Wicked Carlisle
Author: Joseph David CressPublisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1614235813
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
With Wicked Carlisle, author Joe Cress revisits the criminal history of Cumberland County. Taking a more focused and less bloody approach, Cress will largely bring new stories of mischief to the table, though he will revisit the lighter side of two or three crimes from Murder and Mayhem in Cumberland County. From stories of college pranks gone wrong, Carlisle's own Robin Hood and the robbing and subsequent torching of a beloved local theater (the Strand where the local HS now sits ) to abuses at the Carlisle Indian School and the town's connection to the raid on Harper's Ferry, Cress scours the underbelly of the borough for mischief and misdeeds.

Book Description
To grasp the significance of Chronicles for our times, we must first understand its original meaning. Many find its complex history unfamiliar and assume that it is irrelevant for contemporary life. It was written to encourage the Jews to be faithful to God on their return from Babylon and not focus on material prosperity.
Flowering of the Cumberland
Author: Harriette Simpson ArnowPublisher: MSU Press
ISBN: 1609173716
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 806
Book Description
Harriette Arnow’s search for truth as early American settlers knew it began as a child—the old songs, handed-down stories, and proverbs that colored her world compelled her on a journey that informs her depiction of the Cumberland River Valley in Kentucky and Tennessee. Arnow drew from court records, wills, inventories, early newspapers, and unpublished manuscripts to write Seedtime on the Cumberland, which chronicles the movement of settlers away from the coast, as well as their continual refinement of the “art of pioneering.” A companion piece, this evocative history covers the same era, 1780–1803, from the first settlement in what was known as “Middle Tennessee” to the Louisiana Purchase. When Middle Tennessee was the American frontier, the men and women who settled there struggled for survival, land, and human dignity. The society they built in their new home reflected these accomplishments, vulnerabilities, and ambitions, at a time when America was experiencing great political, industrial, and social upheaval.
