderungen der Zukunft.

Did you know that the founder of New Carlisle is credited with introducing ice cream to Japan? Or that a famous slave trial in South Bend would reverberate through the country and lead to the start of the Civil War? Did you know that Mishawaka was once the Peppermint Capital of the World? Did you know that Indiana and Michigan almost went to war over the narrow strip of land that contains most of St. Joseph County? AN INCOMPLETE HISTORY OF ST. JOSEPH COUNTY tells these stories and more. Throughout the tales of twelve epic bike rides spanning more than 500 miles, you'll discover the history of the towns, cities, rivers, industries, and commerce that have made St. Joseph County what it is today. If you've ever wondered what an episode of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown would look like if it was instead a book about the history of the place called St. Joseph County, wonder no more.

They never told us we lived in the most fascinating place in all of the Midwest...I grew up here. Lived my whole life here. I've ridden my bike to every corner of this place. Shoot, I even wrote a book about it. And there were still so many fascinating things that I didn't know. So I wrote another book. In Ride the Jack Rabbit, you're going to come with me to explore more of the people, places, and events that have made my hometown just about the most interesting place I've ever discovered. You're coming on an adventure with me through:* The spectacular history of Playland Park, the South Bend amusement park that featured a roller coaster, dance hall, baseball stadium, racetrack, and music pavilion.* The life of Edward Bonney, founder of Bonneyville, Indiana turned notorious counterfeiter, turned personal bodyguard to Joseph Smith, turned bounty hunter, turned true crime biographer.* The early-morning bombings in downtown South Bend in 1935 that set off a soap opera of media speculation, secretive investigations, and court room drama.* The life and times of Alexander Arch, the South Bend man who became a national hero when he fired the first American shot of World War I.* The Underground Railroad of Cass County, where escaped slaves found unprecedented freedom, equality, opportunity, and prosperity.* Much, much more.¿Written with a unique blend of information, adventure, and humor; and with more than 70 historic photographs and reproductions, Ride the Jack Rabbit brings the stories and histories of Michiana to life in a whole new way. After spending hundreds of hours in the microfilm room, and just as many with a glass of bourbon at my typewriter, I'm excited to bring these adventures to you.

Wading In: Desegregation on the Mississippi Gulf Coast frames the fight for beach and school desegregation within the history of Black life in Biloxi, beginning with the arrival of slave ships on the Gulf Coast islands in 1721. Detailing the buildup of Back-of-Town businesses, lynchings in the early 1900s, and national and state legislation repressing Black progress, author Amy Lemco contextualizes the regional atmosphere Dr. Gilbert Mason--a resilient civic leader, humanitarian, and lover of the water--and his family encountered in 1955. Using extensive archival records and interviews with survivors, the book chronicles how Dr. Mason inspired and helped organize local Black activists to peacefully protest the apartheid of Biloxi's beaches. Dr. Mason operated under the surveillance of the State Sovereignty Commission, assaults by private citizens, and the terrors of a decade riddled with the assassinations of civil rights workers. Grassroots efforts he led and inspired in Biloxi joined with the national movement to weaken the hold of white supremacy in the state. With unwavering perseverance and bravery, Dr. Mason and fellow activists achieved the desegregation of Mississippi's beaches and made Harrison County schools the first primary school district in the state to integrate. Wading In firmly establishes Dr. Mason as a national civil rights role model and presents the story of Mississippi's struggle to a new generation of readers.

Las Vegas, New Mexico has been characterized as "e;two towns, one place,"e; "e;The Town that wouldn't gamble,"e; and "e;The Wildest of the Wild West."e; The descriptions are at least partially accurate, but they fail to capture the essence of this small city. Much has been written about the history of Las Vegas and narratives continue to appear in popular, scholarly and promotional articles and essays. In some cases, Las Vegas' history is presented as a back-drop to the telling of a story about a particular person, era, theme, event, or some other aspect of its story. This book addresses issues in the development of Las Vegas and the American Southwest that remain quite relevant in the 2lst Century. Among these are an increased socio-cultural diversity that impacts the hegemony of this population and its effects on inter-cultural relations; Spanish/Mexican sovereignty versus American expansionism; conflicting conceptions of land and water rights; and resolving local community problems and public policymaking in the wake of divergent political cultures. The book remains an important treatise since it is a well researched biography of an important and vital town that figured prominently in the growth, evolution and development of New Mexico and the American Southwest.
