Book Description
Excerpt from William Painter and His Father, Dr. Edward Painter: Sketches and Reminiscences In the production of this book I have obeyed the natural impulse to preserve accounts of two benefactors of the human race, inasmuch as they were my pro genitors. My father, William Painter, and his father, Dr. Edward Painter, were endowed with great energy, although I believe that their lives were unduly shortened by overwork. Father died in his sixty - eighth year, and grandfather in his sixty-third year. Memories of them are treasured by many, and many have passed on who clasped their hands. For those who cherish such recollections and for those who did not know them personally and desire to know more of their lives, this work is com piled. In the struggles of life of the present and ou-coming generations, the very near aspects which some, including myself, possess, may become dimmed or lost lest these steps be taken. In looking over old photographs which I have zealously cared for, I have found that many are fading. The original negatives of a number were destroyed in the fire of 1904, and it is thus apparent that these Visual representa tions of loved faces and closed chapters, as well as biographical matter concerning them, should be given over to the arts of the engraver and printer without delay.

Cork Wars
Author: David A. Taylor
Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press+ORM
ISBN: 1421426927
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
“This well-researched, well-told story takes readers into a world of espionage, industrial ingenuity, and American resilience . . . a compelling history.” —Robert Whitaker, author of Anatomy of an Epidemic Silver Medal Winner of the Independent Publisher Book Award for History (World) In 1940, with German U-boats blockading all commerce across the Atlantic Ocean, a fireball at the Crown Cork and Seal factory lit the sky over Baltimore. Rumors of Nazi sabotage led to an FBI investigation and pulled an entire industry into the machinery of national security as America stood on the brink of war. In Cork Wars, David A. Taylor traces this fascinating story through the lives of three men and their families: Charles McManus, who ran Crown Cork and Seal, a company that manufactured everything from bottle caps to oil-tight gaskets for fighter planes; Frank DiCara, who watched the fire blazed at the factory and got a job at Crown just a few years later; and Melchor Marsa, who managed Crown Cork and Seal’s plants in Spain and Portugal—and was perfectly placed to be recruited as a spy. Drawing on in-depth interviews with surviving family members, personal collections, and recently declassified government records, Taylor weaves this by turns beautiful, dark, and outrageous narrative with the drama of a thriller. From the factory floor to the corner office, Cork Wars reflects shifts in our ideas of modernity, the environment, and the materials and norms of American life. World War II buffs—and anyone interested in a good yarn—will be gripped by this bold and frightening tale of a forgotten episode of American history. “An absorbing and illuminating read.” —Maury Klein, author of A Call to Arms

Dance Lodges of the Omaha People
Author:
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803233751
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
After the Omaha Nation was officially granted its reservation land in northeastern Nebraska in 1854, Omaha culture appeared to succumb to a Euro-American standard of living under the combined onslaught of federal Indian policies, governmental officials, and missionary zealots. At the same time, however, new circular wooden structures appeared on some Omaha homesteads. Blending into the architectural environment of the mainstream culture, these lodges provided the ritual space in which dances and ceremonies could be conducted at a time when such practices were coercively suppressed. ø Drawing on the oral histories of forty Omaha elders collected in 1992, Dance Lodges of the Omaha People provides insights into how these lodges shaped Omaha cultural identity and illustrates the adaptive abilities of the modern Omaha tribe. The lodges replaced the diminished pre-reservation tribal institutions as maintainers of tribal cohesion and unity and at the same time provided an arena for selective acculturation of outside ideas and behaviors. A new afterword by the author highlights advances in research on these unique structures since 1992 and speculates on the connection between these lodges and the spread of the Omaha Hethushka dance across the Great Plains.
