The Erie Canal And Rochester In 1803, the lousiana Purchase added much more land for New York City and other easterncities and overseas border failed because of adverse geography and lack http://www.rochester.infi.net/~rwhend/Eriecanal.html
Extractions: The Erie Canal and the Making of Rochester The Erie Canal was the subject of a lecture at the University of Rochester on February 6, 2002 by History Professor Morris Pierce. The pre-talk writeup says "Conceived and built in the early 1820s by the people of the State of New York, this forty-foot ribbon of water became an incredible highway of commerce, making their state the richest in the country. By a propitious accident of geography, the canal also transformed the sleepy village of Rochester into the first American city." I have also seen Rochester described as the first true American boom town, due to its explosive growth after the canal reached here in 1822. The following writeup is partly based on the lecture, partly on additional facts I've picked up over the years. Before the Revolutionary War, upstate New York was divided by the so-called "Proclamation Line" of 1763 (part of the settlement of the war between Great Britain and France which the Americans called the "French and Indian War"), which prohibited white settlement in regions beyond the Allegheny Mountains (including the Genesee valley). This was to protect the homelands of Indian tribes allied with Britain, particularly the Iroquois. However, punitive American expeditions under Clinton and Sullivan in western New York during the American Revolution weakened the Iroquois and facilitated trans-Allegheny settlement after the war. Large tracts of land in western New York were purchased from the Indians and opened to settlement. By then, many of the Iroquois had fled to Canada.

Extractions: A version of this article was published in the Nieman Reports, Winter 1996 By Keith Schneider Since Earth Day 1970, two ideas have served as the central organizing principles of American environmentalism. The first is the lesson from Silent Spring that everything in nature is connected. Pesticides sprayed in Illinois bio-accumulated in Mississippi River fish, killing pelicans in Lousiana that ate them. Cutting the rain forest in Central America means that song birds will not show up in New England. A coal-fired power plant in Nebraska releases mercury that contaminates lakes in Minnesota. The second idea is that there are good guys and bad guys. Almost every great environmental battle of the last generation has been cast as a moral set piece, with environmental groups intervening against the forces of evil. Think Love Canal and the spotted owl. Both of these messages became part of the civic and political conversation in every corner of the country because they have value and merit, and because they were embraced by the corps of reporters, producers, and editors who covered the movement. There is evidence now, though, that these two central ideas are not reaching people as they once did. The reason this is occurring, in part, is that as environmentalism matures, the

Extractions: Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana THE DECADE of the 1960s was a time of enthusiastic proposals for large interbasin water transfer schemes. A new generation of plans was put forward in North America, headlined by the grandiose NAWAPA scheme and including numerous other proposals for transfers of unprecedented scale between basins in the northern and western parts of the continent (Biswas, 1978). Similarly, in the Soviet Union, existing plans were elaborated and ambitious new proposals were put forward for the transfer of water from the more humid to the less humid regions of the continent (Micklin, 1977; Soviet Geography, 1972). This spate of large interbasin transfer proposals arose from new realizations of engineering capability and economic growth in industrial economies. It had become technically possible to alter on a broad new scale those natural environments in which water is the limiting factor to continued growth. The decade of the 1970s, however, was a period of retrenchment in planning for the large interbasin transfer schemes in North America. Some of the plans have been abandoned, many have been modified, and progress on all has been at least slowed down. Two factors are primarily responsible for the retrenchment: first, strong opposition has been raised by basins which would be called on to export their water resources, and second, rising costs have brought the economic feasibility of many large interbasin transfers into serious doubt.

One of the most notable changes involved the widespread making of pottery vessels.

Louisiana Redbones Local theories of origin, origin of the term "Redbone", customs, and Louisiana Redbones Category Regional North America Ethnicity Redbones Again, geography played its part. While many Redbones have moved to cities all overthe state and indeed over the world and now have jobs from menial to high http://dogwoodpress.myriad.net/dcm/redbone.html
Extractions: Papers PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to pull together the scant writings on the Louisiana Redbones and to present from those materials an account of their arrival in Louisiana, where they settled and how they lived. A definition of Redbones will be offered and it is hoped that their relationship to the Melungeons of the southeastern United States will be evident. The Melungeons have been called the mystery people, but their mysteriousness pales beside that of the Redbones. In order to properly understand these mystery people it is necessary to look first at the state into which they came. Return to Index THE STATE To say that Louisiana is culturally diverse is to state the obvious. What is not so obvious is the extent of the diversity. Louisiana has nurtured more cultural and ethnic diversity than perhaps any other state. One usually thinks of Louisiana as having two cultural groups: French Catholics in the south and Protestants in the north. That division is only a fraction of the picture. It omits the Germans, Irish, Spanish, Cubans, Mexicans, Italians, Czechs, Hungarians, Croatians, Canary Islanders (Islenos), Guatemalans, Filipinos, Chinese, Japanese, Laotians, Thais, Vietnamese (largest population of Vietnamese in the U.S.), Africans, Haitians, Jews, Greeks, Romani (Gypsies) and Native Americans. Louisiana has more than thirty Native American groups.

Extractions: An Unofficial guide to New Orleans. Table of Contents *Closest to the office are apartments, condos and homes in the Warehouse District, French Quarter, and Uptown (Garden District, University, Carrolton areas) Generally the traditional, characterful New Orleanian houses (and gardens) are smaller than elsewhere in the locality, but still large by European standards, as are the apartments and renovated warehouses and studios. All are close to or in the heart of the amenities of the city. Break-ins are not unknown, and there are streets that are not recommended to walk around in, children cannot roam freely or play unsupervised in these neighbourhoods. There is a sophisticated, classy, city atmosphere, and there is plenty of live music, and some of the best restaurants anywhere. Bicycle or street car are alternatives to cars for getting to work. The final choice, although affected by considerations on schools, commuting and security may finally come down to what is available, as there is not a lot of rental property at any one time. You may not be able to find a home to rent in your choice of location leaving you with two alternatives, to look elsewhere or to buy. Buying a home in the US has different procedures from Europe and the UK, so ask one of the expats who have bought for some guidelines before you begin. The Realtor you work with will help you sort out the technicalities and deadlines, but buy a book to keep yourself up on the differences in loan and payback terminology. There are also important tax implications when you sell as an expat and leave the US, which you should take professional advice on before you think about buying.
