CLARIFICATIONS / CONTRACTOR QUESTIONS: 1. Q: The unit of measurement for the aggregate base material is in cubic yards. Can the units be revised to reflect the number of tons? A: Section 607.12 Unit Costs and Measures provides for the acceptable units for measurement. The quantity reflected in the bid form is based upon the area x thickness of the material. Please note that the volume is measured as “in-place and does not account for any volumetric loss due to compaction. The conversion from cubic yards to tons is based upon the unit weight of the material. For example, assuming a unit weight of 130 lbs/ft 3, which may be considered normal for VDOT 21B material, the conversion to tons would be 1 CY x (27 ft 3 / yd 3) x (130 lbs/ft 3) x (1 ton/2000 lbs).

    NATIONAL PARK . Vitofinia SUoHandoaU HE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS of Virginia are Tfamed in song and tradition for their scenic loveliness, romantic setting, and his­ torical association. In the heart of these mountains is the Shenandoah National Park, established in 1935, the first wilder­ ness area east of the Mississippi to be created a national park. Comprising 182,854 acres, the park ex­ tends for 75 miles in a narrow strip along the crest of the Blue Ridge from Front Royal on the northeast to the vicinity of Waynes­ boro on the southeast. The altitude varies from 600 feet above sea level at the north entrance to 4,049 feet at the summit of Hawksbill Mountain. The Skyline Drive It is for the far-reaching views from the Skyline Drive that the park is most widely known. The drive, macadamized and smooth, with an easy gradient and wide, sweeping curves, unfolds to view innumer­ able sweeping panoramas of lofty peaks, forested ravines, meandering streams, and the green and brown patchwork fields of A TYPICAL SECTION OF THE FAMOUS SKYLINE DRIVE the valley farms below.

  • Fannie Thompson of Beersheba Springs and Her Family
    Fannie Thompson of Beersheba Springs and her Family he house now called Nanhaven, at 147 Dahlgren Avenue in Beersheba Springs, TTennessee, entered the family of the present owners when it was bought by Fannie Thompson (1852 – 1914) on May 3, 1887 for $550. John Armfield had built it about 1855 and sold it on a mortgage to Charles G. Dahlgren of Natchez. After the Civil War, it had reverted to Armfield. The 1887 price was less than one seventh of what Dahlgren had paid. Converted to 2011 prices by the index of unskilled labor, the $550 would be $86,000; converted by the index of skilled labor it would be $138,000. These figures bracket the current assessed value of the property. Fannie, as far as we can tell, probably supported herself by teaching school and is unlikely, by age 35, to have saved up any such sum. The money must have been an inheritance, and we shall try to discover where it came from. Fannie's real name was Frances, but she seems to have seldom used it, preferring Fannie or Fanny (as in the deed to the house) or Fan or Fannie Thompson Nan. Her first visit to Beersheba is described in a letter of reminiscences by Alfred Elliott Howell (1863- 1931), son of Morton B. Howell of the Howell Cottage in Beersheba. In the summer of 1884, he wanted to invite Jane Reynolds “Jennie” Thompson (1862-1941), to whom he was engaged, to visit in Beersheba. But, in his words, it was “not quite conventional” for Jennie to visit Alfred in his home, but quite all right for Jennie's sister Fannie to visit Alfred's sister Sue.

  • Fire Ecology in Shenan- Doah National Park
    Fire Ecology in Shenan­ doah National Park GENE WILHELM1 Slippery Rock State College Slippery Rock,PA 16057 INTRODUCTION SHENANDOAH National Park was established by an Act of Congress in 1935 to preserve a representative segment of the scenic Central Appalachian Mountains for the future benefit and enjoyment of the American people. The park is unique among most in the National Park System because of its very origin. Prior to park creation the mountainous region was practically decimated of all natural vegetation and animal life. Likewise the area in the early 1930's was "home" for over 3,000 mountain folk. From almost total degradation then, parkscape protection over a 35 -year period has permitted natural and human scars to heal, so that today the park exists in a more or less natural state. The chief scientific interest in the park is the ecological changes that have taken place since its establishment. Shenandoah National Park presents a rare opportunity for ecologists to study the dynamic processes of natural succession from extensive clearings to dense forests. The primary objective of this report is to indicate the signifi­ cant role that fire has played in the ecological changes to the park­ scape in time and space. Field data were collected during nine summers of residence in Shenandoah National Park from 1963 through 1971. Total field time approximated 28 months. Additional information was acquired 1 Associate Professor of Geography and Coordinator of Environmental Sciences, School of Social & Behavioral Sciences, Slippery Rock State College, Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania 16057. 445 GENE WILHELM from park personnel, former park inhabitants, and Alderman Library at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville.

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national database.

The chief object of this Supplement is to preserve some ac- count of many pioneer settlers of Augusta county and their immediate descendants. It would be impossible, within any reasonable limits, to include the existing generation, and hence the names of living persons are generally omitted. The writer regrets that he cannot present here sketches of other ancient and worthy families, such as the Andersons, Christians, Hamiltons, Kerrs, McPheeterses, Millers, Pattersons, Pilsons, Walkers, etc. The genealogies of several of the oldest and most distinguished families— Lewis, Preston, Houston, etc. —are omitted, because they are given fully in other publications.

  • Wild by Design the Technological Construction of Authenticity, Wilderness, and Nature in America's National Parks, 1860-1945
    Wild by Design The Technological Construction of Authenticity, Wilderness, and Nature in America's National Parks, 1860-1945 By Jonathan M. Shafer A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 3, 2019 Keywords: national parks, leisure, park paradigm, technology, travel, environment Copyright 2019 by Jonathan M. Shafer Approved by David Lucsko, Chair, Associate Professor of History Alan Meyer, Associate Professor of History Sarah Hamilton, Assistant Professor of History Keith Hebert, Assistant Professor of History Michael Robinson, Professor of Architecture and Landscape Architecture Abstract This dissertation explores the origins of American national park experiences. It explores how several social groups attempted to make the national parks conform to their expectations and desires using political power, financial investments, and democratic advocacy by profiling tourists, government policymakers, business owners who wanted to profit from parks, nature enthusiasts, park rangers, and parks’ former residents. It argues that these groups collectively contributed to a paradigm that defined national parks as unique, wild, natural, unpeopled, profitable, legible, and easily accessible. The dissertation features case studies on Shenandoah and Death Valley National Parks that show the paradigm’s portability. Even though neither of those places was like the national parks created before them, those sites’ supporters succeeded at adding them to the National Park System by physically and rhetorically changing them to fit the park paradigm. The dissertation focuses on these parks because they both entered the national park system in the 1930s, because their staff’s consciously shaped them to be like preexisting national parks, and because both entered the system to accomplish objectives unrelated to natural conservation.
