Milton
With Milton, the first pictorial history of the town ever published, local historians Paul Buchanan and Anthony Sammarco present a nostalgic look at the development and growth of this well-built and affluent suburb from 1860 to 1940. Over two hundred and fifty vintage photographs have been carefully selected from the vast collection of the Milton Historical Society to create a dazzling portrait of the town in its heyday. Milton, once home to the Neponset Indians, became a small farming community with the arrival of European settlers. Over time, the town blossomed into an important industrial and cultural resource for Boston and all of the South Shore. The vibrant settlement, which used water power to create the country's first grist mill in 1634, later became home to the first pianoforte and bass viol manufacturers in the United States. Through the years, pleasure-seekers from near and far became attracted to Milton as well, building summer estates and fond memories in the Milton Hill, Canton Avenue, and Brush Hill Road areas. Walking tours of the town even today attract and delight both residents of milton and visitors from out of town.
The American Discovery of Europe
The American Discovery of Europe investigates the voyages of America's Native peoples to the European continent before Columbus's 1492 arrival in the "New World." The product of over twenty years of exhaustive research in libraries throughout Europe and the United States, the book paints a clear picture of the diverse and complex societies that constituted the Americas before 1492 and reveals the surprising Native American involvements in maritime trade and exploration. Starting with an encounter by Columbus himself with mysterious people who had apparently been carried across the Atlantic on favorable currents, Jack D. Forbes proceeds to explore the seagoing expertise of early Americans, theories of ancient migrations, the evidence for human origins in the Americas, and other early visitors coming from Europe to America, including the Norse. The provocative, extensively documented, and heartfelt conclusions of The American Discovery of Europe present an open challenge to received historical wisdom.
Betrayal
Herbert Schulz gives us an insiders account of the hardscrabble and often heartless prairie farm politics of the 1950s. The son of a CCF member, Schulz was an early organizer for the Manitoba Federation of Agriculture and later an executive in the Grandview Pool Elevator Association. Speaking from his intimate, and frequently controversial, involvement in farm politics during a critical decade for prairie agriculture, Schulz argues that the demise of the family farm has not been merely an inevitable side-effect of technology.
Annual Report of the Commissioner of Patents
Prior to 1862, when the Department of Agriculture was established, the report on agriculture was prepared and published by the Commissioner of Patents, and forms volume or part of volume, of his annual reports, the first being that of 1840. Cf. Checklist of public documents ... Washington, 1895, p. 148.
