Author Jake Klim chronicles the attack from the first shell fired to the aftermath and celebrates the resilience of Orleans at war.
On the morning of July 21, 1918--in the final year of the First World War--a new prototype of German submarine surfaced three miles off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The vessel attacked an unarmed tugboat and its four barges. A handful of the shells fired by the U-boat's deck guns struck Nauset Beach, giving the modest town of Orleans the distinction of being the only spot in the United States to receive enemy fire during the entire war. On land, lifesavers from the U.S. Coast Guard launched a surfboat under heavy enemy fire to save the sailors trapped aboard the tug and barges. In the air, seaplanes from the Chatham Naval Air Station dive-bombed the enemy raider with payloads of TNT.

Christine Klim Doell Название: Gardens of the Gilded Age: Nineteenth-Century Gardens and Homegrounds of New York State ISBN: 0815604416 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780815604419 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 20860.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Houses and gardens created in America between 1860 and 1917 were ""modern"" manifestations of nineteenth century art, science, and industry, conveying cultural values in their form, function, style, and materials. Now Increasing public interest in the restoration of nineteenth-century properties has provoked curiosity about their physical surroundings. While many buildings from the period survive intact, their landscape and garden settings, in most cases, have long since disappeared. Natural cycles of growth and decay, together with manmade changes, have left only remnants of the historic landscape – a dilapidated fence post, the arching canopy of a venerable tree, some persistent spring bulbs at a dooryard, Based on a careful study of historic photographs from museums, libraries, archives, and private collections, Gardens of the Gilded Age explains the history, design, and social function of ornamental gardens and homegrounds in New York State during the latter parts of the nineteenth century. As early as 1820, New York State had become the nation’s leader in population, foreign and domestic commerce, transportation, banking, and manufacturing. New York also took the lead in influencing the rest of the nation in the theory and practice of horticulture and landscape gardening. The more than one hundred photographs featured in Gardens of the Gilded Age were not selected for their aesthetic quality alone, or for their uniqueness. While including magnificent proprieties such as Sonnenberg, Lorenzo, and Box Hill, many show ordinary gardens which reflect the character of common people in the art and craft of garden making. Taken together, these garden photographs provide a new perspective on American customs in landscape gardening from 1860 to 1917.
