Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Braddock, Allegheny County is named after British general Edward Braddock, a military leader whose miscalculation of Native American fighting prowess cost him fame, glory, and life in 1755. The place of defeat was long remembered as Braddock's Field. The battle was a world-changing event, as it altered the course of American and world history. George Washington was the most memorable participant. His experiences proved invaluable during America's war for independence. Braddock's Field later served as a gathering point for whiskey tax protestors wishing to express their outrage upon horror-struck residents of Pittsburgh. Miners, factory workers, and shopkeepers soon displaced farmers. Andrew Carnegie built his first steel mill, a facility of such magnitude that it became the impetus for creating U.S. Steel Corporation. Carnegie also built his first American public library here. Drawing from the archives of Braddock Carnegie Library and area residents, Braddock, Allegheny County chronicles the evolution of this resilient community.…

Zustand: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Daly was born in Western Pennsylvania and spent most of his professional life as a leading medical practitioner in Pittsburgh. He served on both sides in the Civil War, hunted with Buffalo Bill and General Nelson A. Miles, and traveled extensively, studying at leading hospitals in Europe. His fame rested initially on his pioneering work in the specialties of laryngology and rhinology. Later in his career, however, it was the imbroglio he caused as major and surgeon-in-chief of the U.S. Volunteers during the Spanish-American War that brought him national notoriety. In 1898, Daly became enmeshed in a controversy popularly referred to as the "embalmed beef scandal." Having found the purveyors of beef to the Army were experimentally using hazardous preservatives on the meat, Daly convinced his friend, General Miles, to take on the War Department. The ensuing trial attracted national attention and resulted in the forced resignation of Secretary of War Russell A. Alger and the court-martial of Commissary General Charles P. Eagan. Daly's role in bringing attention to the activities of the meatpacking industry cannot be overstated. The sensational outcome of the hearings remained in the news for months and caught the public eye. It was not long before Upton Sinclair and others began their clarion calls for government intervention that resulted in passage of the Pure Food and Drugs Act and the Meat Inspection Act in June 1906.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 256 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The earliest physicians arriving in Pittsburgh had their roots in military service. The legacy of these physician-soldiers extends from pioneer days through modern times. The involvement of military contingents, physicians serving with or trained by military units, and the myriad organizations that were created to respond to their efforts have played a critical role in the long-term development of healthcare in the city. It started with the first physician-soldiers who came with the British army. Initially, they came to evict the French and claim the area in the king's name, and later they returned to protect the Ohio Land Company's first settlements. Initially, their presence was fleeting; they stayed only as long as orders required. It would not be long before the settlements grew and an initial few decided to stay and make the area their home. As Physician-Soldiers at the Forks: The Impact of the Military on Medical Care in Pittsburgh (1754 - 1900) demonstrates, the military left an indelible mark on the city's medical practices. Today, Pittsburgh is a city driven by its medical and education sectors, both grown from roots that were planted more than 250 years ago on the day that the first physician-soldier landed at the forks. The foundations that were laid by these physician-soldiers should not be forgotten, and this is their story.…
