Hidden History of Franklin County, Vermont by Jason Barney Pdf

Tucked between the Canadian border and Lake Champlain, Franklin County was one of colonial America's earliest economic, military and cultural byways. From Native American occupation to America's early wars and bootlegging, many of the region's stories remain untold. Revolutionary War heroics in Swanton included skirmishes over Simon Metcalf's prized sawmill. Tory families settled in the border town of Highgate right after the war, mistakenly believing they were in Canada. Lake Champlain and the small rivers of the county were a key resource for the once-thriving ice harvesting industry. From the development of the first poor farms to the Back to the Land movement, the region has experienced fascinating social and economic change. Join local historian and author Jason Barney as he unveils the area's forgotten past.

Northern Vermont in the Revolutionary War by Jason Barney Pdf

Northern Vermont played a pivotal role in the American Revolution. While the larger campaigns such as the Taking of Fort Ticonderoga, the Quebec Invasion of 1775 and The Battle of Valcour Island have received appropriate historical attention, there were other vital actions in the area as well. Benedict Arnold and Benjamin Franklin spent significant time in the Champlain Valley. George Washington kept a keen eye on events in the region as raiding parties descended upon numerous Vermont communities. The isolated waters of Missisquoi Bay were as vital as any waterway in America, and the Lake Champlain islands were some of the most strategic territory in the thirteen colonies. Author and local historian Jason Barney exposes the details and explores how small towns were impacted by invading British armies from Quebec.

“If you ever wondered about the repeated number sequences you see and what they might be trying to tell you, Jones and Flaxman take you on a rollercoaster ride through the levels of mind and consciousness." —Chellie Campbell, author The Wealthy Spirit and Zero to Zillionaire Do you wake up every night and see 11:11 on the clock? Or 3:33? 4:44? Does the same number sequence seem to appear throughout your life over and over? Did you know that millions of people all over the world experience the same phenomenon? These mysterious number sequences are known as “time prompts,” and show up on digital clocks, cell phones, receipts, billboards, advertisements, and other places.

This book explores the many theories about what these number sequences are, including: The science behind synchronicities, coincidences, and the mathematical nature of reality Numerical patterns and sacred geometry in nature—such as the Fibonacci spiral, the golden ratio, and DNA sequences Enter the intriguing world of time prompts. If numbers are the language of the Universe, what are they saying to you?

Hidden History of the Mid-Hudson Valley by Carney Rhinevault,Tatiana Rhinevault Pdf

The Albany Post Road was the vital artery between New York City and the state capital in Albany in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It saw a host of interesting events and colorful characters, though these unusual and extraordinary stories, as well as their connection to the thoroughfare, are oft forgotten. Revolutionary War spies marched this path, and anti-rent wars rocked Columbia County. Underground Railroad safe houses in nearby towns like Rhinebeck and Fishkill sheltered slaves seeking freedom in Canada, and Frank Teal's Dutchess County murder remains unsolved. With illustrations by Tatiana Rhinevault, local historian Carney Rhinevault presents these and other hidden stories from the Albany Post Road in New York's mid-Hudson Valley.
