Historic Photos of the Main Line - - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

Historic Photos of the Main Line - - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

The history of the Main Line began in 1832 with the building of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railway, which opened the area to Philadelphia and points west for the movement of people and freight. Along that line would rise the communities of Overbrook, Merion, Narberth, Wynnewood, Ardmore, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Rosemont, Villanova, Radnor, St. Davids, Wayne, Strafford, Devon, Berwyn, Daylesford, and Paoli. The images collected in Historic Photos of the Main Line combine to form a remarkable portrait of this unique array of communities. Included among many other vignettes and numerous subjects are the Devon Horse Show, visits by presidents Taft, Wilson, and Coolidge, the Autocar Company of Ardmore, the 1900 Class of Wynnewood Public School, I. A. Cleaver’s General Store, Villanova University, the General Wayne Inn, Narberth’s oldest house, and of course, the railroads. In stunning black-and-white photography, this handsome book details the historical growth of the Main Line from its early days up to recent times. Spanning two centuries and nearly 200 images, the book follows the growth of this history-rich region, offering a compelling look into the past for any longtime resident of the area and every history buff of the Main Line.

Historic Photos of the Hudson Line - - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

Historic Photos of the Hudson Line - - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

For thousands of years prior to Henry Hudson’s voyage, the Hudson River was a vital commercial and strategic route for the indigenous peoples who settled near its banks. The river’s importance continued for centuries afterward, linking the great trading center of Manhattan with remote places upstate and beyond. In Revolutionary times, the successful struggle for the Hudson was key to American victory over the power of the British military. The Hudson River railroad succeeded earlier modes of transportation in the Hudson Valley—the river sloop, the Albany Post Road, the steamboat, and the Erie Canal. The Hudson Line was both an early product of America’s industrial age and a catalyst for the intense and complex developments of that age. The advent of photography coincided with the inauguration of the Hudson River railroad, and American photographers were on-hand to witness and record the progress of commerce and community in the villages, towns, and cities along the Hudson River Line.

Fugitive City - William P. Wood - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

A one-man crime wave is shaking the peaceful city of Santa Maria, California, and no place is safe.

With a contract on his life from his department’s SWAT team, Medavoy must put everything on the line to pull Trask in—his reputation, his survival, and, unexpectedly, the woman he comes to love.

Shaky Town - Lou Mathews - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2022 TOURNAMENT OF BOOKS “L.A. is where you reside. Shaky Town is where you live.” Welcome to Shaky Town, a place invisible on maps and found only in the secret heart of its citizens. In this masterwork of panoramic style, Lou Mathews—a former mechanic and street racer—weaves together the tragedies and glories of one eastside neighborhood in the 1980s. From a teenage girl caught in the middle of a gang war, to an Irish priest who has lost his faith and hit bottom, the characters in Shaky Town live on a dangerous fault line but remain unshakable in their connections to one another. A luminous achievement of peerless authenticity, Shaky Town captures the grit and gold of working-class Los Angeles and lays down Matthews''s marker as one of the city’s great chroniclers.

Historic Photos of Florida Tourist Attractions - - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

Today, we''re familiar with the major theme parks which charge families hundreds of dollars a day to wait in line for moments of thrills on technologically amazing rides. Florida, however, has been drawing tourists for centuries with simpler attractions which cost much less to view the animals or exhibits, or commune with nature. In Historic Photos of Florida Early Tourist Attractions, Steve Rajtar brings us back to the simpler ways early visitors enjoyed their time in the Sunshine State. Tour the state with photos of the tourist attractions which were here before Walt Disney World, in the days when a row of antique cars sufficed and tourists did not require constant action. See the wax figures which amazed visitors long before the invention of audioanimatronic mannequins. See what curiosities brought in the tourists and their dollars decades before today''s theme parks dominated the billboards and themselves became worldwide vacation destinations.

Hag - Kathleen Kaufman - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

At this, the Cailleach would release a single drop of indigo dye onto the topmost layer. See, she would tell her daughter. See? It bleeds through the topmost path and onto the next.

With pasts half remembered and destinies denied, the daughters of Cailleach are women with uncanny, and often feared, abilities to heal, to see the future and to cause great destruction and pain when threatened.

Historic Photos of Atlanta - - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

Historic Photos of Atlanta - - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

The City in the Forest, Atlanta was a spot found in the wilderness of north Georgia for the end of a railroad line. It was thought few people would stay here, because most would be passing through to somewhere else. Instead, the people remained and the town grew, growing from Terminus to Marthasville to Atlanta. The city was defined by the rail lines, and for that reason, General William T. Sherman came with the Civil War. After he left the city in ruins, Atlanta rebuilt, rising from the ashes, raising a brave and beautiful city. For a century and a half, Atlanta has been the southern city on the move, a town of railroads, business and trade—putting up and pulling down—airplanes and highways, America''s team and international Olympics. Along the way, professional and amateur photographers have documented Atlanta''s rich visual history. This volume, Historic Photos of Atlanta, presents nearly two hundred images of the city''s past, including views of its streets, the people who called it home, and the life, look, and feel of Atlanta.

Historic Photos of Nashville in the 50s, 60s, and 70s - - Bog - Turner Publishing Company - Plusbog.dk

In a nation reinventing itself following victory in World War II, Nashville’s self-portrait blended old with new. New businesses and skyscrapers, a shopping mall, the Interstate system, school integration, and other changes would ultimately bring Nashville into line with the direction of the nation at large, but alongside nationwide trends were treasures unique to the city: Fair Park for thrill-seekers, Sulphur Dell for baseball fans, the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman for music, and the Maxwell House for visitors still arriving through Union Station and now from the air at Berry Field. In this companion volume to Historic Photos of Nashville, Ashley Driggs Haugen leads a tour past many Nashville landmarks from the recent past, reminiscing with Nashvillians who can remember and informing those new to the city who may not. Nearly 200 images reproduced in vivid black-and-white show the Opry at the Ryman, construction of the L&C Tower, 100 Oaks Mall, the Municipal Auditorium, Harveys Department Store downtown, and countless other subjects from yesteryear that remain key to the city’s past and present.
