North Country
Author: Howard Frank Mosher
Publisher: HMH
ISBN: 0544391241
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
“A richly observant memoir of a coast-to-coast journey along the US-Canada border . . . An armchair traveler’s delight” (Kirkus Reviews). “Part travelogue, part memoir, part meditation, part exploration,” North Country is an account of a trip along the northern border of the United States in search of the country’s last unspoiled frontiers (The Boston Sunday Globe). In this vast, sparsely settled territory, Howard Frank Mosher found both a harsh and beautiful landscape and some of the continent’s most independent men and women. Here, he brings this remote area to vivid life in a book “bright with anecdote and history and lore and most importantly with affection for his human subjects” (Richard Ford, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Independence Day). “A classic road book. You could, with confidence, place this book on the shelf next to such American classics as John Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley and Jonathan Raban’s Old Glory.” —Detroit Free Press “What Mosher’s northern journey is really about is our society’s loss of Eden, the garden we were promised when we came here. The garden we’ve turned into pulp fiction and rocket ranges. The very fact that this brave book can stir up so many thoughts about the predicaments of civilization is surely an indication that it is well worth reading.” —Ottawa Citizen

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 95
Book Description
If you are looking for sophisticated prose or poetry, poetry that you must ponder for days to find the meaning, this book is not for you. This book is simply the honest thoughts and feelings of a very ordinary woman. I hope the one reading this can say, Oh, Ive felt that way! Perhaps take comfort is some words and feel nostalgia at others. This book talks about country life, love, loss, and a look back on what used to be. A friend once told me I write poetry for those who dont like poetry. I take this as a great compliment. I would hope this book finds a secret spot in your heart where you can sit back and reflect.

Historic North Country Disasters
Author: Cheri L. Farnsworth
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1467145009
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
There is a tragic history in New York's North Country of human folly, natural disasters, deadly explosions, terrible train wrecks and other calamities. The famous Barnum & Bailey Circus suffered deeply after its train crashed between Norwood and Potsdam in 1889 and many animals died. Beloved Thousand Island Park was almost entirely destroyed by a devastating fire in 1912, leveling hotels and businesses, and the once-thriving park never fully recovered. The great Massena earthquake measured 5.9 on the Richter scale in 1944 and caused tremendous structural damage, including destroying nearly all chimneys in the area. Author Cheri L. Farnsworth compiles both the man-made and natural disasters that shocked the North Country in the hundred years between 1850 and 1950.
