Barber: "Fountains of Joy" “‘Fountains of Joy’: Alcohol Culture and Hospitality in Nineteenth Century Missouri” Introduction Alcohol has played numerous roles in civilizations. Certainly, in some ancient civilizations producers hailed the nutritional effects of alcohol. In other societies, it allowed those producing it an alternative means to supplement their economic potential. Certainly, Americans have found alcohol a suitable component of their lives since the colonial period, in large part due to a cultural outlook inherited from Europeans, although Africans, and Native American people and cultures coalesced in the New World (Mäkelä, 1983, p. 24). Early on in United States history in regions along the American border between southern, northern, and western states, it made sense for farmers who grew corn or other grains to allow a portion of their crops to ferment into alcohol, which facilitated easier storing or transportation to marketplaces.

    Whittling down Alaska’s abundant of erings in f ve port towns by Daliah Singer SOUTHEAST ALASKA’S MOUNTAINOUS TOPOGRAPHY AND PIERCING BLUE, GLACIER-FED WATERS ARE AS DRAMATIC and unique as the region’s history. Settled by the indigenous Tlingit people and Russians who migrated over the Bering Land Bridge (an exposed swath that has since been covered by seawater), the Alaska Panhandle’s small towns overfl ow with remnants of days gone by. From a scenic railroad trip along the path taken by hopeful prospectors during the Klondike Gold Rush to high-caliber salmon and halibut fi shing, a trip here af ords visitors a fi rsthand look at how a region mired in the past has evolved in order to survive. Beyond the historic tours and restaurant menus fi lled with fresh salmon chowder (and sandwiches and stir-fry), bountiful outdoor recreation opportunities encourage exploration of the temperate rain forest (expect some rain) where astounding views of vertical rock walls, verdant forests, and seemingly endless glaciers start right from port. The majority of Southeast Alaska sits in the Tongass National Forest—the largest in the United States. You’ll fi nd hiking, fi shing, dog sledding, and more of ered almost everywhere, but each borough has a unique character, as you’ll discover in this guide to fi ve of the Panhandle’s main port cities. Note that rates listed here may vary, and booking them through your cruise line may yield better pricing. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker who’s not afraid of heights or a day-tripping passenger searching for a more relaxed experience, Southeast Alaska delivers.

  • The Alaskan Mining Industry in 1922
    THE ALASKAN MINING INDUSTRY IN 1922. By ALFRED H. BROOKS and S. R. CAPPS. GENERAL SITUATION. The value of the total annual mineral production of Alaska increased from $17,004,124 in 1921 to $19,506,365 in 1922.1 Though this increase was due almost entirely to the larger copper output from a few mines, the prosperity of the mining industry as a whole was very evident. The rather widespread pessimism hi regard to the present and future prosperity of the Alaska mining industry is not hard to under­ stand. Dazzled by the quick fortunes made during the prosperous days of bonanza placer mining, the public has failed to mark the steady advance of other and more permanent phases of mining that not only continued during the war but has been greatly accelerated in the last two years. The great publicity given to the failure of some of the large auriferous quartz mines near Juneau, for reasons later to be discussed, has entirely obscured the slow but steady development of other Alaska lode properties. The marked decline in the annual copper output since 1917, the result of low prices for the metal, has been erroneously interpreted as marking the decline of the Alaska copper-mining industry. The public, misled by widely circulated and grossly exaggerated statements of the value of Alaska coal lands, is puzzled by the apparent lack of progress in their exploita­ tion. Thus far, indeed, discouraging results have met the rather meager underground exploration of the best Alaska coal. On the other hand, the furnishing of local coal to the region tributary to the Alaska Railroad is a very important advance, even though a reserve of export coal has not yet been developed.

  • Landscape and History at the Headwaters of the Big Coal River
    Landscape and History at the Headwaters of the Big Coal River Valley An Overview By Mary Hufford Reading the Landscape: An Introduction “This whole valley’s full of history.” -- Elsie Rich, Jarrold’s Valley From the air today, as one flies westward across West Virginia, the mountains appear to crest in long, undulating waves, giving way beyond the Allegheny Front to the deeply crenulated mass of the coal-bearing Allegheny plateaus. The sandstone ridges of Cherry Pond, Kayford, Guyandotte, and Coal River mountains where the headwaters of southern West Virginia’s Big Coal River rise are the spectacular effect of millions of years of erosion. Here, water cutting a downward path through shale etched thousands of winding hollows and deep valleys into the unglaciated tablelands of the plateaus. Archeologists have recovered evidence of human activity in the mountains only from the past 12,000 years, a tiny period in the region’s ecological development. Over the eons it took to transform an ancient tableland into today’s mountains and valleys, a highly differentiated forest evolved. Known among ecologists as the mixed mesophytic forest, it is the biologically richest temperate-zone hardwood system in the world. And running in ribbons beneath the fertile humus that anchors the mixed mesophytic are seams of coal, the fossilized legacy of an ancient tropical forest, submerged and compressed during the Paleozoic era beneath an inland sea.1 Many of the world’s mythologies explain landforms as the legacies of struggles among giants, time out of mind. Legend accounts for the Giant’s Causeway, a geological formation off the coast of Northern Ireland, as the remains of an ancient bridge that giants made between Ireland and Scotland.

  • Our County, Our Story; Portage County, Wisconsin
    Our County Our Story PORTAGE COUNTY WISCONSIN BY Malcolm Rosholt Charles M. White Memorial Public LibrarJ PORTAGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STEVENS POINT, \VISCONSIN 1959 Copyright, 1959, by the PORTAGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AT WORZALLA PUBLISHING COMPANY STEVENS POINT, WISCONSIN FOREWORD With the approach of the first frost in Portage County the leaves begin to fall from the white birch and the poplar trees. Shortly the basswood turns yellow and the elm tree takes on a reddish hue. The real glory of autumn begins in October when the maples, as if blushing in modesty, turn to gold and crimson, and the entire forest around is aflame with color set off against deeper shades of evergreens and newly-planted Christmas trees. To me this is the most beautiful season of the year. But it is not of her beauty only that I write, but of her colorful past, for Portage County is already rich in history and legend. And I share, in part, at least, the conviction of Margaret Fuller who wrote more than a century ago that "not one seed from the past" should be lost. Some may wonder why I include the names listed in the first tax rolls. It is part of my purpose to anchor these names in our history because, if for no other reas­ on, they were here first and there can never be another first. The spellings of names and places follow the spellings in the documents as far as legibility permits. Some no doubt are incorrect in the original entry, but the major­ ity were probably correct and since have changed, which makes the original entry a matter of historic significance.

  • The Saloon in Nashville and the Coming of Prohibition in Tennessee
    THE SALOON IN NASHVILLE AND THE COMING OF PROHIBITION IN TENNESSEE by Mason K. Christensen A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Public History Middle Tennessee State University 2013 Thesis Committee: Dr. Brenden Martin Dr. Susan Myers-Shirk I dedicate this to the forgotten patrons of Black Bottom and Hell’s Half Acre saloons who faced miserable home environments and constant harassment by the Nashville Police. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Brenden Martin and Dr. Susan Myers-Shirk for helping me properly structure the most entertaining writing project of my college career. Their help made this into something more than an ordinary entertainment or political history. I would also like to thank my father for helping me brainstorm ideas and edit sections of this thesis. iii ABSTRACT Saloons in Nashville and other American cities offered more than food and drinks to patrons: they served as centers of entertainment and places to seek companionship. Despite their importance, drinking establishments in Nashville and other parts of the urban south have been little studied. By the early twentieth century, Nashville saloons had reached two hundred in number and faced little regulation. Yet, in little over ten years, legal saloons were forced to close. Their downfall was rapid because the city’s saloons became a main target of Tennessee evangelical organizations and progressive politicians like Edward Carmack. They made drinking establishments for the wealthy become equally detestable as ones in slums to the Tennessee voting community. Tennessee politicians responded by removing saloon backers from political office in Nashville.
