Early Western Augusta Pioneers
From its establishment in 1745, Augusta County, Virginia served as a haven for Scotch-Irish, German, and, to a lesser extent, English immigrants who failed to find economic opportunity or religious freedom in the colonial settlements along the Middle Atlantic coastline. This little known but important work contains detailed genealogies of the twenty families mentioned in the title of the work, who settled in that region of "old western Augusta" that today encompasses Bath and Highland counties, Virginia. In addition to the family histories, the compiler has provided introductory chapters on the history of German and Scotch-Irish settlement to the region; a table of family members who fought in the Colonial, Revolutionary, and Civil Wars, and a full name index with approximately 10,000 entries.
Tsunamis Affecting Alaska, 1737-1996
This catalog describes all known tsunamis that have affected Alaska in historic times. Alaska has a complex tsunami history due to the varied tectonic regimes, its history of colonization by the Russians and Americans, and its geography of many isolated bays and islands. It is the one area of the U.S. which produces tsunamis capable of causing damage at far removed locations in the Pacific, including those most destructive to Hawaii and the U.S. west coast. Marigrams for Alaskan tsunamis. Tsunami travel time charts for Alaska. Extensive references. Place name index.
Tsunamis
Tsunamis or seismic sea waves are the largest and most powerful waves in the world. These monstrous waves, which can travel back and forth across oceans, reach speeds of 300 to 600 miles per hour. Although tsunamis can go unnoticed in the open sea, their heights can reach 100 to 200 feet in shallow water where they continue to travel inland with tremendous destructive force. Tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes, submarine volcanoes, landslides, or more rarely, by meteorite impacts.
