Book Description
"The Bay City, Michigan, YWCA camp began as a small gathering of 65 women during the summer of 1916 at a rental cottage in Killarney. The second site, selected two years later, was on Aplin Beach near Saginaw Bay. In 1924, the YWCA purchased the Camp Maqua property in Hale, on the shores of Loon Lake, with a solitary farmhouse, and numerous cabins were then completed. After the YWCA sold the property to a private owner in 1979, it was subdivided into 10 parcels. In 1987, the Baker/Starks families purchased the lodge and 14 acres. Ten families continue to keep the spirit of Maqua alive through an association dedicated to retaining the historical integrity of the land and remaining buildings."-- Page [4] of cover.

Camp Bowie Boulevard
Author: Juliet George
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1467130494
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
In the early 1890s, Humphrey Barker Chamberlin installed a lifeline to his namesake suburb west of the city. A trolley connected to Arlington Heights Boulevard at the Trinity River's Clear Fork and chugged across prairie land to reach Chamberlin Arlington Heights. Camp Bowie, a soldiers' city, sprawled over both sides of the road from 1917 until 1919. At the Great War's end, the stretch west of present-day University Drive became the commemorative Camp Bowie Boulevard. The 1920s brought twin ribbons of cordovan-colored brick pavement, the prestige of inclusion in the Bankhead Highway network, and westering developers of another elite village: Ridglea. Midway through the Great Depression, the Will Rogers complex arose on a farm tract, visible from the thoroughfare, to host Texas Centennial celebrations and a special livestock exposition. Museums began claiming adjacent space in the 1950s. By the second decade of the 21st century, Camp Bowie Boulevard bisected a built environment both modern and historic.

Camp David Accords
Author: Clete A. Hinton
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780788425158
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
This book opens with a description of the history of the Jewish state and then documents the steps taken toward peace between Israel and Egypt. These steps resulted in a historic peace treaty being signed between the two countries on March 26, 1979 in Washington D.C. At that time and place, Anwar El Sadat (President of Egypt) and Menachem Begin (Prime Minister of Israel) ended thirty years of intermittent war and uneasy truces between their two countries. Many months of persistent and skillful negotiations were required. Without the constant, unswerving encouragement and guidance of President Carter, the peace treaty might never have been signed. In a concise and fascinating way, Mr. Hinton has brought together the highlights of this far-reaching world event and described how it occurred as well as the obstacles that had to be overcome.
