Pekin and Tremont, Illinois in Vintage Postcards by Donald L. Nieukirk Pdf

From 1898 through the middle of World War I, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" are today considered works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of local children only too happy to pose for a picture. These images, printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country, survive as telling reminders of an important era in America's history. This fascinating new history of Pekin and Tremont, Illinois, showcases more than 200 of the best vintage postcards available.

In Pursuit of the Traveling Salesman by William J. Cook Pdf

The story of one of the greatest unsolved problems in mathematics What is the shortest possible route for a traveling salesman seeking to visit each city on a list exactly once and return to his city of origin? It sounds simple enough, yet the traveling salesman problem is one of the most intensely studied puzzles in applied mathematics—and it has defied solution to this day. In this book, William Cook takes readers on a mathematical excursion, picking up the salesman's trail in the 1800s when Irish mathematician W. R. Hamilton first defined the problem, and venturing to the furthest limits of today’s state-of-the-art attempts to solve it. He also explores its many important applications, from genome sequencing and designing computer processors to arranging music and hunting for planets. In Pursuit of the Traveling Salesman travels to the very threshold of our understanding about the nature of complexity, and challenges you yourself to discover the solution to this captivating mathematical problem.

Pekin by G. Bradley Publishing, Incorporated Pdf

In 1680 a legendary explorer stood on a high bluff and looked out over the Illinois River. His eyes beheld an abundant land rich in natural resources, a place where a family could live and prosper. He was Sieur LaSalle. Almost 150 years later, Jonathan Tharp and his family, recently arrived from Ohio, planted, endured and laid the foundation of a dynamic community. Far-sighted entrepreneurs like Teis Smith, George Herget, and George Ehrlicher helped make Pekin a thriving city of small businesses and major industry. At the turn of the century, with an abundance of grain, an excellent water supply and rail facilities, Pekin was awash with "rivers of beer and oceans of whiskey." The making of Pekin was not only defined in smokestacks and industry, but also in the diversity of its people; blue-shirted workmen like some in the German community that occupied "Bean Town" and the Italians that worked the mines. Today, Pekin residents now take pride in their churches, schools, social services, exciting sports' programs, music and entertainment. They also take pride in their independent, creative leaders: like political great Everett Dirksen; nationally recognized Richard Stolley and John McNaughton; and Pekin's own "top gun" Scott Altman. There is much to be proud of in Pekin. And the original pioneers would be surprised and proud of the city's annual Marigold Festival with its 100,000 visitors. Within the pages of this book, the 175 years of Pekin's rich history comes alive through photographs which serve as windows on the past. These time capsules help us to share in the excitement and vitality of a city on the grow.--Book jacket.

Sundown Towns by James W. Loewen Pdf

"Powerful and important . . . an instant classic." —The Washington Post Book World The award-winning look at an ugly aspect of American racism by the bestselling author of Lies My Teacher Told Me, reissued with a new preface by the author In this groundbreaking work, sociologist James W. Loewen, author of the classic bestseller Lies My Teacher Told Me, brings to light decades of hidden racial exclusion in America. In a provocative, sweeping analysis of American residential patterns, Loewen uncovers the thousands of "sundown towns"—almost exclusively white towns where it was an unspoken rule that blacks weren't welcome—that cropped up throughout the twentieth century, most of them located outside of the South. Written with Loewen's trademark honesty and thoroughness, Sundown Towns won the Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Award, received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly and Booklist, and launched a nationwide online effort to track down and catalog sundown towns across America. In a new preface, Loewen puts this history in the context of current controversies around white supremacy and the Black Lives Matter movement. He revisits sundown towns and finds the number way down, but with notable exceptions in exclusive all-white suburbs such as Kenilworth, Illinois, which as of 2010 had not a single black household. And, although many former sundown towns are now integrated, they often face "second-generation sundown town issues," such as in Ferguson, Missouri, a former sundown town that is now majority black, but with a majority-white police force.

On the Storied Ohio by Reuben Gold Thwaites Pdf

On the Storied Ohio tells the story of the six-week, 1100-mile journey down the Ohio River made by the longtime Secretary and Director of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and Managing Editor of the Wisconsin State Journal, Rueben Gold Thwaites, his family and a Doctor. This new and revised edition of Afloat on the Ohio recounts the 1894 adventure from Redstone, PA to Cairo, IL when Thwaits chose to make the pilgrimage by skiff rather than onboard the faster steamers. It is a logbook of their travels and the curious people they met. Yet it is also a rich retelling of river legend, looking into the past to understand the great waterway while imagining the experiences of the early explorers, pioneers, and settlers who opened up the West through river travel from the East.
