Publisher: —
Description: A classic humorous tale as told from the point of view of horse in the wild west. `I am Buffalo Bill`s horse. I have spent my life under his saddle-with him in it, too, and he is good for two hundred pounds, without his clothes, and there is no telling how much he does weigh when he is out on the war-path and has his batteries belted on. I am his favorite horse, out of dozens. Big as he is, I have carried him eighty-one miles between nightfall and sunrise on the scout, and I am good for fifty, day in and day out, and all the time. I am not large, but I am built on a business basis. I have carried him thousands and thousands of miles on scout duty for the army, and there`s not a gorge, nor a pass, nor a valley, nor a fort, nor a trading post, nor a buffalo-range in the whole sweep of the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains that we don`t know as well as we know the bugle-calls.` [detailed...]

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Professor Majewski compares Virginia and Pennsylvania to explain how slavery undermined the development of the southern economy. In the beginning of the nineteenth century, residents in each state financed transportation improvements to raise land valuesand spur commercial growth. However, by the 1830s, Philadelphia capitalists began financing Pennsylvania`s railroad network, building integrated systems that reached the Midwest. Virginia`s railroads remained a collection of lines without western connections. The lack of a major city that could provide capital and traffic for large-scale railroads was the weakness of Virginia`s slave economy. [detailed...]

The author underscores the endemic racism of the music business at that time, revealing how the three men were blocked from the major record companies and outlets in Philadelphia because they were black, forcing them to create their… [detailed...]

A House for Life: Bringing the Spirit of Frank Lloyd Wright into Your Home

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Frank Lloyd Wright was arguably the greatest American architect of the 20th century. Many admire his memorable designs, such as the Guggenheim Museum in New York, but assume it would be far too costly to apply his ideas to their own homes. Yet it was one of Wright`s central beliefs that modern homes could be both well-designed and affordable. This book shows how Wright`s philosophy touched all aspects of day-to-day life, thus influencing his ideas for residential design. Numerous examples of homes designed by Wright and Taliesin Architects (the firm founded by Wright`s students after his death) are presented in stunning photographs to inspire readers who wish to create their own unique home following Wright`s `organic` concepts.
