Book Description
The American Fork and Hoe Company and True Temper Corporation have roots that extend back to Vermont in the early 1800s. Early roots trace the company to the Old Stone Shop in Wallingford, Vermont. This shop thrived as one of the earliest agricultural tool forging shops in America. By the late 1800s, the agricultural industry was in full-swing and was influenced by the Industrial Revolution which transformed business and culture. The original firm went onto produce agricultural tools until in 1902, when it was absorbed into a consolidation of over a dozen independent agricultural tool makers to form the American Fork and Hoe Company. The American Fork and Hoe Company continued operating in those original facilities across the Midwestern and Eastern half of the United States in the early 1900s-1930s, until in 1949 it became known as the True Temper Corporation. During that time the American Fork and Hoe became a preeminent leader in development of agricultural implements and broke into the sporting goods industry by selling fishing rods in 1922. It went onto purchase the Al Foss Pork Rind Minnow of Cleveland, Ohio in 1929 and took over that product line. Al Foss products became produced in Geneva, Ohio which became the home to their Sporting Goods Division. The Sporting Goods Division manufactured and sold many things including golf clubs, fishing rods, lures, and additional tackle items including pork rind. The company revolutionized the golfing industry with its tapered steel shaft golf clubs. Sporting goods were manufactured in Geneva, Ohio until production was moved to Anderson, South Carolina by the True Temper Corporation in 1955. This book traces that history, development and production of products, surveys Al Foss history, covers fishing tackle and casting club connections, and discusses patents throughout. It also includes a large collector's materials chapter on Al Foss, American Fork and Hoe, and True Temper fishing lures and boxes. It uncovers why this company was truly and industrial leader over multiple fronts. I sincerely hope you enjoy the History of the American Fork and Hoe Company / True Temper Corp. 1835-1967.

A History of the American People
Author: Paul Johnson
Publisher: Harper
ISBN: 9780060168360
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1104
Book Description
"The creation of the United States of America is the greatest of all human adventures," begins Paul Johnson's remarkable new American history. "No other national story holds such tremendous lessons, for the American people themselves and for the rest of mankind." Johnson's history is a reinterpretation of American history from the first settlements to the Clinton administration. It covers every aspect of U.S. history--politics; business and economics; art, literature and science; society and customs; complex traditions and religious beliefs. The story is told in terms of the men and women who shaped and led the nation and the ordinary people who collectively created its unique character. Wherever possible, letters, diaries, and recorded conversations are used to ensure a sense of actuality. "The book has new and often trenchant things to say about every aspect and period of America's past," says Johnson, "and I do not seek, as some historians do, to conceal my opinions." Johnson's history presents John Winthrop, Roger Williams, Anne Hutchinson, Cotton Mather, Franklin, Tom Paine, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Madison from a fresh perspective. It emphasizes the role of religion in American history and how early America was linked to England's history and culture and includes incisive portraits of Andrew Jackson, Chief Justice Marshall, Clay, Lincoln, and Jefferson Davis. Johnson shows how Grover Cleveland and Teddy Roosevelt ushered in the age of big business and industry and how Woodrow Wilson revolutionized the government's role. He offers new views of Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover and of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal and his role as commander in chief during World War II. An examination of the unforeseen greatness of Harry Truman and reassessments of Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, and Bush follow. "Compulsively readable," said Foreign Affairs of Johnson's unique narrative skills and sharp profiles of people. This is an in-depth portrait of a great people, from their fragile origins through their struggles for independence and nationhood, their heroic efforts and sacrifices to deal with the `organic sin' of slavery and the preservation of the Union to its explosive economic growth and emergence as a world power and its sole superpower. Johnson discusses such contemporary topics as the politics of racism, education, Vietnam, the power of the press, political correctness, the growth of litigation, and the rising influence of women. He sees Americans as a problem-solving people and the story of America as "essentially one of difficulties being overcome by intelligence and skill, by faith and strength of purpose, by courage and persistence...Looking back on its past, and forward to its future, the auguries are that it will not disappoint humanity." This challenging narrative and interpretation of American history by the author of many distinguished historical works is sometimes controversial and always provocative. Johnson's views of individuals, events, themes, and issues are original, critical, and admiring, for he is, above all, a strong believer in the history and the destiny of the American people.
