The story of North Yarmouth is captured in its motto the Town Where Others Began. Established as a large plantation in 1680, five towns grew and separated from the original settlement over the next 170 years, leaving behind a small rural community with two distinct villages. Farming and lumber-related industries dominated the life of residents until World War II. Church, school, and numerous social groups were the sources of entertainment when daily chores were done.

Established as a large plantation in 1680, five towns grew and separated from the original settlement over the next 170 years, leaving behind a small rural community with two distinct villages. Farming and lumber-related industries dominated the life of residents until World War II. Church, school, and numerous social groups were the sources of entertainment when daily chores were done. North Yarmouth once boasted a hotel, a creamery, a library, a chinchilla ranch, and carriage makers. The town has grown and thrived over the last few decades, but still carefully preserves its important heritage. Around North Yarmouth illustrates the vibrant interwoven history of this town and the surrounding communities. Longtime residents with roots spanning many generations helped create this volume by sharing their cherished historic photographs and fascinating oral histories.Soort: Met illustraties;Taal: Engels;Oorspronkelijke titel: Around North Yarmouth;Afmetingen: 9x234x167 mm;Gewicht: 327,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: augustus 2006;Druk: 1;ISBN10: 0738545945;ISBN13: 9780738545943; Engelstalig | Paperback | 2006.

Staten Island, one of the five boroughs of New York City, is still remembered fondly for the 5" Staten Island Ferry ride to Manhattan. The rolling hills of Staten Island greet ships as they enter the Narrows of New York Harbor and sail beneath the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. The island's ever-evolving history dates back to days as a hunting ground of the Lenape Indian tribe. Today, it is a thriving suburban community. In this volume, the reader will explore the roots of this historic island, tour its streets, and meet some memorable Staten Islanders -- Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, founder of one of the largest fortunes in America; Governor Daniel Tompkins, who served as vice president of the United States under President Monroe; and Alice Austen, one of the pre-eminent women photographers of the nineteenth century. Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi and inventor Antonio Meucci created a legacy on the island, as did the oystermen from Snow Hill, Maryland, who founded Sandy Ground. The reader also glimpses historic charitable organizations such as Sailors' Snug Harbor and Mount Loretto and visits the living village known as Historic Richmondtown.Soort: Met illustraties;Taal: Engels;Afmetingen: 9x233x167 mm;Gewicht: 322,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: januari 1997;Druk: 1;ISBN10: 0738545457;ISBN13: 9780738545455; Engelstalig | Paperback | 1997.

In 1951, Levittown was created in Bucks County outside of Philadelphia by builder pioneers Levitt and Sons. Dubbed the largest and "most perfectly planned" community in America, it featured single-family homes, schools, churches, shopping centers, and swimming pools.

In 1951, Levittown was created in Bucks County outside of Philadelphia by builder pioneers Levitt and Sons. Dubbed the largest and "most perfectly planned" community in America, it featured single-family homes, schools, churches, shopping centers, and swimming pools. A symbol of the "American Dream," Levittown defined the phenomenon of post-World War II suburban developments, which for the first time gave working- and middle-class families the option of affordable, detached houses outside congested urban neighborhoods. Levittown was a melting pot, attracting people from cities, rural areas, and all walks of life, including many World War II veterans with young families. Houses came fully equipped with appliances and landscaping and started at $9,000. Levittown's superb collection of history and photographs illustrates the birth and growth of this unique area, explores the community that resulted, and features residents' personal memories of the golden years.Soort: Met illustraties;Taal: Engels;Afmetingen: 13x231x163 mm;Gewicht: 318,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: november 2010;Druk: 1;ISBN10: 0738572764;ISBN13: 9780738572765; Engelstalig | Paperback | 2010.
