Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1850 New York State produced more lumber than any state in the nationaa half million trees a year or a billion board feet of lumber. Enough lumber was produced in this area each year to make a boardwalk three-feet wide around the Earth. Most of the logs came out of the Adirondack area and were processed in Glens Falls, Warren County, New York. This area was known as the Lumber Capital of the World. The Adirondack area produced many lumber barons. Many used their wealth to build churches, canals, turnpikes, railways, great dams, hydroelectric plants, and enormous lumber mills. The history of the Quaker pioneers who settled in this northern wilderness near the great falls on the Hudson River is depicted in this book. These pioneers built the first water-driven sawmills and gristmills. Adirondack, Lumber Capital of the World depicts the areaas lumber camps, log drives, saw mills, pulp mills, tanneries, and the building of the Erie and Champlain Canals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Adirondacks have been an Indigenous homeland for millennia, and the presence of Native people in the region was obvious but not well documented by Europeans, who did not venture into the interior between the seventeenth and early nineteenth centuries. Yet, by the late nineteenth century, historians had scarcely any record of their long-lasting and vibrant existence in the area. With Rural Indigenousness, Otis shines a light on the rich history of Algonquian and Iroquoian people, offering the first comprehensive study of the relationship between Native Americans and the Adirondacks. While Otis focuses on the nineteenth century, she extends her analysis to periods before and after this era, revealing both the continuity and change that characterize the relationship over time. Otis argues that the landscape was much more than a mere hunting ground for Native residents; rather, it a "location of exchange," a space of interaction where the land was woven into the fabric of their lives as an essential source of refuge and survival. Drawing upon archival research, material culture, and oral histories, Otis examines the nature of Indigenous populations living in predominantly Euroamerican communities to identify the ways in which some maintained their distinct identity while also making selective adaptations exemplifying the concept of "survivance." In doing so, Rural Indigenousness develops a new conversation in the field of Native American studies that expands our understanding of urban and rural indigeneity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Guitars inspire cult-like devotion: an afficionado can tell you precisely when and where their favorite instruments were made. And she will likely also tell you about the wood they were made from and its unique effects on the instruments' sound. In Following Guitars, Chris Gibson and Andrew Warren trace guitars all the way back to the tree. It is a book about musical instrument making, the timbers and trees from which guitars are made. It chronicles the authors' journeys across the world, to guitar festivals, factories, remote sawmills, Indigenous lands, and distant rainforests, in search of the behind-the-scenes stories of how guitars are made, where the much-cherished guitar timbers ultimately come from, and the people and skills involved along the way. The authors are able to unlock insights on longer arcs of world history: on the human exploitation of nature, colonialism, industrial capitalism, and cultural change. They end on a parable of wider resonance: of the incredible but unappreciated skill and care that goes into growing and felling trees, milling timber, and making enchanted musical instruments; set against the human tendency to reform our use (and abuse) of natural resources only when it appears too late"--
