"This complete, definitive, and illustrated survey of small nineteenth-century printing presses, written by a former curator at the Smithsonian Institution, is the first history of these lovely, useful, and varied machines. For there were, in those days, small printing presses created for every purpose. And there were, as well, innumerable boys and countless men eager to make their fortunes by investing in one, buying a few fonts of type, printing for a local clientele, and, with luck, building a printing or publishing empire." "What the desktop computer is to today, these small iron workhorses were to the nineteenth century. This book catalogues, describes, and illustrates over a hundred, with their makers, giving machine specifications as well as patent information. It provides a mine of previously undocumented printing information. No one seriously interested in the history of printing technology can afford to be without it."--BOOK JACKET.

A guide to the history and culture of the American Southwest, as told through early encounters with fifteen iconic sites This unique guide for literate travelers in the American Southwest tells the story of fifteen iconic sites across Arizona, New Mexico, southern Utah, and southern Colorado through the eyes of the explorers, missionaries, and travelers who were the first non-natives to describe them. Noted borderlands historians David J. Weber and William deBuys lead readers through centuries of political, cultural, and ecological change. The sites visited in this volume range from popular destinations within the National Park System—including Carlsbad Caverns, the Grand Canyon, and Mesa Verde—to the Spanish colonial towns of Santa Fe and Taos and the living Indian communities of Acoma, Zuni, and Taos. Lovers of the Southwest, residents and visitors alike, will delight in the authors’ skillful evocation of the region’s sweeping landscapes, its rich Hispanic and Indian heritage, and the sense of discovery that so enchanted its early explorers.

"What I Saw in America" is a group of essays by using the famend English author G. K. Chesterton, providing his eager observations and reflections at the United States in the course of his go to inside the early Twenties. Chesterton, celebrated for his wit and highbrow intensity, brings a completely unique and sometimes paradoxical attitude to his analysis of American society and tradition. Throughout the ebook, Chesterton engages with the American spirit, democracy, and the exceptional characteristics of the state. He expresses admiration for the American commitment to liberty and individualism while simultaneously critiquing the potential pitfalls of immoderate materialism and the erosion of cultural historical past. Chesterton's writings offer a nuanced and frequently funny portrayal of America's political landscape, societal values, and its rapid industrialization. He appreciates the diversity and dynamism of america but also voices worries about the risk of homogenization and the loss of historical and cultural identification. Remains a precious ancient document that gives insights into America's past and a perspective from a foreign observer. Chesterton's distinctive style, marked by using paradoxes and witty prose, makes "What I Saw in America" a fascinating and idea-provoking examine for those interested in early 20th-century America and the complicated interaction of its strengths and demanding situations.
