by George 1806-1876 Moore
Lost Washington, D.C. looks at the cherished places in the city that time, progress and fashion have swept aside. The Lost series from Pavilion Books looks back in loving detail at many of the things that have helped create a city’s unique identity that have since disappeared; the streetcars, the shops, the parks, the churches, the amusement parks, the communities, even the annual parades. It looks at the landmark buildings that failed to be preserved, the hotels that could not be adapted and fe...

Villains and Vigilantes; the Story of James King, of William, and Pioneer Justice in California
by Stanton Arthur 1896-1982 Coblentz
In this provocative analysis of the New England town before the Revolution, and of its enduring impact on the American character, Michael Zuckerman makes a major contribution toward a reinterpretation of the nature of American society and the origins of the non-liberal tradition in America. Arguing that the true concern of these towns was not the individual rights or liberties of the citizen, but rather the homogeneity and tranquility of the community, Mr. Zuckerman opens a new perspective on th...

Michigan's Early Military Forces (Great Lakes Books)
Michigan has long been proud of its military service, but many of its early accomplishments are unknown to most of the state's residents. This book fills the void in our knowledge by bringing together an impressive array of information on Michigan's armed forces from 1775 to 1860. Here we find the name rank, unit, and dates of service for all known Michigan men who served in the Revolutionary War, Indian Wars, War of 1812, Black Hawk War, Toledo War, Patriot War, and the Mexican-American War.

The Erie Canal was dying. Adirondack sawmills were falling silent. And in the final years of the nineteenth century, the upstate New York town of Forestport was struggling just to survive. Then the canal levees started breaking, and the boom times returned. The Forestport saloons flourished, the town's gamblers rollicked, and the politically connected canal contractors were flush once more. It was all very convenient until Governor Theodore Roosevelt's administration grew suspicious and the Pink...
The Cradle of Secession's illustrious Civil War experience.
This book is a valuable addition to the literature on Ohio and the Civil War. Eminent Cleveland historian David Van Tassel had undertaken the challenge of writing an illustrated history of the Cleveland home-front during the Civil War. Unfortunately, he died in 2000 before completing his manuscript. Historian John Vacha completed the final chapters using notes, lists, and ideas that Van Tassel had written, and their efforts are presented in ""Behind Bayonets"". ""Behind Bayonets"" focuses on Ohi...
In the vast expanse of territorial New Mexico, railroads had a striking impact. Many cities, among them Carlsbad, Raton, Clovis, and Gallup, were founded as railroad stops. Architect Marci Riskin explores the history of railroad depots and other structures--everything but the trains themselves--that make up New Mexico's railway legacy. To begin the examination, Riskin includes a brief history of railroad development in New Mexico, a description of the architectural features of the state's rail...
