More History from the Mid-Atlantic
The Lehigh Valley Railroad established the Bethlehem Iron Company in 1860 along the Lehigh River in South Bethlehem. The Bethlehem Iron Company manufactured the largest steel axle to date to support the first Ferris wheel at the 1893 World’s Fair. More than fifty-one million guests visited the fair before it closed forever in 1965. The 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair captures the history of this event through vintage photographs, published here for the first time. mages of America: Building Washington National Cathedral divides the 20th century into decades to detail what must be the first published beginning-to-completion photographic record of the construction of a Gothic cathedral. Prince George’s County, one of Maryland’s most populous counties, has a rich and vibrant history. The Morris Canal, once an important soldier in the American Industrial Revolution, has been gone for most of the 20th century, but its memory lives on in the many photographs, postcards, and other memorabilia that its unique presence inspired. The memorable photographs and detailed captions in Images of America: Dover offer a fascinating look at the nation’s first state capital, including its residents, events, farms, and local architecture.
