Troy's Little Italy Revisited
by Michael A. EspositoA significant part of Troy's history, and that of its neighborhood, is the immigration of diverse ethnic groups. By 1900, the US Census reported 465 Italian-born residents in Troy, and in 1930, there were 2,000 Italian immigrants. From 1900 to the 1950s, Little Italy, bordering the central business district from Ferry Street to the Poestenkill and from Fourth Street to Prospect Park, was predominately an Italian or Italian American neighborhood. Among the close-knit families of Troy's Little Italy were import stores, 60 mom-and-pop shops, churches, schools, a community center, and a veterans' post, all of which were found within a 20-block radius. America's Little Italy neighborhoods became centers of ethnic culture and heritage. In the 1960s, urban renewal challenged Troy and other cities with mixed results. Today, there is resurgence in Troy, with plans to expand the city's central historic district to include most of Little Italy. In the meantime, empty nesters, artists, and young professionals are moving into the neighborhood as valuable community partners continue to support the efforts of the neighborhood group Troy Little Italy.
Troy: A City from the Corners
by Loraine Campbell Troy Historical SocietyLong before it was the site of shopping centers, corporate headquarters, and universities, Troy was a humble pioneer settlement comprised of farms and small knots of buildings at simple crossroads known as Troy Corners, Big Beaver, and Halsey Corners. School bells, church socials, and harvesting seasons punctuated the simple country lives of early Troy residents. The establishment of the Detroit United Railway in 1898 brought new opportunities to Troy settlers, rattling up Livernois daily and transporting passengers, milk, and freight between Flint and Detroit. By the end of World War II, Troy was rapidly changing. Subdivisions replaced farms, the township was incorporated as the City of Troy, and gracious homes and new businesses quickly replaced the clusters of clapboard structures. This book utilizes the remarkable resources of the Troy Historical Society and the Troy Museum & Historic Village to document and celebrate Troy's development over the course of two centuries.
Truck de India!: A Hitchhiker's guide to Hindustan
by Mr. Rajat Ubhaykar"The share auto I squeeze into next seems unusually vulnerable after a night in the truck - too compact, too low down. Perhaps, these are the usual side effects of prolonged riding with the king of the road, I think to myself. But it is only when I fill in ‘truck’ as my mode of transportation in the hotel ledger at Udaipur does the utter ludicrousness of my endeavour truly hit home" Think truck drivers, and movie scenes of them drunkenly crushing inconvenient people to their gravelly deaths come to mind. But what are their lives on the road actually like? In Truck De India!, journalist Rajat Ubhaykar embarks on a 10,000 km-long, 100% unplanned trip, hitchhiking with truckers all across India. On the way, he makes unexpected friendships; listens to highway ghost stories; discovers the near-fatal consequences of overloading trucks; documents the fascinating tradition of truck art in Punjab; travels alongside nomadic shepherds in Kashmir; encounters endemic corruption repeatedly; survives NH39, the insurgent-ridden highway through Nagaland and Manipur; and is unfailingly greeted by the unconditional kindness of perfect strangers. Imbued with humour, empathy, and a keen sense of history, Truck De India! is a travelogue like no other you've read. It is the story of India, and Indians, on the road.

True Raiders: The Untold Story of the 1909 Expedition to Find the Legendary Ark of the Covenant
by Brad RiccaTrue Raiders is The Lost City of Z meets The Da Vinci Code, from critically acclaimed author Brad Ricca.This book tells the untold true story of Monty Parker, a British rogue nobleman who, after being dared to do so by Ava Astor, the so-called “most beautiful woman in the world,” headed a secret 1909 expedition to find the fabled Ark of the Covenant. Like a real-life version of Raiders of the Lost Ark, this incredible story of adventure and mystery has almost been completely forgotten today.In 1908, Monty is approached by a strange Finnish scholar named Valter Juvelius who claims to have discovered a secret code in the Bible that reveals the location of the Ark. Monty assembles a ragtag group of blueblood adventurers, a renowned psychic, and a Franciscan father, to engage in a secret excavation just outside the city walls of Jerusalem.Using recently uncovered records from the original expedition and several newly translated sources, True Raiders is the first retelling of this group’s adventures– in the space between fact and faith, science and romance.
True Summit
by David RobertsIn a startling look at the classic Annapurna -- the most famous book about mountaineering -- David Roberts discloses what really happened on the legendary expedition to the Himalayan peak. In June 1950, a team of mountaineers was the first to conquer an 8,000-meter peak. Maurice Herzog, the leader of the expedition, became a national hero in France, and Annapurna, his account of the historic ascent, has long been regarded as the ultimate tale of courage and cooperation under the harshest of conditions. In True Summit, David Roberts presents a fascinating revision of this classic tale. Using newly available documents and information gleaned from a rare interview with Herzog (the only climber on the team still living), Roberts shows that the expedition was torn by dissent. As he re-creates the actual events, Roberts lays bare Herzog's self-serving determination and bestows long-delayed credit to the most accomplished and unsung heroes. These new revelations will inspire young adventurers and change forever the way we think about this victory in the mountains and the climbers who achieved it.
True Tales of Life & Death at Fort Adams (Landmarks Ser.)
by Kathleen Troost-CramerThe story of a historic Newport, Rhode Island, landmark shadowed by tragedy.For 150 years, Fort Adams guarded the strategic entrance to Narragansett Bay and Newport Harbor. It was the largest coastal fortification in the United States, and though the site never saw a battle, its history is shadowed with dark tragedy. The fort witnessed its first death in 1819 when Private William G. Cornell shot Private William Kane point-blank and without remorse over an unknown argument. Unfortunately, more tragedy would follow. In 1871, twenty-eight-year-old George F. Drake slit his own throat after his sweetheart ended their relationship. And in 1879, Private Franz Koppe was mysteriously attacked, later dying of his injuries. The Spanish influenza arrived at Fort Adams in 1918, killing five soldiers in one month. Through these stories of life and death, author Kathleen Troost-Cramer traces the history of this national landmark.Includes maps and photos
True Yankees: The South Seas & the Discovery of American Identity (The Johns Hopkins University Studies in Historical and Political Science #131)
by Dane A. Morrison“[A] fascinating perspective on how America’s early voyages of commerce and discovery to the exotic South Seas helped the new nation forge its identity.” —Eric Jay Dolan, bestselling author of Black Flags, Blue Waters Drawing on private journals, letters, ships’ logs, memoirs, and newspaper accounts, True Yankees traces America’s earliest encounters on a global stage through the exhilarating experiences of five Yankee seafarers. Merchant Samuel Shaw spent a decade scouring the marts of China and India for goods that would captivate the imaginations of his countrymen. Mariner Amasa Delano toured much of the Pacific hunting seals. Explorer Edmund Fanning circumnavigated the globe, touching at various Pacific and Indian Ocean ports of call.

And sea captain Robert Bennet Forbes’s last sojourn in Canton coincided with the eruption of the First Opium War.How did these bold voyagers approach and do business with the people in the region, whose physical appearance, practices, and culture seemed so strange? And how did native men and women—not to mention the European traders who were in direct competition with the Americans—regard these upstarts who had fought off British rule? The accounts of these adventurous travelers reveal how they and hundreds of other mariners and expatriates influenced the ways in which Americans defined themselves, thereby creating a genuinely brash national character—the “true Yankee.” Readers who love history and stories of exploration on the high seas will devour this gripping tale.“The book is informative and entertaining, a rare combination.

True Yankees: The South Seas and the Discovery of American Identity (The Johns Hopkins University Studies in Historical and Political Science #131)
by Dane A. MorrisonAfter breaking free from British rule, American identity had more to do with sailing to the East than trekking into the West.Honorable Mention, US Maritime History, John Lyman Book AwardsWith American independence came the freedom to sail anywhere in the world under a new flag. During the years between the Treaty of Paris and the Treaty of Wangxi, Americans first voyaged past the Cape of Good Hope, reaching the ports of Algiers and the bazaars of Arabia, the markets of India and the beaches of Sumatra, the villages of Cochin, China, and the factories of Canton.

Trumbull
by Trumbull Historical SocietyTrumbull, Connecticut, was a small community with a lush landscape spotted with farms and light industries before the era of World War II. After the war, many soldiers returned to the states and came to Trumbull looking for homes. The explosion of Trumbull's economic market caused much of the farmland to become housing developments to accommodate the veterans and their families. This volume of nearly two hundred images looks back at Trumbull during the quieter era between 1890 and 1940, before the town was flooded with the mad rush of people and businesses. These fifty years detail a history marked by the prosperous times of the early twentieth century, the pain and anguish of World War I, and the gloomy grip of the Depression. Small-town life comes alive in the faces and places of Trumbull, and these photographs and their stories take a reader back into a time that seems so much simpler than today's hustle and bustle.
Trumbull Revisited
by Trumbull Historical SocietyIncorporated in 1797, Trumbull, Connecticut, developed from a collection of farms and settlements in the area north of Stratford. Trumbull's neighborhoods reflect the varied identities of these early settlements. The Nichols area features homes dating as far back as the establishment of the Farm Highway, which was laid out in 1696 and remains the third-oldest thoroughfare in the state. In the now-forested Pequonnock Valley, a 19th-century rail bed ambles past the foundations of wool mills, paper mills, and gristmills that served the community through the 1800s. That same rail line carried thousands of fun seekers to the picnic pavilions, toboggan slide, and other attractions of Parlor Rock Amusement Park in the late 1800s. Just to the west of the valley, a small, surviving triangle of the Long Hill Green marks an area that once buzzed with the production of shirts, cigars, and carriages. Today, Trumbull continues to rediscover itself and frequently receives accolades as one of the state's most desirable communities in which to live and raise a family.
Trust, Tourism Development and Planning (Contemporary Geographies of Leisure, Tourism and Mobility)
by Robin Nunkoo Stephen L. J. SmithThe dynamics of trust and distrust are central to understanding modern society, social relations, and development processes. However, numerous studies suggest that societal trust and citizen’s trust in government and its institutions are on the decline, challenging the legitimacy of government and leading to an undemocratic and unsustainable form of development. Recognizing its importance, the authors for the first time situate trust within the context of tourism development and planning. This volume discusses trust in tourism from different yet intrinsically connected perspectives. Chapters review how diminishing societal trust may have adversely affected tourism planning systems, the role of trust in good tourism governance and sustainable tourism, how trust can be used as a facilitator of participatory tourism planning, political trust in tourism institutions, power and how tourism development can be a basis for trust creation among society members by using social capital theory. In addition, a final section on ‘Researching Trust in Tourism Development’ means that readers are not only provided a thorough theoretical framework on trust and an understanding of its importance for sustainable tourism and good governance of the sector, but also methodological aspects of research on trust in the context of tourism development and planning. This significant volume is valuable reading for students, academics and researchers interested in tourism development and planning.
Truth or Consequences
by Cindy Carpenter Sherry Fletcher"Hot Springs, New Mexico, Ain't That Any More" was one of the headlines on April 4, 1950, in the Gallup Independent. As a publicity stunt, Ralph Edwards had invited a town to change its name to "Truth or Consequences," the name of his popular radio quiz show, and Hot Springs agreed to do so. Since the late 1800s, the area has attracted health seekers to bathe in and drink from the area's hot mineral springs. The region is home to Elephant Butte Dam and lake, completed in 1916, which remains one of the largest irrigation dams in the United States. Carrie Tingley Crippled Children's Hospital, built in 1937 by New Mexico governor Clyde Tingley, utilized the natural hot mineral waters to treat children with polio. From the placement of the Hot Springs Bathhouse and Commercial District on the State and National Register of Historic Places to the centennial celebration of Elephant Butte Dam, Truth or Consequences continues to grow and develop while still honoring its heritage.
Try to Get Lost: Essays on Travel and Place (River Teeth Literary Nonfiction Prize Series)
by Joan FrankThrough the author&’s travels in Europe and the United States, Try to Get Lost explores the quest for place that compels and defines us: the things we carry, how politics infuse geography, media&’s depictions of an idea of home, the ancient and modern reverberations of the word &“hotel,&” and the ceaseless discovery generated by encounters with self and others on familiar and foreign ground. Frank posits that in fact time itself may be our ultimate, inhabited place—the &“vastest real estate we know,&” with a &“stunningly short&” lease.
Trás-os-montes
by Julio LlamazaresLiteratura de viajes de Julio Llamazares, donde su talento narrativo y su profunda capacidad de observación del paisaje brillan con toda su fuerza. «-¿Habrá en el mundo una tierra más pobre que esta?- Sí. Tras-os-Montes, en Portugal.» «Es posible que esta vieja región histórica sea la más atrasada de la Europa civilizada, junto con las zonas más remotas e islas de Grecia y el interior de Cerdeña, Sicilia, Yugoslavia...»Extracto de una guía de viajes de Portugal Y, no obstante, el viajero que protagoniza este viaje portugués va creando, a su lento paso, una narración tan bella, tan hondamente humana, tan transida de comprensión (de los demás, de sí mismo, de la tierra) que el lector transita, en su lectura, por el paisaje más rico: es decir, el del hombre. Llamazares ha escrito un libro de enormes perspectivas, indiferente a los géneros y las clasificaciones. Es novela, si novela es espejo que se pasea al borde del camino. Es libro de viajes, porque las comarcas pasan por sus páginas. Es relato iniciático, porque el viajero va transformándose con su viaje. Y es, sobre todo, gran literatura. Reseñas:«Lo mejor del libro es ese personaje sorprendido por lo que va viendo: ese viajero y su contar calmo y sobrio en el que no es posible medir el tiempo.»El País «El ritmo de su escritura en prosa es deudor de esa ambición de asociar las palabras (y la memoria, que es su fuente) con el ritmo; la música es consustancial con su narrativa, y eso le viene de la poesía.»Juan Cruz, El País «Julio Llamazares es, sin duda, uno de esos escritores que nos reconcilian con el ejercicio de la literatura.»Aurelio Loureiro, Leer «Julio Llamazares sigue siendo un escritor especial, alguien capaz de mirar el mundo de otra manera.»El Correo Gallego «Un escritor de su categoría podría redactar los anuncios por palabras de un periódico y seguiría siendo interesante.»Qué Leer «Llamazares siempre escribe igual cuando viaja, habría que añadir también que siempre escribe bien, sin arrogancia, desprejuiciadamente, con sentido del humor y con cariñosa indulgencia cuando retrata.»Andrés Barba, El Cultural
Tschiffely's Ride: Ten Thousand Miles in the Saddle from Southern Cross to Pole Star
by Aimé TschiffelyFrom the southeast coast of South America through an expanse of Peruvian sands en route to the West Coast, then onward through Central American jungles and rainforest, and finally to New York, Tschiffely's journey was considered impossible and absurd by many newspaper writers in 1925. <P><P>However, after two and a half years on horseback with two of his trusty and tough steeds, this daring trekker lived to tell his best-selling tale. Tschiffely's 10,000-mile journey was filled with adventure and triumph, but it also forced the traveler to deal with tremendous natural and man-made obstacles, as many countries in Central America were war-torn. He traversed rivers and mountains in hurricanes and hail storms, stopping to stay the night with farmers and villagers in huts who often shared their mysterious and superstitious tales. He ate dried goats' meat in a desolate town of Santiago del Estero, watched illegal cockfights and vicious machete battles between plantation workers in Jujuy, and was healed by an Indian herb doctor in the mountains of Bolivia for his infection after excavating graves; these obstacles have captured the hearts of people from around the world. In addition to the remarkable details of his travel expedition, Tschiffely's relationship with his horses, Mancha and Gato, is perhaps the most endearing element of the book, and his photos of the people and places he encountered make Tschiffely's Ride the perfect travel companion for adventure enthusiasts.
Tufts Medical Center (Images of America)
by Daniel Bird Michael Wagner Robert BloombergThe story of Tufts Medical Center and the Floating Hospital for Children encompasses the history of medicine in Boston. It was founded in 1796 as the Boston Dispensary, where district physicians provided free medical care to the poor through annual subscriptions from wealthy Boston families, including such luminaries as Samuel Adams and Paul Revere. Fueled by a huge influx of immigrants at the turn of the 20th century, the city of Boston rapidly expanded and diversified. So too did the hospital, whose growth included the addition of evening clinics to serve the working poor. The Floating Hospital for Children started in 1894 as a ship outfitted as a hospital to take the city's sick children out on Boston Harbor to receive the benefits of fresh ocean air and the attention of a volunteer medical staff. In the 1930s, it merged with the Boston Dispensary and the Pratt Diagnostic Clinic along with Tufts University's Medical School to form the nucleus of today's Tufts Medical Center, a national leader in health care, teaching, and research.
Tuiteando en tuk tuk
by Stefan Mey Alvaro Soldevila RibellesEste libro cuenta la historia de una persona que se fue a la India a trabajar y allí encontró algo muy diferente. Esto puede resultar algo familiar, pues no pocos libros, no pocas películas, no pocas historias han tratado de gente que viaja desde occidente al lejano oriente y alcanza allí la iluminación espiritual. Pero no hay que preocuparse, este libro se esfuerza en ser diferente, ya que ha surgido más o menos sobre la marcha. Al principio fueron los tuits y las entradas en Facebook con los que el autor quería llamar la atención del mundo hacia sus experiencias; entonces surgió un blog… y cuando a su regreso a occidente se dio cuenta de que incluso los más fieles y pacientes de sus amigos acababan huyendo de las cuatro horas de monólogo sobre Shiva y perros callejeros en respuesta a la típica pregunta "¿Cómo están las cosas realmente en India?" decidió fundir todas sus experiencias en un libro. Principalmente para que sus amigos no tuvieran que escucharle más tiempo. Como corresponde a la oscura historia de su nacimiento, este libro se lee de forma diferente a la literatura tradicional sobre viajes. "India 2.0 - Tuiteando en tuk tuk" es como una tableta de chocolate. Esto significa que se puede disfrutar de tres maneras: Se puede leer de principio a fin, como se aprendió en la escuela o se puede abrir en cualquier punto al azar y empezar ahí a disfrutarlo. Los breves capítulos de esta "novela de autodescubrimiento en redes sociales" pueden entenderse también como pequeñas anécdotas en lugar de como una historia completa; pueden leerse tranquilamente entre el último tuit y el siguiente e-mail, porque viajamos con el espíritu de la época: en una era en la que los vídeos de YouTube no deben ser de más de 90 segundos, el consumidor de información medio tiene un margen de atención equivalente a un pez de los canales de Ámsterdam. Y por supuesto quedaría aún una tercera posibilidad: leer el libro, comprar un billete y
