Bullets, Booze, Bootleggers, and Beer
Here for the first time is a complete look at Prohibition in northern New York: the shootings, killings, wild pursuits, gunplay at levels never seen before or since, corrupt lawmen, scofflaws, stills, Bootleg Kings, border runners, humorous incidents, ingenious smuggling techniques, hundreds of speakeasies, thousands of arrest stories, and more. Volume 1 covers the first half of Prohibition.Also revealed is northern New York's critical role in the repeal of Prohibition nationally. Two main sources that neither state nor federal enforcement organizations could plug were the offshore ships known as Rum Row (near New York City), and bootleggers crossing the state's border with Canada, especially the 63-mile land border with Quebec. Together they slaked the thirst of millions of New Yorkers, including those in the Big Apple.As the most populous and liberal state, New York led the resistance to Prohibition. It was often said that, "As New York goes, so goes the nation." And so it was. New York went against Prohibition, and after 14 tumultuous, violent, incredible years, the nation repealed a constitutional amendment-the only time that has ever happened in US history.
The Gondola Philadelphia and the Battle of Lake Champlain
"In this work, archaeologist John Bratten details the gunboat's history, construction, armament, tools, utensils, personal items, and rigging elements. He takes advantage of contemporary records to describe the Philadelphia's artifacts and presents for the first time an analysis of photographs taken during the 1935 recovery of the boat. Finally, he assesses the replica Philadelphia II, built at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum during 1989-91 in order to provide an opportunity to evaluate how the gondola was constructed, manned, sailed, and propelled by sweeps."--Jacket.
Little Champy Goes to School
Little Champy Goes to School is two things: a wonderful story about the family of famous Lake Champlain "monsters," and a lasting memento to the bridges that have spanned the lake at Crown Point. Illustrations of both bridges appear in color on the covers and in black-and-white within the book's pages.The story is about Little Champy going to school to learn how to undulate, which is so important for any kind of sea serpent or lake monster. Supported by his mother, Mama Champy; his father, Big Champy; and his grandfather, Old Champy, he attends school far beneath the Lake Champlain Bridge in preparation for the big test of the surface swim.The teacher is Aunt Champanella, who works hard to teach her students what they'll need to know, especially about undulating.Author Gordie Little has created a wonderful story, supported by the beautiful artwork of Les Bradford. The result is a book for all children to enjoy, a keepsake in honor of the lost bridge, and an excellent addition to the family library of every North Country family.
