Damariscotta Lake - Bok av Mary Sheldon, Edmée Déjean, m.fl. - Inbunden

Damariscotta Lake, the link between the towns of Jefferson, Newcastle, and Nobleboro, has always had a unique allure.

In the 20th century, the establishment of children's camps, fishing lodges, cottages, and homes relied on..

In 1939, the Goodyear blimp Mayflower made daily sightseeing flights over the New..

Six years later, in 1882, the Atlantic and Pacific Railway reached Flagstaff, and a small settlement was born. Railroad construction crews used local ponderosa pine trees for rail ties, beginning a timber..

Anamosa Penitentiary - Bok av Richard Snavely & Steve Wendl - Inbunden

In 1868, with Iowa fast outgrowing its only prison in Fort Madison, state lawmakers began thinking about building a new penitentiary. Several cities around the state vied for the prestige and economic benefits the new prison would provide. Anamosa, a rapidly growing town of 2,000 in east-central Iowa, was ultimately awarded the prize, in no small measure because of its proximity to some of the largest and finest dolomite limestone deposits in the world, coveted as the perfect building material for..
