Book Description
The book is sort of a biography about a famous character through the eyes of my grandfather Peter Podesta. My grandfather was one of the last living stage coach drivers for Wells Fargo Co. The book started out to be a book about the Po8 and ended up being the book about the lives of three men. The book tells the story, according to Peter Podesta, and other sources that has never been put to print to this date. There are many attempts to define and determine what happened to the Po8, however, the best kept secret in the West was discovered, but covered up time after time. No one has ever mentioned my grandfather except about his stage being robbed outside of Jackson, California. Little known to friends and family was the relationship he had with the Po8. This book will bring to light Peters telling of this extraordinary story about the real old west and a mystery that has been long in the minds of authors and historians alike.

Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
" From the wealth of place names in Kentucky, Rennick has selected those of some 2,000 communities and post offices. These places are usually the largest, the best known, or the most important as well as those with unusual or inherently interesting names. Including perhaps one-fourth of all such places known in the state, the names were chosen as a representative sample among Kentucky's counties and sections. Kentucky Place Names offers a fascinating mosaic of information on families, events, politics, and local lore in the state.

Texas Place Names
Author: Edward Callary
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 1477320660
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
“[A] linguist . . . takes readers on a tour across the state, using names and language to tell its history.” ―Alcalde Was Gasoline, Texas, named in honor of a gas station? Nope, but the name does honor the town’s original claim to fame: a gasoline-powered cotton gin. Is Paris, Texas, a reference to Paris, France? Yes: Thomas Poteet, who donated land for the town site, thought it would be an improvement over “Pin Hook,” the original name of the Lamar County seat. Ding Dong’s story has a nice ring to it; the name was derived from two store owners named Bell, who lived in Bell County, of course. Tracing the turning points, fascinating characters, and cultural crossroads that shaped Texas history, Texas Place Names provides the colorful stories behind these and more than three thousand other county, city, and community names. Drawing on in-depth research to present the facts behind the folklore, linguist Edward Callary also clarifies pronunciations (it’s NAY-chis for Neches, referring to a Caddoan people whose name was attached to the Neches River during a Spanish expedition). A great resource for road trippers and historians alike, Texas Place Names alphabetically charts centuries of humanity through the enduring words (and, occasionally, the fateful spelling gaffes) left behind by men and women from all walks of life. “[A] quite useful book.” ―Austin American-Statesman

Fuselage-drag Tests in the Variable-density Wind Tunnel
Author: Ira H. A. Abbott
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Aeronautics
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
Results are presented on drag tests of six bodies of revolution with systematically varying shapes and with a fineness ratio of 5. The formes were derived from source-sink distributions, and formulas are presented for the calculation of the pressure distributions of the forms. The tests were made in the N.A.C.A. variable-density tunnel over a range of values of Reynolds number from about 1,500,000 to 25,000,000. The results show that the bodies with the sharper noses and tails have the lowest drag coefficients are based on the two-thirds power of the volume. The data show the most important single characteristic of the body form to be the tail angle, which must be fine to obtain low drag.
