Book Description
Excerpt from Market Book, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing a Historical Account of the Public Markets in the Cities of New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn; With a Brief Description of Every Article of Human Food Sold Therein In my case, being found here, so much out of my line, I do not know under which, or how many, of the above heads to place myself; and I must therefore leave the reader to judge, and determine my position from his own estimate of my merit. For several years, the unemployed hours from my business, or rather profession, had hung heavily on my mind, and to fill them up satisfactorily, was a thought I had often indulged in. To be sure, at times, there were no leisure hours, not one of the twenty-four, but what were needed for rest; and again, one, two, three, and sometimes four, could be employed in doing something, either useful or wasteful; but what to do, was the question. I knew I had some knowledge, which business and observation had given me; but I also knew that I was very deficient in learning, or at least of knowing how to ex press myself, satisfactorily to myself. So I thought to improve, or at least to inform myself, even at this late day; but the reader may say, An old scholar is not an apt one-and so I found it. I had the disadvantage of not knowing which end to begin with, but went headforemost into what appeared to me to be the most agree able to my feelings.

Book Description
The Women Who Made New York reveals the untold stories of the phenomenal women who made New York City the cultural epicenter of the world. Many were revolutionaries and activists, like Zora Neale Hurston and Audre Lorde. Others were icons and iconoclasts, like Fran Lebowitz and Grace Jones. There were also women who led quieter private lives but were just as influential, such as Emily Warren Roebling, who completed the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge when her engineer husband became too ill to work.--Amazon.com
The Chisholm Trail
Author: James E. SherowPublisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806162945
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
One hundred fifty years ago the McCoy brothers of Springfield, Illinois, bet their fortunes on Abilene, Kansas, then just a slapdash way station. Instead of an endless horizon of prairie grasses, they saw a bustling outlet for hundreds of thousands of Texas Longhorns coming up the Chisholm Trail—and the youngest brother, Joseph, saw how a middleman could become wealthy in the process. This is the story of how that gamble paid off, transforming the cattle trade and, with it, the American landscape and diet. The Chisholm Trail follows McCoy’s vision and the effects of the Chisholm Trail from post–Civil War Texas and Kansas to the multimillion-dollar beef industry that remade the Great Plains, the American diet, and the national and international beef trade. At every step, both nature and humanity put roadblocks in McCoy’s way. Texas cattle fever had dampened the appetite for longhorns, while prairie fires, thunderstorms, blizzards, droughts, and floods roiled the land. Unscrupulous railroad managers, stiff competition from other brokers, Indians who resented the usurping of their grasslands, and farmers who preferred growing wheat to raising cattle all threatened to impede the McCoys’ vision for the trail. As author James E. Sherow shows, by confronting these obstacles, McCoy put his own stamp upon the land, and on eating habits as far away as New York City and London. Joseph McCoy’s enterprise forged links between cattlemen, entrepreneurs, and restaurateurs; between ecology, disease, and technology; and between local, national, and international markets. Tracing these connections, The Chisholm Trail shows in vivid terms how a gamble made in the face of uncontrollable natural factors indelibly changed the environment, reshaped the Kansas prairie into the nation’s stockyard, and transformed Plains Indian hunting grounds into the hub of a domestic farm culture.
