Newton, Kansas, was established by the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad as a new railhead for the Chisholm Cattle Trail in 1871. After two years as the wildest cow town in the West, Newton became a center for Mennonite migration and wheat production in east central Kansas, with the railroad moving it all. In addition to eastern European immigrants and hard winter wheat seed, the rails brought even more people from differing backgrounds, all of whom helped the town grow and change. Images of America: Newton shows those people and the places where they worked, worshipped, and played and includes many photographs from residents' family albums in addition to images from public archives. Meet the residents of this "Crossroads of Kansas" city, from the locally famous to the folks next door, in the pages of Newton.

A Five Hundred Year-Old Document Reveals the Challenges Facing a Modern Engineer as He Struggles to Survive in Fifteenth Century Spain

By: Joe B. Gilbert

Robinson Crusoe, the Connecticut Yankee, lone survivor of nuclear holocaust: how would these the creations of human hubris really fare removed from the support of their usual surroundings? Gilbert offers an answer, delightful as well as astute, in his humane and technologically-savvy book. Youll have a wonderful time with protagonist, John Hughes, as he struggles and finds his own answer to this old, old riddle. John H. Lienhard, Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering and History at the University of Houston, host of The Engines of our Ingenuity on National Public Radio, and author of the book by the same name (Oxford University Press) John Hughes, a modern day engineer, finds himself thrown back in time to fifteenth century Spain. He tries to employ his engineering background to gain some sort of advantage, even to survive, but none of his inventions gets off the ground. Hes frustrated at every turn. He has read Mark Twains A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court. The Yankee, he remembers, built a railway, a phonograph, a typewriter, a country-wide telegraph system. How did he make that wire, Hughes laments, How did he generate the electricity? He then descends into self-pity, muttering, I would give a months wages for a box of assorted nuts and bolts. A sub-theme is Hughess desperate urge to send word to his daughter, telling her he did not abandon her. But how, he asks, do you send a message to an unknown continent and only after 450 years have passed?
