Historic Resource Study - Minidoka Internment National Monument (Paperback): Amy Lowe Meger, U S Department O National Park... Historic Resource Study - Minidoka Internment National Monument (Paperback)
Amy Lowe Meger, U S Department O National Park Service
R562 Discovery Miles 5 620 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This study develops themes to explain the monument's history and to show the center as one of several land uses over time. Organized chronologically, the themes within the study include early Idaho history, prewar settlement and development, racism and discrimination, camp life, and postwar settlement and land use. The role of the federal government is recurring and dominant within these themes. The government created the wartime relocation centers deep in the American interior on federal land. However, Minidoka reaches beyond a federal land use study. Studying the site within a broader agricultural, military, and ethnic history enriches and clarifies the story.

R782 Discovery Miles 7 820 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The year in which the Captain William Smith House was built remains unknown. However, the archival research suggests that 1692 is the most likely date. Architecturally, the house has undergone four major changes to its exterior: circa 1742- 58; circa 1825; circa 1900- 10; and circa 1956. Despite these physical changes, the house retains much of its original fabric, and represents a fine example of late 17th- century architecture in New England.

R724 Discovery Miles 7 240 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This is the first historical study to place the creation of the site within the larger context of the US preservation movement and the establishment of two other important presidential homes: George Washington Birthplace in Virginia, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt's home in New York. The study also incorporates substantial new research on the individual items that Rose Kennedy chose to furnish the home, including items she chose not to include. This section of the study makes clear that the John F. Kennedy Birthplace is both a product of the larger preservation movement and a very personal expression of the president's mother.
