Eye on the Future

Business People in Calgary and the Bow Valley, 1870-1900

By: Henry Cornelius Klassen

An accessible business history that considers the dynamic interplay between economic climate and the personal determination of business people in the late 1800s. The book provides insight into how entrepreneurs, retailers, manufacturers, bankers, farmers, and ranchers pioneered a booming business city. It discusses the people and activities that helped to create the conditions in which Calgary emerged as a city and the Bow Valley an important agricultural centre. Historical figures such as Isaac G Baker, Agnes K Bedingfeld, and James A Lougheed in the context of business in Calgary. The author also talks about the obstacles that faced business and civic leaders: how to promote economic growth of the city; how to create demand for goods and services; how to finance transportation improvements; how to assimilate substantial social and political change.

Encyclopedia of Place Names in the United States

By: Henry Gannett

Place names in the United States are often taken from the European nation that first colonized the land. Many names that have been transferred from Britain, as is the case with Barnstable, Massachusetts and Danbury, Connecticut. Many others are of French origin, such as Detroit, Michigan, which was established along the banks of the river they called le détroit du lac Érié, meaning the strait of Lake Erie. Many in the former New Netherland colony are of Dutch origin, such as Harlem, Brooklyn and Rhode Island. Many place names are taken from the languages of native peoples. Specific (personal or animal) names and general words or phrases are used, sometimes translated and sometimes not. However complicated the tracing back of the place names was, this encyclopedia lists thousands and thousands of place names in the United States of America and provides valuable information as to the origin and the history of the name. A fantastic reference work for everyone interested in American history.
