NEW Arcadia Publishing Around Columbus, TX 9780738585444 Images of America Trade Welcome to Columbus! The county seat of Colorado County, Columbus is the oldest surveyed and platted Anglo American town in Texas. It was first platted in 1823 by Stephen F. Austin and Baron DeBastrop as a possible site for the Texas capital. It was platted again in 1837 by W.B. DeWees and J.W.E. Wallace. Many of Austin’s “Old 300” settled in Columbus and the surrounding area, including Alleyton and Glidden, which were founded as railroad towns. The area played an important role in the history of Texas, including Santa Anna’s pursuit of Sam Houston’s Texas army that resulted in the burning of Columbus during the “Runaway Scrape.” Columbus suffered other setbacks, such as the long-running Stafford-Townsend feud and lawlessness resulting in disincorporation in the early 1900s, and enjoyed the good fortune of its reincorporation in the 1920s. However, today, it is a town of people who greatly value their heritage and seek to preserve it. NEW Arcadia Publishing Around Columbus, TX 9780738585444 Images of America Trade Welcome to Columbus!

NEW Arcadia Publishing Battle Creek, MI 9780738533056 Images of America Trade Pa

NEW Arcadia Publishing Battle Creek, MI 9780738533056 Images of America Trade Pa In 1825, two government surveyors platting the southwest Michigan territory engaged in a small skirmish with two Native Americans. With a humorous nod, the surveyors gave the name Battle Creek to the river where this encounter took place. A few years later, a group of entrepreneurs, led by Sands McCamly, established a milling community and named it after the river. Thus the city of Battle Creek had its start. Over the following 170 years, it has grown into a thriving community of culture and character. This book uses historical photos and rare illustrations to trace Battle Creek’s chronological development, from its water-powered mills, its railroads and factories, and its identity as a major stop on the Underground Railroad to its eventual pre-eminence as the “Cereal City.” NEW Arcadia Publishing Battle Creek, MI 9780738533056 Images of America Trade Pa In 1825, two government surveyors platting the southwest Michigan territory engaged in a small skirmish with two Native Americans.
