A Wheelbarrow and a Shovel documents the rags-to-riches success story of John Boll who built a real estate empire by developing manufactured home communities around the world then selling his company to the State of Washington Pension Fund for $2.3 billion. A Wheelbarrow and a Shovel documents the truly remarkable story of one of America’s most unlikely business success stories. Starting with only a wheelbarrow and a shovel, as well as the same American dream that led his parents to leave their native Holland for the United States, John Boll built a real estate empire in the most unlikely of ways—by developing and improving manufactured home communities around the country. It’s a rags-to-riches tale that could only happen in America—and only with the hand of God leading the way. Before Boll sold his company to the State of Washington Pension Fund for $2.3 billion, he was the first person to take a collection of mobile home communities to Wall Street.
Churchwardens' accounts for the period of the English Reformation provide some of the clearest views of the impact of that most fundamental movement on individual parishes. This edition presents the first thirty years or so of the surviving accounts for Boxford, beginning mid-way through Henry VIII's reign and ending when Elizabeth was settled on the throne. The accounts show the pattern of income and expenditure before the Reformation, then the disruptions of Reformation and Counter-Reformation, and finally the settling down as a Protestant church. Equipped with a comprehensive glossary and extensive notes on the personal names occurring in the text, this volume makes a rare and valuable contribution to the study of the Reformation in England.
