Book Description
Peabody was settled in 1626 as Brooksby Village and was originally a part of the town of Salem. In 1752, citizens joined in the area of town known as Salem Village to form the town of Danvers. The separation of the two towns into Danvers and South Danvers took place in 1855.

The history of Wheeling and Ohio County is both eclectic and engaging.

The Wheeling Suspension Bridge, the Old National Road, and the B&O Railroad all passed through the bustling Ohio County. Over the years, Wheeling has been labeled everything from "Victorian Wheeling" to "Sintown USA," and these monikers represent the diverse qualities of a town molded and shaped by the steel, coal, tobacco, and transportation industries.

The incomparable collection showcased in this book spans five decades and was begun and continued by the Carney family.

Pages : 132
Book Description
Located in the Lehigh Valley along the Lehigh River, Bethlehem was founded by Moravian settlers in 1741. In 1845, the traffic on the Lehigh Canal convinced the Moravians to open the town to outsiders who could purchase their land and buildings. The former Moravian farmlands south of the river were soon developed into railroad lines, industrial mills, homes, and Lehigh University. One of the mills evolved into Bethlehem Steel, once the second-largest steelmaker in the United States.

Send Me a Postcard
Author: William Main
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781877333729
Category : New Zealand
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
The first New Zealand picture postcards were published in 1897, and quickly established themselves as an enduring and popular part of our visual culture. In the early part of the 20th century sending postcards snowballed into a craze which had few precedents (it is estimated that 7.5 million postcards were sent through the mail in 1909) but then settled down after the First World War to a level of popularity that has been sustained to this day. Consequently the postcards that were published throughout the last century offer a fascinating insight into everyday New Zealand life. This is the inspiration behind Send me a postcard, written by William Main, one of New Zealand's pre-eminent photographic historians, who has assembled a collection of cards that graphically and eloquently illustrate much about New Zealand's social history through the last century.In the book he arranges postcards in themes, ranging from the beautiful cards published for the early tourist industry in New Zealand, to postcards that document important events and occasions, and the huge variety of pictorial cards that so strikingly contrast the enormous changes in our towns and cities that occurred during the 20th century. This charming and nostalgic collection of postcards is popular history at its best, and will have wide appeal. The cards are graphically fascinating, while the story they tell provides an intriguing view of life in New Zealand in the last century.
