Book Description
The past has left behind only scattered clues that, on their own, provide little insight into how the people of early America lived and the details of their daily lives. The photographs in this book, the deeply informed narrative that accompanies them, and the eyewitness accounts of daily life that the author weaves throughout, provide a fresh perspective on our early American ancestors and the places they called home. This book is about how their houses and their life in them, from the wealthy to the impoverished, from New York City to the small farms and plantations of the South, from coastal fishing towns to the Western frontier of Indiana and Kentucky. The stories focus on the remarkably vivid differences from one part of the country to the next, class and culture, and the realities of everyday life for American families. These stories twine around a wide selection of HABS photographs of early houses, covering the variety and evolutions of house styles -- not by labeling the style but by explaining the style in the context of everyday life.
Richly illustrated with handsome black-and-white photography of old houses from the Library of Congress Historic American Building Survey (HABS) collection and supplemented with period woodcuts, engravings, drawings, paintings, artifacts, and maps, the book is printed on a 4-color press for a depth of tone. Sidebar excerpts from diaries, journals, and letters inject graphic eyewitness descriptions, adding an additional layer of insight. The book also includes sidebars called Still Standing that traces the history of specific houses, from their origins to the present and includes information on the original family, how the house has evolved over the centuries, and how it's used today.

Another Great Social History Book.......2007-07-01
A fascinating account of the homes folks lived in 200 years ago and what each space and room in the home was used for. Mr. Larkin vividly describes by area (New England, the Middle States, the Southern States, and the Western States - as far as what was considered west by 1840), how the people of the past utilized their living spaces. It also describes in detail the many different styles of housing in the geographical areas mentioned, and how the Middle States structures may differ from the, say, New England area.
As mentioned in other reviews, it truly is amazing how many human beings could sometimes be squeezed into a small house with, most likely, little complaining.
In addition to the lively, well-written text, there are many photographs - most taken 50 or more years ago and are in black and white - to enhance the reader's enjoyment.
As an amatuer social historian, I can honestly say this wonderful book is a great find to add to any collection. I am thankful we have historians like Jack Larkin to help us in our quest for real American History.
I can't put it down!.......2007-06-30
I bought this book because I heard an interview with the author on NPR radio and he sounded very interesting. I am loving this book! I thought I would use it more as a reference book, but am finding myself reading it from front to back, gobbling up the photos and other interesting bits of information that he packs in to the pages and sidelines of each page. I love the historical journal readings that he has inserted to make points such as in the bed bugs section he quoted the Farmers Almanac "let a tired farmer be tormented all night" by bed bugs - and another traveler, Joseph Fowler in 1828 found "filthy beds swarming with bugs ... notwithstanding the repeated onsets of the bugs and other vermin with which I was molested." Very funny, written very well and extremely enjoyable historical book. I no longer yearn to live in the 1800's! And have a much deeper understanding of what our forefathers endured ... enjoy!
History Buff.......2007-05-07

Discovering the Places We Once Called Home.......2007-02-20
The book is wonderful! For anyone who loves history, architecture etc., you will enjoy. The photographs are beautiful. It would make a great addition to any library,or to display as a coffee table book.
Book Description
Hidden behind massive 120-year-old gates a few blocks south of downtown Los Angeles is Chester Place, the oldest gated community in the city. Created as an enclave of the wealthy and powerful in 1899, the remarkably intact stately mansions of this historic neighborhood were once home to the movers and shakers of politics, industry, and entertainment. Beside century-old palm trees, the former mansion of oil-industry pioneer Edward Doheny stands as the centerpiece of the neighborhood at No. 8 Chester Place, which was purchased in 1901. His family dominated the neighborhood for the next 57 years. Located side by side with St. James Park in what is today called the West Adams District at the northern extents of University Park, containing the University of Southern California, Chester Place has been home to the campus of Mount St. Mary's College for a generation.
Customer Reviews:
Very Enjoyable Book.......2007-02-12
All the books by Arcadia on 'Images of America' are very good, and this book is no exception. I was always interested in the Doheny's, and Chester Place--have read the biography of Edward Doheny-which is also very good, and have had the good fortune to visit Chester Place and the Doheny Mansion, so this just tops it all off nicely. I also know about the Seavers and Herbert Wylie who had homes there and this explained more about the connection with them and the Doheny's. The photos are just excellent, fact filled and of great interest. I liked this little book alot!
Every picture tells a story.......2007-02-12
Using his considerable storytelling talent, Don Sloper showcases an often overlooked gem of Los Angeles history in this book. Los Angeles and the contributions of the Edward Doheny family come alive for new generations to enjoy. Well done, Mr. Sloper!
Must read for LA history buffs.......2007-02-07
I've always been a big fan of Arcadia Publications and their attempt to recapture Southern California's past. Chester Place continues the Arcadian legacy by providing information about the little known neighborhood called Chester Place. Like the Doheny legacy, Chester Place has been shrouded in history. Mr. Sloper unveils the past with photo's and stories about the inhabitants. Of interest are the pictures in Chapter 6 called Neighbors. The photos are precious, especially the photo of St. Edward who looks remarkably like Mr. Doheny. I was also happy to see photo's of the Stimpson house on Figueroa as it has been a long held mystery to LA. Mr. Sloper narratives are very revealing and the book is entirely enjoyable.
A little slice of LA Heaven.......2007-02-06
In a city where history proves elusive, Mr. Sloper's well-written and engaging book helps to convey a wealth of information and interesting observations of Los Angeles's storied past. Coming from a narrow angle that is the Doheny Mansion and surrounding environs, we learn about a particularly strong couple and their surprisingly normal and quiet life of luxury in the heart of old LA. The pictures and narrative paint a detailed picture of the Doheny family and their mansion and leave the reader with a desire to learn more, to become involved and to perhaps help protect the fragile past in a city that is known for its constant obsession with living in, nay, inventing the future for better or worse.

wonderful guide to the real New York.......2007-02-12
Every large city has its famous landmarks & signature structures which define it in the eyes of the world. For New York, the statue of Liberty, the Empire State building, Times Square and, after 9/11, the absence of the World Trade Towers. These are the sights that travellers and tourists want to see, and having seen them, think that they have "done" New York.
But they have surely missed the best part.
The real New York, the soul and spirit and humanity of old New York is not so obvious, although it is everywhere around. It is found in its quiet corners and intimate spaces, on its avenues and in its old neighbourhoods with names like Flatbush, Canarsie, Vinegar Hill, Spuyten Duyvil, Flushing, Astoria or Greenwich Village. It is found in the vestiges and the relics of New York's disappearing past.
"Forgotten New York" is a wonderful guidebook to 300 years of colourful personages, events and architecture found throughout all five of the City's boroughs, a guide to memories hidden in plain sight. These include many parks, alleys, doorways, gates, theatres, statues, fountains, clocks, lampposts, views, bridges, a lighthouse, signs, plaques, museums, homesteads, facades, monuments and even some ornate iron ventilation shafts.
It is profusely illustrated with photos and numerically keyed maps which make it easy to discover dozens of little gems of history right around the corner from where you live (you Lucky New Yorkers!) or not-so far from those cousins in Queens or old friends in Brooklyn you always meant to visit.
Even for a retired armchair traveller like myself, this book is a passport to rich and vibrant world far removed from the stereotyped New York we thought we knew.
More interesting Places than Any Other Guide Book.......2007-02-03
Although I live in a small town in Nevada, my daughterlives in New York City. She's an actress, and if you want to act on stage you almost have to live in New York.
We were in a book store and found this book. In flipping it over I found a really neat looking German style beet garden. I asked her where it was, and it was just around the corner, down a few blocks from her apartment. In looking at the book we found all kinds of neat places to go visit, far more than the conventional guide books.
Since she started rehersals while I was visiting, I took the book and did a great deal of walking around the city. One thing I found was an amazing amount of wreckage that you wonder why someone hasn't taken over, built something that uses the wreckage as art and developed into very expensive housing.
Basically this book is a collection of literally hundreds of interesting little tidbits from the past. They are broken down into five general categories:
Quiet Places
Truly Forgotten
History Happened Here
What is this Thing
Forgotten People.
As the author says, all you need is a metro-Card and a good pair of walking shoes.
Forgotten New York.......2007-01-28
A must read for visitors and newcomers to this town, as well as native New Yorkers. Can't wait for Part II.
mp, a lifelong Brooklynite
Excellent if you are visiting.......2007-01-14
If you are visiting NYC or even I supose if you live there, this book would be an excellent resourse. It is packed with interesting bits about the history of NYC. Little did I know that whien staying in Canarsie with friends I was literally 5 blocks from the oldest house in NY State, where teh Duke of York stayed after the Brits took New Amsterdam from the Dutch. yet the log cabin I did see only dated back to the 1930's. Where to find old st lamps, old buildings, what that "L" in that subway station in Brooklyn means cause the "L" train doesn't stop there..... it's all a fun read.
If you like the website..........2007-01-11
As a long time fan of the website, I was really excited to see that Mr. Walsh was afforded the opportunity to expand upon a great and unique idea of his. Bottomline: If you like the website, you'll love this book.

Yes. Read it........2005-08-09
As the title suggests, this book is a wonderful guide to the spiritual approach taken in the conception and planning of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. It shows the cultural approach to the collections within the museum, and in the design of the museum. It provides a window into the Native American culture. It also provides a brief history of the Mall, and its design. I wish I had read this book before I had visited the museum. Now, I will just have to return and pay more attention, this time, to the design elements of the museum, the entrance to the museum, and the grounds surrounding it, as well as the collections.
Book Description
This beautifully illustrated book points the traveler to the multiple historic sites of the Civil War. Twenty states are represented in the volume. Each chapter begins with a discussion the the state's overall political and military position in the war. Accompanying this introductory information is a map of the state that pinpoints the areas of interest. Battlegrounds, cemeteries, museums, homes, prisons, and monuments are visited, and each has a listing of addresses, hours of operation, admission fees, if any, and a short descriptions of what can be found at the site.
Customer Reviews:
Great tour guide.......2004-09-17
Anyone interested in traveling to CW sites should have this book. Great illustrations and descriptions of major sites without being bogged down with too many details about the battles that you can read elsewhere.
Each state has their own section, so you can easily flip to whatever state is going to be your destination.
As a bonus, there is a photo of Chalmette Battlefield, which was part of the Battle of New Orleans (War of 1812.) I would have never thought of going there without this book, but I made a side trip there while in New Orleans. The Battlefield site is significant because the antebellum home of a relative of PGT Beauregard sits near the grounds.
The author also has a great book on American Revolution sites. It's similar in nature to this one.
Impressive.......2000-04-16
Very readable. A must have for civil war researchers!

The Real Wild West : The 101 Ranch and the Creation of the American West
ASIN: 0887404375 |
Book Description
Occasionally, some notably historic piece of Americana--artifacts, photographs, or written materia--turns up from forgotten storage. Such is the case with the 155 pristine negatives printed in Pawnee Bill's Historic Wild West. They were taken while the show was on tour between 1900 and 1905 by cowboy/amateur photographer Harry Bock. This is truly a photo documentary without parallel and offers western, historical, and tent show buffs a visual look back in time with exceptional detail and clarity. These images of the hand-carved wagons, tents, midway crowds, Indians, cowboys, cowgirls, equipment, and buffalo are accompanied by the carefully researched story of the adventure-filled life of Major Gordon W. Lillie/Pawnee Bill--buffalo hunter, plains scout, White Chief of the Pawnees, Wild West showman, land boomer, oilman, banker, conservationist. The photographer, "Buckskin Harry" Bock, another frontier pioneer and cowboy/carpenter, worked many years for Pawnee Bill until becoming a Baptist missionary to the Pawnee Indians. Together their lives provide a fascinating background to accompany this visual close-up look at a period in life that is gone forever--the Wild West show of the early 1900s--the forerunner of our modern rodeo. Pawnee Bill's Historic Wild West belongs in all museum and collectors' libraries.

5 Star Printing with 1 Star Text.......2007-07-06
This is a beautiful book. The maps and illustrations are magnificently reproduced with the superb quality I have come to expect from Italian printers. Unfortunately, the book's usefulness is limited by the text, set in an almost unreadable typeface. Whoever designed this book obviously does not read much. It's a pity. The authors had a lot to say, but it takes a major effort to read it.
Very Interesting!.......2007-01-09
As a fan of historic cartography, this is a "must have" book to own.
A Rich Visual History.......2006-03-23
After enjoying this informative and graphically rich tome, I feel a better title for it might be "Nine American Cities: A Visual History."
The cities highlighted in this book are Boston, Chicago, Denver, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, St Louis, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. Containing historical maps and illustrations accompanied by essays explaining historic and narrative context, "American Cities" surprises and delights by revealing how these cities used to be and developed into the cities we know now. The enjoyment and relevance increases when the city under exploration happens to be one in which one lives. As I have lived in two of the nine cities and am familiar with another, I found this book especially engaging, although residence in one of the nine cities need not be a requirement to enjoy this beautifully formatted book. The two editors are dealers in antique maps and books, and their love of their work shows in "American Cities".

If you're interested in the cultural landscapes associated with mining, this book is a must. Great stuff on Bisbee, AZ. Fantastic maps show the development of that mining landscape over time.

ASIN: 1589803469 |
Book Description
The day before Hurricane Katrina_s thirty-five-foot-tall tidal surge wiped away three hundred years of the Gulf Coast_s history, including numerous antebellum and other historic structures, Jim Fraiser and Rick Guy were still photographing the Mississippi Gulf Coast to document and preserve her history, culture, and architecture. This book, containing 142 color photographs of what existed before and after Katrina, provides updated information on historical landmarks from Biloxi_s Beauvoir, the last residence of Confederate president Jefferson Davis, to Gulfport_s Dantzler House, home to one of Mississippi_s most significant lumber-exporting families. Fraiser and Guy have done a brilliant job paying homage to the coastal landmarks that once lined the beach highways and transported visitors to bygone eras of unsurpassed luxury. Fraiser, who has always been impressed by the resilience of the Gulf Coast residents who survived three major wars, plague, and numerous devastating hurricanes, wrote, "We offer this book as a reminder to the world of what the vanished Mississippi coast was before August 29, 2005, and, considering the unyielding spirit of her people, what it will surely be once again."

"The founders of the acclaimed Big Onion Walking Tours outline 10 historical walks in their home borough, from America's first pencil factory to Bedford-Stuyvesant's beautiful row houses to Coney Island."—San Francisco Chronicle.
Visit the Big Onion Guide to New York City site at
www.nyupress.org/bigonion
"One could scarcely find a more informative and engaging guide than this book, distilled from the award-winning tours developed over the last decade by Big Onion Walking Tours...It is a delight, deeply knowledgeable, presented with wit and style. Would that more historians engage the public so well."
— New York History, Spring 2002
Whether you're a tourist or a native New Yorker, you will appreciate this witty, informative walking guide to New York City, as authors Seth Kamil and Eric Wakin peel back the layers of New York's most popular neighborhoods. Here in one volume are their award-winning tours. In their "Immigrant New York" tour you can take a walk on the Bowery, the most infamous street in the city and learn how the city's finest roadway became America's "Skid Row." In "Before Stonewall" you'll discover the many facets of gay and lesbian history and trace the development of Greenwich Village as a cultural mecca. From SoHo to the Upper West Side; from Harlem to Brooklyn there's something in
The Big Onion Guide for everyone.
The authors show how it was nothing new when Mayor Giuliani was unable to ban sales by immigrant mobile food vendors.
The Guide takes us to the place where the Dutch tried to ban street side sales by Scottish peddlers 350 years ago, and where the great Fiorello La Guardia banned most of the pushcart salesmen at midcentury.
But Kamil and Wakin are not nostalgists or preservationists. Instead, their historical tours connect today's city with the snapshots of yesterday, blending social and cultural history with the evolution of different ethnic and cultural communities.
The Big Onion Guide includes ten walking tours, plus a 5-borough driving tour, peppered with informative sidebars, illustrations, and photos from the collection at the New-York Historical Society.

Big Onion Guide to New York City.......2006-03-09
Here's everything you ever wanted to know about Manhattan in a breezy presentation of facts and intimate history about the Big Apple.
Informative walking tour.......2003-05-01
We just came back from NYC and went on one of the walking tours in this book--guided by the author Eric Wakin (Ethnic Eating Tour of Chinatown and Little Italy). Mr Wakin took us into Chinatown and discussed how the area is a living, breathing, working neighborhood, filled with shops, pushcarts, and restaurants that cater to the neighborhood's residents. We then walked into Little Italy and noticed how the neighborhoo is nothing but restaurants designed to attract tourists. Quite a contrast. Mr Wakin discussed how the neighborhoods have changed over the centuries as the older, more established immigrants move out and new immigrants (often of a different ethnic background) come in. The author was knowledgeable about his facts and history and the the different food tidbits were a real treat!
A Must-Have for those who Love New York.......2003-02-02
Whether you are a native New Yorker or a tourist visiting New York City for the first time, you need to pick up a copy of The Big Onion Guide To New York City.
Big Onion has established itself as the leading walking tour company in New York City for over 10 years. And for good reason. Their guides are American history graduate students who know and love the city.
Big Onion's first guide book is loaded with interesting facts and stories about the city's history. Their easy-to-follow self-guided tours will delight tourists exploring the city's streets and enlighten even native New Yorkers who think they know everything about their hometown.
I'm constantly using this book as a reference book to look up facts about New York history. In my opinion, two of the best tours are the Lower East Side, with its tales of immigrant life, and Central Park, which the book calls New York's "greatest public space." There is even a driving tour (which I haven't tried yet) for those who want to explore New York's "outer boroughs."
The book is concise, well-written and always informative. It's a must-have for anyone interested in New York City history.
