Download Tales from the Emporium for FREE
Tales from the Emporium The life and times of the Whittlecreek and Eaton St Torpid Heritage Railway and Sal T. Marsh's Emporium Bob Trubshaw Welcome to more tales from an imaginary heritage railway in the top left-hand corner of Norfolk with rolling stock inspired by Rowland Emett’s cartoons of the 1940s and 50s. Truth to tell the author doesn’t get overly excited by locomotives or station buildings, although wagons and carriages occasionally arouse curiosity. His real interest is in the bigger picture of railways: why they were created, how they dealt with the local terrain, what influence they had on local farming, industry and settlements, and so forth. And that extends to 'heritage' railways: how they acquire funding, how they promote themselves as places of interest, and how they interact with other tourist attractions in the vicinity. The Whittlecreek and Eaton St Torpid Heritage Railway employs a General Manager (who does not like being called ‘The General’), a formidable Property Manager (who does like to be referred to as ‘The PM’), a witticism-infested Operations Manager who socialises each week with the neophobic Workshop Manager, and a Gift Shop Manager (deemed ‘nice but useless’). The railway staff interact with the somewhat overbearing curator of the nearby Arts Centre and two young sisters who create and sell pots at the Wonky Pot Emporium – when not chatting to customers or learning about some arcane aspects of Daoism. Paranormal vigils in the ruins of a twelfth century castle, the creation of a heritage museum focused on the former sand mining in the area, sightings of inexplicable big cats – or are they phantom black dogs? – in the fields nearby, and the preparations for a Viking festival all unknowingly converge on the dodgy dealings of the proprietor of the local canoe hire facility (named after a one-time local lass called Pocahontas). -
A Study of the Tales As Printed in Folk-Lore in 1891
2060302 INVESTIGATING THE LEGENDS OF THE CARRS: A STUDY OF THE TALES AS PRINTED IN FOLK-LORE IN 1891 Maureen James A submission presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Glamorgan/Prifysgol Morgannwg For the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Volume 1 April 2013 Abstract This study investigates the content, collection and dissemination of the Legends of the Cars, a group of tales published in Folk-Lore in 1891, as having been collected in North Lincolnshire from local people. The stories, have been criticised for their relatively unique content and the collector, Marie Clothilde Balfour has been accused of creating the tales. The stories are today used by artists, writers and storytellers, wishing to evoke the flatland and beliefs of the past, yet despite the questions raised regarding authenticity, neither the collector, the context or the contents have been thoroughly investigated. The tales have also, due to their inclusion in diverse collections, moved geographically south in the popular perception. This thesis documents the research into the historical, geographical and social context of the Legends of the Cars, and also validates the folkloric content and the dialect as being from North Lincolnshire. The situation within the early Folklore Society prior to, and after the publication of the stories, has also been investigated, to reveal a widespread desire to collect stories from the rural populations, particularly if they demonstrated a latent survival of paganism. Balfour followed the advice of the folklorists and, as well as submitting the tales in dialect, also acknowledged their pagan content within her introductions. -
Gathering Birch and Birch Bark
Birch and Birch Bark by John Zasada, USDA Forest Service All species of trees that we most commonly think of as "timber species" have potential commodity values, often referred to as non-timber forest products (NTFP) or special forest products, that are not necessarily related to wood and fiber products. Some of these NTFP values are recognized and commercially important and others are secreted in the history of Native Americans and other people who at one time in their past depended on natural products for their physical and spiritual well-being. Paper birch is one example of a species that was an important part of Native American culture and has considerable potential for NTFP. Before discussing NTFP from birch, we need to consider the potential for multiple products from this tree and from birch forests. The diagram below illustrates the potential product available from a birch stand as it develops through time. Admittedly, this is an idealized view of the potential. However, there are examples of uses of birch for each of the products indicated in the diagram. There has never been a plan to attempt to harvest all of these products from birch trees and stands in the same geographic area. Northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan would provide a good area to test these ideas. The two main products harvested from birch without killing the tree are sap and bark and, to a very minor extent, the roots. The method of collecting birch sap is generally similar to that of maple. Birch sap differs significantly, however, from maple in that it has simple sugars (glucose and fructose) rather than the more complex sugars of maple (sucrose). -

The Sedentary Process and the Evolution of Energy Consumption in Eight Native American Dwellings: Analyzing Sustainability in Traditional Architecture
sustainability Article The Sedentary Process and the Evolution of Energy Consumption in Eight Native American Dwellings: Analyzing Sustainability in Traditional Architecture María Jesús Montero Burgos 1,* , Hipólito Sanchiz Álvarez de Toledo 1, Roberto Alonso González Lezcano 2 and Antonio Galán de Mera 3 1 Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Comunicación, Campus de Moncloa, Universidad San Pablo-CEU, CEU Universities, 28040 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] 2 Escuela Politécnica Superior, Montepríncipe Campus de Boadilla del Monte, Universidad San Pablo-CEU, CEU Universities, 28040 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] 3 Facultad de Farmacia, Montepríncipe Campus de Boadilla del Monte, Universidad San Pablo-CEU, CEU Universities, 28040 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 23 January 2020; Accepted: 25 February 2020; Published: 28 February 2020 Abstract: According to the research developed by André Leroi-Gourhan in 1964, entitled “Gesture and speech”, the evolution of human beings during Prehistory was linked to the search for work efficiency. As time passed, man designed increasingly complex tools whose production implied a decreasing amount of energy. The aim of the present research was to determine if this evolution, which occurred in parallel to the sedentary process, also affected architecture, specifically if it can be detected on traditional dwellings, particularly in those built by the Native American Indians during the pre-Columbian period. Due to their great diversity, since both nomad and sedentary models can be found among them, and to the available information about their morphology and technical characteristics, these models offer a unique opportunity to study the consequences of this process for architecture. -

Traditional Native American Homes
Non-fiction: Native Americans – Traditional Native American Homes Native Americans Traditional Native American Homes Illustration by Lynn M. Hanousek Many people have heard of cone-shaped tepees. They are probably the most well-recognized traditional Native American home. However, traditional Native American houses came in many other shapes and sizes. On the Northwest coast, tribes lived in slant-roofed houses. These houses were built out of cedar planks1. The houses were huge – around 40 feet wide and 10 feet high. The Iroquois built even bigger houses. They were called longhouses. Longhouses were about 100 feet long. There was enough room in them for a large extended family2. Parents, children, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins all lived together. No one was left out. In California, most tribes dwelled in simpler houses. Small shelters were covered in earth or brush. Other California tribes built redwood plank houses. 1 planks: long wide rectangular pieces of wood 2 extended family: not just parents and children but also uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents 1 © 2012 ReadWorks®, Inc. All rights reserved. Non-fiction: Native Americans – Traditional Native American Homes Farming tribes in the Southwest built pueblos. Pueblos looked a lot like apartment houses. They were made out of stone or adobe. Adobe is a clay mixture. It is usually made into bricks. The bricks are dried in the sun. In the Midwest, around the Great Lakes, women were in charge of building wigwams. Even the young girls made tiny wigwams for their dolls. Wigwams are tent-like houses. They have frames1 made of wooden poles. A lot of these tribes moved from place to place. -
