Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 428 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Philadelphia began, nearly a century before the American Revolution, as the colony of Englishman and Quaker convert William Penn. Founded in 1681 on the doctrines of the Quaker faith, the city in Penn's Woods rose to prominence quickly,… ultimately serving as host to the First and Second Continental Congresses, and the Constitutional Convention at Independence Hall, key milestones in the birth of the United States of America. Benjamin Franklin and the other Founding Fathers convened in Philadelphia to sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776, a singular moment in world history celebrated one hundred years later at the International Exhibition of Arts, Manufactures, and Products of the Soil and Mine, better known as the Centennial Exposition, also hosted by the city. For a time, the fledgling nation's capital was here, and throughout time, Philadelphia has remained front and center in any discussion of America's time-honored history and traditions. As a project devoted to celebrating the decorated and emblematic past of this great American city, The Philadelphia Citizen's Almanac: Daily Readings on the City of Brotherly Love showcases pinnacle moments in Philadelphia's journey through time, along with little known anecdotes, facts, figures, and other lore. Included are essays on a wide range of topics, from John Adams' account of the signing of the Declaration of Independence to Major League baseball's encounter with the Phillie Phanatic, spanning every epoch in the city's history from its origins and growth to the recent past. Every day in the calendar year includes a detailed look at a historical event that took place on that day, followed by a listing of events of consequence, and each of the twelve months concludes with an essay that elaborates on one theme. Begin the new year right by escaping a few minutes each day to retrace key moments in the life of America's birthplace, the city of Philadelphia.
