Blowing Rock Revisited by Trent Margrif for the Blowing Rock Historical Society Pdf

Voted "the Prettiest Small Town in North Carolina" and often referred to as the Crown of the Blue Ridge, Blowing Rock is the highlight of the High Country. Named for a unique, natural feature itself, Blowing Rock has always represented a distinctive blend of natural and cultural heritage. The town was first developed as an early resort area, which grew quickly in the 1890s. Modern boardinghouses, hotels, and inns were the first significant businesses in Blowing Rock and helped the town survive--even flourish--during the Great Depression. Added attractions in the 1950s and 1960s made Blowing Rock a year-round vacation paradise for families, which it still is today. Yet the heart of Blowing Rock lies within its community and residents who make their small town a wonderful place to visit and an even better place to live.

John Hersey Revisited by David Sanders Pdf

In this revised edition of the 1967 Twayne volume, Sanders sees The Call (1985) as the culmination of Hersey's career, since it draws on autobiographical themes and marks a standard against which his earlier work in fiction and journalism should be measured. Discussing Hersey's early career as a correspondent as well as his major volumes of fiction and nonfiction in separate chapters, Sanders makes a persuasive case for Hersey as an important figure among writers who have experimented with journalism and the novel. He includes a chronology, a comprehensive bibliography of Hersey's works and a succinct, annotated bibliography of writing about Hersey. ISBN 0-8057-7610-9: $20.95.

Rustic Revisited by Ann Stillman O'Leary Pdf

• Rich, warm, relaxed, natural—Adirondack camps, Western lodges, much more • Glowing photos of dozens of unique rustic homes from across North America • Spotlights craftspeople and creative forces in construction and deacute;cor • Great idea book for anyone looking to design or decorate a primary or second home Used to be that “rustic” meant a dusty, dumpy cabin in the woods. No more!Rustic Revisitedreveals today's rustic—contemporary design that celebrates the honesty of all-natural, local materials such as wood, twig, stone, and bark. Rustic structures often have the same finish on the exterior and the interior—for example, rough-hewn timber on the outside and rough-hewn timber on the inside. The projects inRustic Revisitedembrace the hand-crafted philosophy of rustic and show how to take that philosophy to new heights in a variety of styles, from the Adirondack camp to the Western lodge to the classic log cabin. Thirty unique homes, most planned by architects or interior designers, are showcased here, each lavishly photographed to allow readers exclusive access to interiors, exteriors, and noteworthy details in unusual rustic houses from New York to California, from Montana to Ontario, from North Carolina to Minnesota. These spotlighted projects, plus photos of dozens of additional homes, cover the full spectrum of rustic—renovations and new construction, traditional and cutting edge. A bonus chapter on decoration spotlights the craftspeople who are the creative forces of the movement.
